My ideal client? Someone who is ready to make a shift, things have gotten to a point they are ready to try a different way. Then we do a little work and Vamoosh! the problem has gone away. They come for habits like smoking, or counselling clients who have just got the wrong end of the stick about something and once they've figured it out they know what to do. Most of my clients though, are in much messier situations, with conflicting needs, and no simple solutions. And I like working with them too, because that's down in the muck of life. That's the real stuff and it's a privilege to be with them.
I'm a psychotherapist (Masters in Gestalt) and a Clinical Hypnotherapist, so I focus on two approaches. The first is 'person centred' which means I am led by you in our sessions: learning what you want, what's getting in the way, and how to get shift it. The second is working with your deeper mind, helping you to access its wisdom and recode old patterns.
Please feel free to ask me questions about my approach. They say a good session has laughter and tears. Maybe that's a little simplistic but I would hope you find in me someone who can help you explore all sides of the stories you carry, in a way that allows you to hold them more lightly.

How I work with clients depends on what they come for. For smoking cessation I do a two-session quit using hypnosis. I also use hypnosis for weight loss, phobias and to disconnect emotions from traumatic events. For anxiety and depression I lean more into Gestalt psychotherapy. Some clients like to talk it out, others enjoy techniques like the empty chair and embodying emotions to explore them.
