UNLOCKING THE POWER OF THE MIND
THE PSCHOTHERAPISTS JOURNEY
My path to becoming a hypnotherapist: Despite the outward success, I found myself feeling increasingly depressed, disconnected, and overwhelmed. Every day felt like an out-of-body experience—I was simply going through the motions, saying “yes” to everything without feeling like the real me. This sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction was a clear signal that something needed to change.
I’ve always had an underlying curiosity about human behaviour, and this curiosity, combined with my own need for change, led me to explore hypnotherapy. The mind, I realized, is an incredibly powerful tool—one that is often underutilized. Hypnotherapy offered me a way to tap into that power, to not only understand my own strengths but also to help others do the same.
The Transition
The transition was not easy. I spent a full year training to become a qualified hypnotherapist, and I still vividly remember the first time I conducted a hypnotherapy session with a fellow student. I was incredibly nervous and doubted whether I had the right ‘hypno-voice’ for it. But the relief and confidence I felt after successfully guiding them through the session were transformative. This was just the beginning, and with each practice session, my belief in my ability to help others grew stronger.
My Approach
In my practice, I do not view hypnotherapy as a quick fix or a “one-hit wonder.” Our minds and lives are far more complex than that. I approach each client holistically, looking at their life rather than focusing on a single fear or phobia. Often, we mask our real fears with something that feels less painful or easier to manage, and it’s through hypnotherapy that we can unearth and address these deeper issues.
There is always the possibility that a client might struggle to relax or wake during a session—after all, we are only human. When this happens, I calmly refocus on their breathing and repeat the deep relaxation techniques, ensuring that we take the time needed to reach a state of calm. You cannot rush these things; true healing takes time and patience.
Common Issues I Address
I work with clients on a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety
- Self-esteem
- Confidence
- Self-defeating behaviors
- Mild depression
- Trauma
- Stress
- Panic attacks
- Confidence in the workplace
Every individual is unique, and the way these issues manifest can vary from person to person. This is why I take a personalised approach to each client, tailoring sessions to their specific needs and circumstances.
Building Confidence and Self-Belief
Over time, practice and a shift in mindset have helped me grow in confidence. I no longer feel the pressure to “fix” everything for my clients. Instead, I help them understand that they must be open to the therapy and willing to embark on their own healing journey. My role is to guide them, to show them that they have the strength and resources within themselves to make lasting changes.
Leveraging My Marketing Experience
Interestingly, my background in agency marketing has equipped me with valuable skills that I bring into my hypnotherapy practice. I’m able to connect with people openly and authentically, and I’ve developed a keen ability to recognize when someone is experiencing burnout—something I know all too well.
The Power of Hypnotherapy
In my practice, hypnotherapy is a holistic and personalized approach, tailored to each client’s unique needs. The process begins in the comfort of my treatment room, where you can choose to fully relax on the couch or recline in the chair—whatever feels most comfortable for you. The room is dimly lit, with soft, relaxing music playing in the background, creating a tranquil environment where you can begin to unwind.
As you settle in and start to focus on your breathing, I’ll begin the hypnotherapy script, which is specifically tailored to address your individual concerns. I guide you through a full-body relaxation, helping you to release any tension and enter a deep state of calm. As this relaxation deepens, you will become increasingly focused on my voice, letting go of the outside world.
Once you are in a deep state of relaxation, I will speak positive suggestions to your subconscious mind—this is where real change begins. These suggestions are designed to help you tap into your inner strength and resources, enabling you to overcome the challenges you face.
Finally, I will gently guide you back to a state of full awareness, leaving you feeling alert, refreshed, and ready to take on the world. Hypnotherapy is completely safe, and while I guide you through the process, it’s ultimately you who makes the changes, harnessing the power within yourself to achieve lasting positive outcomes.
