I worked in creative industry for 25 years before training to become a therapist, mostly in and around music. I had therapy myself along the way when I felt stuck, or unsure about where to go next, and it was of enormous benefit to me, especially while I was working in that environment which, at that time, didn't concern itself too much with mental wellbeing.
I was drawn to Cognitive Hypnotherapy because of its immediacy. You don’t need to spend years going over and over things that make you feel sad. Sessions can be surprising, moving, upsetting, uplifting… never boring. Change can happen right there in the room, often in the first couple of sessions. I sometimes deal with difficult topics and we might even be talking about subjects you spend your whole life trying to avoid. I take this very seriously but my clients are constantly amazed how fun the overall experience can be. Whether you are hoping to overcome something that only rears its head occasionally - perhaps a fear of flying, or public speaking - or you want to change something that you find is holding you back in some way each and every day, I can work with you to make the changes you are hoping for.
