Therapies

Hypnotherapy:  
Is nothing like what you see on the TV or on Stage. The 'therapy' being key.   It is essentially a powerful state of relaxation where your subconscious is open to new learnings that have been discussed prior to the trance.   You are fully in control.   You can not be made do things you don't want to do.   It's a very positive and effective experience that can be taught to each client so they can practice self-hypnosis for greater independence.

NLP: Neuro Linguistic Programming.   
This is all about 'how we think' not 'why'.   It examines the way we organise our thoughts and behavior to produce results. The 'Neuro' acknowledges the fact that we process information about the world through our five senses. 'Linguistic' refers to the verbal language that we use to communicate with each other, as well as our internal thoughts and our external 'body language'. 'Programming' relates to the patterns of behavior we all demonstrate.   It's a very positive way forward. NLP does not examine your past, but helps you create a new future.

TFT:
Psychological problems are often felt around the body, but do indeed lodge outside the mind ('It's a gut feeling, I feel it in my bones ..."). TFT is like a circuit breaker breaking the pattern in behaviours or feelings.   A sequined prescription of (self) tapings whilst thinking of the problem is prescribed, which breaks an impasse and dissolves problems in an uncomplicated and unobtrusive way.

Journey Therapy:  
"We are all diamonds in the rough."   This is a therapy where you unearth your emotional blocks to get to the core of who you are. This is done through a rich visualisation exercise.   Journey therapy also has a strong application as a complementary therapy to many physical illness suffered and works very well with children.

Counselling:  
Good objective listening is the basis of all counselling. This kind of listening of your situation can help you discover more about yourself; your strengths and weaknesses, values and priorities, and not only find you own solutions but also carry them out; to take some action for yourself.
