Hypnotherapy is a somatic and experiential approach that uses focused attention and a relaxed, receptive state to help create meaningful change in thoughts, emotions, habits, and nervous-system responses. It works with the brain’s natural capacity for learning and change, helping you develop new patterns that support greater wellbeing, freedom, and connection.

Hypnotherapy can help you

• Let go of past memories

• Improve relationship communication

• Shift unhelpful patterns and get you ‘unstuck’

• It can help you become embodied and rewire your brain on a neurological level

• It can help you explore who you truly are

EMDR is a somatic, experiential therapy that helps the brain and nervous system reprocess experiences that may feel emotionally or physically “stuck.” It can help reduce the intensity of difficult memories, triggers, and deeply held beliefs, allowing you to feel more present, grounded, and free to move forward.

• It can help free you from past memories

• It can improve relationship communication

• It can shift automatic reactions

• It can help you become embodied

• It can increase motivation and help you move towards your preferred future

EFT Tapping is a mind-body technique that pulls together mindfulness, acupressure, CBT, and energy psychology. It combines focused attention on a specific concern with gentle tapping on points on the body.

It can help

• Calm the nervous system

• Manage panic attacks and anxiety

• Reduce emotional intensity

• Shift patterns of stress, fear, and limiting beliefs

• Reduce pain

• Help you learn to better communicate with your body

Ego State / Parts Therapy is a compassionate approach that explores the different “parts” of ourselves that hold unique emotions, beliefs, needs, and protective roles. By understanding and connecting with these parts, we can resolve inner conflicts, create greater harmony, and help you feel more integrated, grounded, and at home within yourself.

In my practice, Parts Therapy is often used in EMDR and Hypnotherapy.

It can help

• Change habits

• Develop deep self-compassion

• Heal childhood wounds

• Create a free future

Rooted in Buddhist traditions, mindfulness helps you develop greater awareness and appreciation of the present moment, while becoming more connected and embodied in your everyday experience. With practice, it can cultivate greater calm, presence, and happiness.

Guided imagery uses the imagination to create a sense of safety, grounding, and possibility, while offering a way to explore your inner world and make meaningful change. It can also be a simple and restorative way to pause, recentre, and reconnect with yourself.

In my practice I use both practices in

• Hypnotherapy

• EMDR

• Somatic Work

• Parts Therapy

• EFT Tapping

• Chronic Pain Relief

Somatic therapy brings awareness to the body and nervous system as an integral part of the therapeutic process. Through bottom-up practices, we learn to listen to sensations, emotions, shifts in heart rate, and other signals from the body, helping us understand what your nervous system may be communicating and supporting the release and processing of emotions, memories, and trauma.

A somatic approach is woven into all of my work. Together, we work toward making your body feel like a safe place to live in and come home to, while developing greater trust, compassion, and appreciation for the ways your body communicates with you.

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses less on what is wrong and more on where you want to go and what is already working. Together, we identify your strengths, resources, and desired future, then build practical steps toward meaningful change—helping you recognize possibilities, progress, and the capacity you already have within you.

SFT focuses on goals, the future, and avoiding the trap of rumination that can occur in therapy when we focus too much on the ‘story’ of our pain.

There are many ways therapists work with pain, from asking clients to ignore it, live with it, befriend it, or even to try to tell themselves that it is just something to learn to live alongside.

In my work we re-wire the brain, nervous system, and how you process sensation - while learning to understand what messages are important from the feelings, and what is redundant or useless.

Pain always has a message, but once that message is received, we can learn to thank the messenger and move on to freedom and wisdom.

I am trained in several pain relief techniques rooted in neurology, psychology, and medicine.
