Counselling

Counselling is a therapeutic process of expanding self-awareness. This means getting to know your intimate thoughts, feelings and perceptions in order to uncover and transform unconscious beliefs, patterns or blocks, moving to empowerment and effectively creating what you want in life. As we all have our own way of being, relating and expressing, counselling is a unique experience for each individual.

We seek out counselling for many reasons. Sometimes we need objective support to help us experience a specific event that creates unwanted and/or sudden change. Or, we have childhood or adult trauma (known or unknown) that prevents us from fully living or reaching our potential in life. And, at other times, we find ourselves with the urge to explore our dreams and desires enhancing personal or professional growth.

What we work on, and towards, will affect the length of the therapeutic process. For example, if we are working on healing life long patterns, it may take years before we feel complete with counselling, while four or five sessions may be enough to assist in a specific issue, or simply help through the crisis point. For personal growth, we may seek out counselling on and off throughout our entire life.

Hypnotherapy

As we travel through life, there are times when we find it difficult to bring awareness of our patterns to our consciousness, or, we come to an impasse or reach a plateau and feel unable to move forward. Hypnotherapy is an extremely useful tool for reaching the unconscious at these times, bringing light to the unknown, as well as connecting us to our inner strength and resources.

Hypnotherapy is also useful when healing extreme past trauma. It allows us to integrate the past traumatic experiences piece by piece, at our own pace, thus creating a safe and gentle process.

Going into trance is a natural human experience. Day dreaming, times of contemplation or meditation are examples of a trance experience. I will facilitate your unique trance process by inducing a state of deep relaxation while gently making respectful suggestions. Or, more interactively, I will join you in your journey of self-exploration using guided imagery and visualization.
