I am currently accepting new hypnotherapy and Reiki clients in a cozy space in Leith on Tuesdays.
In a world where information is all around us, we often find ourselves hunting for the right words to describe and define ourselves. Words tend to fall short of expressing our beautiful, complex inner worlds, which sometimes results in us hestitating to understand ourselves and others better. We're scared of saying 'the wrong thing'. In the LGBTQIA+ or queer community, for example, we know the value of self-expression and exploration in a safe, supportive environment when it comes to understanding our own gender / sexuality / place in the world. However, this self-exploration is important for everybody, regardless of their identity!

You may be someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, even if on the surface you appear to be coping. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and exhausted from trying to fit in, mange their emotions or push through anxiety, low mood, stress, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. You might be struggling with confidence, identity, or a harsh inner critic, and looking for a therapist who is relatable, authentic, and flexible in their approach — someone who can help you understand yourself more deeply and work with your strengths.

Sometimes it can be a real benefit to be able to explore your problems with someone outside of your family and friends ; like in a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space for yourself. You may be dealing with stress or anxiety, bereavement, work-place or relationship issues, or perhaps feeling a bit lost and isolated. This is when speaking to a Counsellor can help. Why not get in touch and we can discuss if we can work together?

You might be someone who looks like they’re coping—holding things together, supporting others—but inside, you feel anxious, shut down, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. You may have a history of childhood abuse, neglect, or sexual trauma, or just a sense that something from the past is still shaping how you feel now. You might struggle with trust, boundaries, or feeling safe in your own body. You want space to understand what’s going on, to feel less overwhelmed or numb, and to start making sense of what you’ve been through. You want to feel more connected to yourself and others—not fixed, but more whole.

Hypnotherapy Counsellors
How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a film, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behaviour change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognising a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself, so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotised?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotised. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotised may not respond to the technique because of their scepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviours like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
