Often unspoken about is

Paralysis which can be a common feature of trauma and anxiety and is a key area of my interest and work.
If you are here, you are looking for a way to understand your feelings. Our emotions can be challenging, but they provide essential information about who we are in our world. Conflicts, confusion and anxiety often indicate internal struggles with our congruence, that we are out of harmony with what we want and what we are doing. Understanding these driving forces can relieve this anxiety; a deeper understanding of yourself can restore that balance. I am here to listen to the challenges that you face. As a hypnotherapist and counsellor, I use a mixture of tools to help you work through and understand how you feel.

Steve Horrocks Hypnotherapy
I regularly see clients who are suffering from anxiety,
sleep
problems, chronic pain, weight issues, stress & worries, IBS, fears & phobias, low mood, emotional issues or PTSD/traumatic memories. People work with me when they haven't been able to free themselves of these issues completely, or at least regain the quality of life they want, through their own efforts or with the assistance of other therapies. Often they feel that they are battling with themselves - and what they want is to find a caring & knowledgeable guide who will help them draw on their own inner resources to experience life differently.

Going through a crisis in your life can be very scary and the idea of taking up counselling to cope with it can be a daunting one. This is often surrounded by the mystery of what to expect from the counselling. There are many reasons why you might want to see a counsellor: You may be facing a life-changing event that has created a shock or grief; You may be experiencing feelings of depression, isolation, and possibly low self-esteem; You may be suffering from feelings of anxiety, without understanding why; There may be events from your past that are preventing you from living your life in the way you would like to.

I am a BACP registered person-centred counsellor and counselling supervisor. I work with young people and adults - age from 11 years old and up. I aim to offer a confidential, safe space and a non-judgemental supportive relationship, hopefully helping you to explore and gain understanding of why you may feel the way you do. This sometimes can mean reviewing and working through past influences and life events and how they may be affecting you in the present. This self-exploration can be an opportunity for personal development and growth, bringing about positive changes in how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to others.

I believe that mental health difficulties are meaningful and understandable reactions to painful life events and situations, and so these are best treated with compassion, curiosity and respect. In this way, we may not only overcome problems, but gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our values, leading to a more balanced, fulfilling and enjoyable life. With a warm, caring approach to creating safe and reflective relationships, I can offer brief, focused therapy to build coping skills and overcome specific problems, or more in-depth work to build insight and release ingrained ways of being.

In these uncertain times we are all feeling anxious and that is completely normal, however if these feelings are overwhelming please contact me. Acceptance and speaking to someone may help to understand how to manage these emotions. Or maybe you need a safe place, space and time to reflect on your life. Counselling and psychotherapy could help you to understand and make sense of the world and also recognize your behavior patterns and let go of the old patterns; ‘If you always do the same things in the same way, you will also get what you have always got!’ I am doing session via Zoom, facetime, skype or what ever is best for you.

Where does your inner voice come from? It is helpful? Does it seem to have different agendas depending on the situation? Does it have different voices/tones/strength depending on what you are about to do? Does it taunt you or tempt you? Is it helping you or making you miss out on things? We all carry echoes of our past, for some they are automatic and just 'known' ways to behave/be. For others they can sabotage us, they are no longer helping us. Let's talk about negative thoughts, intrusive thoughts, those thoughts that slide in when you are minding your own business to side swipe you with doubts or temptation.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
