Client Services:

HYPNOTHERAPY:

Hypnosis is very much like reading a good book and getting so absorbed in it that you forget where you are while you are reading; or like looking out of the window, with a far-away look in your eyes, thinking intently about a particular thing and zoning out. If you are familiar with these types of experiences, then you have already been in hypnosis, the only difference is you didn't call it that - you probably called it 'day-dreaming'. Hypnosis allows a clinical hypnotherapist to work with a client in changing the way they think and hence create more positive and desirable outcomes.

COUNSELLING:

Many people feel "stuck" in some aspect of their life, but don't feel they need "therapy", simply some help. If this is your case, then maybe counselling or coaching would be of benefit to you.

APPROACH:

Each of us are unique. We see, hear and feel the world through our experiences, which are filtered and interpreted in our mind, both the conscious and subconscious mind, and every single minute of everyday has been felt, interpreted and stored - to form the basis of interpretation for future events. The good memories and events - encouraged and strengthened our sense of who we are; on the other hand; the not so good events, we squashed down and buried, what else could we have done, when we young and small, until that unfinished business started rearing its ugly head as an adult, manifesting in undesirable: habits, behaviours and limitations, that hold us back from being the people we desire to be.

Hypnosis is excellent for changing the way we think. We provide quality, confidential and compassionate assistance to individuals who are ready to change and who are prepared to shift their thinking. We offer a holistic approach to facilitate growth and help achieve the changes that his clients are seeking and to work with them to achieve their true potential. An underlying tenant is that clients have the power to shift their thinking. Our diverse range of education and training, life experience, positive attitude and capacity to embrace others with respect and empathy, allows us to assist many clients to achieve their goals in a confidential and practical way.
