Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, collaborative and goal oriented. Counselling is not "one size fits all". I will work with you to find an approach that meets your specific needs and therapeutic goals. I am formally trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Hypnosis, but also use cognitive-behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and mindfulness in my counselling approach.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a transformative approach that helps individuals process traumatic memories and emotional distress quickly and effectively. By utilizing techniques that combine elements of traditional talk therapy with guided imagery, ART facilitates rapid healing and resolution of issues such as anxiety, PTSD, and phobias. Clients often experience relief in just a few sessions, leading to reduced symptoms and improved emotional well-being.
Hypnosis Therapy
Hypnosis is a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. It enables individuals to access their subconscious mind, facilitating deep relaxation and heightened awareness. This state can help address a variety of issues, including stress, anxiety, phobias, insomnia and even chronic pain. By working with a trained professional, clients can uncover and reframe limiting beliefs, boost self-confidence, and foster positive behavioural changes.
