Counselling is a collaborative, confidential process where you work with a qualified therapist. In a supportive and non-judgmental space, you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This process is a partnership, with the therapist guiding you to understand and navigate your experiences to foster growth and healing.

Think of your mind like a garden. The conscious thoughts and feelings you're aware of are the plants above the soil. The deeper roots—unconscious patterns, core beliefs, and past experiences—are hidden beneath the surface, influencing everything that grows. Life's challenges can tangle these roots or allow weeds to take over, affecting your overall well-being.

Counselling provides the tools and the safe environment to tend to this garden. Your therapist acts as a skilled gardener, helping you gently explore beneath the surface. Together, you identify the tangled roots, understand their origin, and carefully nurture the soil. This process allows you to uproot unhelpful patterns and cultivate new, healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others.

You know that feeling when you’re driving a familiar route and arrive without remembering the journey? Or when you’re drifting off to sleep, awake but not quite?

You're in a natural, everyday trance, a relaxed, focused brainwave state.

When you’re in this state, the busy, critical part of your mind quiets down. This allows your subconscious, which holds your habits, emotions, and deeper beliefs to become more open to positive, helpful suggestions.

Think of your mind like a smartphone. Your conscious mind is the screen, it’s what you see, tap and use. Your subconscious mind is the powerful processor hidden software code that make everything on the screen work.

Sometimes, old apps or outdated code (like a fear, a limiting belief, or a bad habit) can slow the phone down or cause glitches. Clinical Hypnotherapy helps you go into "developer mode", a deeply relaxed, focused state, where you can access and update that underlying code with new, efficient, positive programming.
