About Trauma and PTSD

Trauma has its roots in a harrowing event – such as being involved in a tragic incident, a violent crime or a challenging military operation.  Whatever the traumatic event, it can set off a range of extreme emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, hurt or guilt. For some people this can manifest as PTSD.

The event may play on your mind at random or when a specific ‘trigger’ takes you back to that moment. Alleviating PTSD symptoms often means talking to a psychiatrist or someone who specialises in talking therapy (such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – CBT).

An alternative approach is hypnotherapy. It is much quicker than many other kinds of therapy – with positive results sometimes seen in just a few sessions. Importantly, it directly targets the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response (based in a part of the brain called the amygdala) which goes into overdrive when traumatic memories surface.

Unlike psychology and CBT, however, there’s no endless talking about the issue – which can be very painful. Hypnotherapy for trauma – which uses revolutionary tools such as Havening – is focused on giving the mind an alternative, gentler response when confronted by memories. This dramatic change can often be achieved in just a few sessions.

How can hypnotherapy help you to overcome trauma and PTSD?

When you work with me, you will be working with a trained specialist who will work with you to help you deal with the traumatic events that are holding you back.

Following an initial consultation – which is free – we will ask you to do some preparatory work so that your time with us can be designed specifically for you, based on what you have experienced in the past and where you want to be in the future.

Treating PTSD using hypnosis starts with working through the event or events that have contributed to you feeling how you do. Then, we will use some powerful techniques that can enable you to let go of negative thoughts and emotions such as anger, sadness and guilt.

Working on your emotions and your mindset

We will work with you to explore your emotional reactions to certain situations and also on any limiting mindsets and negative internal self-talk you endure, such as, “I’m not good enough.”

We may work through beliefs such as “it’s always going to be like this” and alter them to newer, healthier ones.

In essence, this approach is highly effective as hypnotherapy works by helping you to change the response to the traumatic event that continues to haunt you.

Why choose me as your hypnotherapist

I became a hypnotherapist because of a life-changing hypnotherapy session of my own in 2006. This helped me to re-find myself and discover new hope.

So, whatever you’re feeling now, I’ve been in a similar place.

Experience

I am an expert at dealing with trauma and have completed more than 5,000 sessions of hypnotherapy.

Chemistry

I only work with clients that I believe I can help, want to help and have a good chemistry with.

Speed

Most clients need just two sessions to see a significant improvement. This is quicker than virtually any other therapist.

Reassurance

I am one of the UK’s most reviewed therapists. More than 90% of clients give me a 5-star review.

Trust

Before I saw my very first client, a decade ago, I had completed more than 1,000 hours of training. Unfortunately, anyone can call themselves a therapist without any training. Do not put your mental health in the hands of amateurs.

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?

The first thing we’ll do is have a complimentary exploratory phone call, lasting up to 20 minutes. During this, you’ll have chance to talk to me about what’s going on, for me to answer your questions and make sure we’re a good fit.

Before your actual session, you’ll fill in a detailed questionnaire that will help me understand your history and patterns of being affected by trauma. This allows me to tailor your treatment plan and ensures that the time you spend in the session itself is used as effectively as possible.

Over the course of your 90-minute session, you will feel calm and in control, and I’ll use a combination of the most effective modern and classic hypnotherapeutic tools and techniques.

How to book your hypnotherapy session

Hopefully, you now feel reassured about the hypnotherapy process – and feel ready to take the next step to let go of trauma and PTSD. Whether you are looking for a hypnotherapist in London, in Winchester or for an online session, my highly professional approach means that, in most cases, you’ll need only a single session or a couple of sessions to be better.

Each session will be 90-minutes long. This means we achieve so much more than you can in the traditional 50-minute ‘therapy hour’ that most therapists provide. For many clients, online hypnotherapy sessions are the quickest and easiest way to address a specific problem and to get the treatment they need.
