Hypnotherapy, hypnosis, life-dynamic counselling and relationship counselling
in Bristol and Taunton

Fill your life with
emotional happiness and
loving relationships

Welcome to my website. I offer hypnotherapy, life-dynamic counselling and relationship counselling in Bristol and Taunton to help you with issues and crises of all kinds, small and major.

My work is different. Those who come to me for help have often been to other hypnotherapists, counsellors or psychotherapists, sometimes even several. But again and again my clients tell me that I am the first person who has actually helped them.

That's not just because of my broad-spectrum experience in therapies ranging from hypnosis to emotional release. It's because of the depth and experience I bring to my work from thirty years of my own intensive exploration and personal journey. It's given me a very wide perspective on what actually works. I know how much people's lives can change, and don't want anyone to settle for less.

With the right approach, it is often possible for a relatively short number of sessions (depending on the issue) to initiate the process of change that you need.

My work is an invitation to discover that you are magic. It's an invitation to discover that within you, you have hidden treasures which will enable you to solve whatever problem faces you. That within you, you have the ability to live life calmly and wisely, with strength and tenderness, with love and joy, achieving far more, and feeling far happier, than you might have ever imagined possible.

I'm expert and intuitive at finding the place inside each person where each one of us strong, loveable, at peace, and OK.

I work with whatever life is throwing at you, minor or major. I integrate a wide range of methods: hypnotherapy, hypnosis, family constellation, EFT, emotional release, male-female balancing, hypno-analysis and others.

In particular, I have specialised programmes using hypnosis and hypnotherapy in Bristol and Taunton for stress, weight and eating, smoking, insomnia, panics, fears and phobias, depression and confidence.

One day, you'll look back and see your problem left behind. To do that, you have to take a first step forward. To make an appointment, or to find out how I can help you, please just ring and speak to me directly. I'm happy to talk. 0845 3510604 / 0117-968-7307. Begin changing your life today!

Hypnotherapy and hypnosis

Hypnosis is an easy, relaxed state. If you just close your eyes and think of something delightful - a flower, your favourite food, someone you love - for a full two minutes, you are entering hypnosis. (Try it.) Many common preconceptions of hypnosis are quite wrong.

No-one imposes their will on you. You aren't required to "lose control."
You are not asleep or "gone". You are present and you know what is going on. It's quite like lying half-asleep in a deckchair.
You remember normally.

Hypnosis is relaxing and 100% safe, but not in itself therapeutic. Hypnotherapy is therapy using hypnosis to help re-programme the unconsious mind. (FAQ on hypnosis). Over 10,000 scientific research papers testify to the effects, causes or benefits of hypnotherapy. It is the most research-validated form of complementary therapy;

Life-dynamic counselling

Many websites suggest that hypnotherapy is the best or only type of therapy. It isn't. Life-dynamic counselling is my collective term for the non-hypnotherapy/hypnosis techniques I use, including ones I've developed myself. See my Consumer's Guide to different types of psychotherapy for more information.

Relationship counselling and relationship coaching

Sometimes, relating is painful, true intimacy may be challenging, and deciding whether to stay or go is not so clear. In relationship counselling and relationship coaching I work with the whole person to help reconnect with love, trust, confidence, sexual pleasure, assertion, independence and joy. I integrate work for emotions, communication, thinking patterns, behaviours and individual healing. I work with singles or one partner (often one is enough) or both and with all phases of relating - finding a partner, deepening the relationship, finding commitment, and if necessary with separating and recovering.

Don't put up with feeling down - do something about it. To make an appointment, or to find out how I can help you, please just ring and speak to me directly. I'm happy to talk. 0845 3510604 / 0117-968-7307. Begin changing your life today!
