Unity Wellbeing Therapy

I have experience in a neuro-rehabilitation centre working with adults with brain injury from drug and alcohol addictions and trauma, helping these individuals to understand their illness and better cope day-to-day with the psychological struggles accompanied with these conditions. Having studied a BSc in Psychology, gaining a first class honours, a Masters in Cognitive Neuroscience and working in related psychological, analytical and scientific fields for 10 years, I strongly believe in a scientific and evidenced-based approach to therapy.

CBH (Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy) unites my experience and passions, providing a very well equipped tool-kit, deeply underpinned by scientific research, for dealing with common personal issues that arise in individual day-to-day lives. I am experienced in treating a wide range of stress and anxiety related issues, including phobias, low self-esteem, low self-worth, general anxiety and stress, tension, sleep issues, pain management, habits and performance.

My approach to CBH is present based and solution-focused and fully integrates CBT with evidence-based hypnosis, incorporating mindfulness, relaxation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a strong focus on practical techniques and skills training for building long-term resilience and self-efficacy. I am able to tailor treatment individually to work with you on specific issues - following a client-led approach. As part of private practice and in addition to one-to-one therapy I run customised workshops such as on self-hypnosis; mindfulness and relaxation; stress and resilience and well-being at work.

One of the most exciting findings from scientific research for me is that people can literally change their brains and change their lives by engaging in regular healthy habits for your brain, such as correcting negative beliefs,

using meditation, mindfulness techniques, imaginal rehearsal and general relaxation and resilience skills.
