My Approach to Helping
If you need support with your daily life I can help. I work with all types of conditions, and disorders to do with mental health. I specialise (not exclusively) in working with people who need support with anxiety i.e., posttraumatic stress (PTSD), depression, stress, and much more. We will discuss your life, your wants, and your ideal outcome. I have three therapy tools to help. I have experience in psychology, psychotherapy, psychopathology, and hypnotherapy so you're in safe hands. Let me help you be the person you want to be and live the best life possible. Together we will improve your quality of life. Call me today and receive 247 support.
My solution-focused approach to therapy is modern and evidence-based. It actively encourages focus on the positive aspects of life. I am qualified in various treatments including hypnotherapy, solution-focused brief therapy (talk therapy), and brain-working recursive therapy. These approaches improve quality of life and help you to live a fulfilled life.
I am a disabled veteran and a wheelchair user who was diagnosed with PTSD since being discharged from the military (army). I empathise with veterans, disabled-able adults, and children as I have the knowledge and life experience. I am married and have an older son and a grandchild. I had to rebuild my life and I will help you do the same. Call me today.
More Info About My Practice
I work with adults and children, face-to-face and online, who struggle with depression, trauma, grief, and more. During our initial sessions, we will delve into the issues at hand. Together we will create a plan for addressing these in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
In the first sessions, we will explore what brought you to therapy to decide the most appropriate way forward. I often combine solution-focused brief therapy which is a talking therapy with solution-focused hypnotherapy to alleviate stress and anxiety by putting you in a trance-like state. In extreme cases, I use brain-working recursive therapy by taking away the emotion from the traumatic image or getting rid of the image altogether.
I have 20 years of experience becoming a psychologist, psychotherapist, and hypnotherapist. I have two doctorates and three diplomas. I have trained in solution-focused brief therapy and solution-focused hypnotherapy and am one of two UK psychologists trained in brain-working recursive therapy.
How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
I have struggled. I brought up in a single parent family. We had very little which caused a lot of stress especially my mother who I love deeply and without her I would not of got as far as I have. I have dyslexia, ADHD, I was diagnosed with PTSD after leaving the military, I have OCD. I was abused at 14 years old by a police woman on a weekly basis. I have been bankrupt due to my business going bust and I lost everything and rebuilt. I have been in politics. I have done many things in life and made many mistakes which also ended me up in an army jail twice.
I have the experience to change your well-being and overall quality of life. Call me for a free consultation.
