How I help
Creating and holding open, safe, accepting space for the answers to emerge. Keeping guard for any emerging resistance or blocks to change. Asking revealing questions to bring awareness to any areas that would benefit from your attention and fresh evaluation.
What if being in trance could be defined as not being present here and now? What if every time we are accessing our past or serenading our future we are stepping out of here and now into a state of trance, while our subconscious takes over all functioning for us? Even though we tend to think we are fully conscious and in control while awake, often we look back at our behaviour and feel it happened to us, with little or no influence from us.
What if automatic behavioural patterns run in a state of trance induced by the unconscious, which assesses the best option in a given moment when we are not fully present here and now? What would then be required is to break the trance of the pattern by ‘de-hypnotising’ you from an unhelpful state, so you can retain control of your feelings and actions in situations where you could not do so before.
Talking about patterns you may wish to change sends you into a trance-like state. I work with your natural trance state to guide you with questions and techniques so you can re-evaluate and make changes required to release yourself from the grip of your old programmed pattern. You remain in control and in charge of any changes in that process. You come to realisation for yourself what to do. The credit for success is entirely yours.
Past
Establishing and connecting past event(s) that initiatied the programming of the pattern.
Present
Knowing the limiting pattern, what triggers it, how it plays out, its consequences.
Future
What is the ideal solution?
Clarifying what would it be like if the old pattern did not play out any more.
Feelings & Emotions
Feelings and emotions drive all repetitive thinking and are the fuel behind any motives. Learning techniques for coping, managing and disolving feelings & emotions.
Thoughts
What if we do not have to think to exist? Creative thinking is pleasent and useful. Repetitive, compulsive thinking is unhelpful and unpleasent. Learning techniques for managing and dealing with repetitive thoughts using focus and awareness.
Intentions
Intentions give direction and drive. Intensions are interlinked with emotions. Gaining clarity on how to harness the power of intention.
Conscious Mind
Awareness animates conscious state of being. One can be conscious but not present – like in a trance (watching tv, daydreaming, acting out a pattern) – this often is colloquially referred to as unconscious. However, in such cases you are fully awake and can be easily brought back to being present.
Analytical Mind
This is the “gate keeper” between conscious and unconscious mind. At its peak the brain operates in beta brainwaves, relying on known, past memories and facts. To access the unconscious we need to lower brainwaves to alpha (daydreaming) or theta (twilight), where we are more present, alert, open to wonder and experiencing the unknown: open to a new suggestion.
Unconscious Mind
This is the area where our automatic responses/programms operate from. It is a library of our past and appears to have everything from the story of our life recorded and available for recall as required. It can be referred to as subconscious mind. Bringing awareness to a part of the unconscious animates it to become the conscious mind. It brings clarity to what we may wish to change.

Principles
Working from your model of the world
I align my skills with your beliefs. I work in a way that is flexible and provides for your way of thinking and being in the world. I use your unique way of experiencing your problem, and the patterns within your mind that cause that problem, to guide you towards your creative best possible solution.
Tailored, bespoke hypnotic scripts
I create suggestions aimed at your unconscious in a way that is unique to you. I believe that trance is an everyday occurrence. 90% of our choices and actions stem from being in a trance-like state, facilitated by your unconscious mind. I work with both the conscious and unconscious to ensure long-term success.
Never going over and over your memories of the past
I work with you on past events only if I believe we can change the way your mind responds to them now and in the future – this is based on the theory of reconsolidation.
Empowering you to thrive beyond therapy
I help you develop belief that you have control over the outcome of events in your life, that there are no external forces beyond your control. You are then able to recognise that you have everything you need to determine your response to life events in a way that is useful.
Beliefs
Emotions
Our feelings and emotions fuel our thoughts. They are the language of the body. Problems need addressing at the emotional level.
Positive Intention
All behaviour has a positive intention. We are doing the best we can with what we have available at that moment.
Gratitude
Appreciation is the quickest way to move towards a solution.
Free will
The Power to Change Ourselves. I am willing to change.
Thoughts
Language of the brain. Electric. Thoughts come and go. With intention/desire, we set our brain to tune in and pick up thoughts that confirm and develop our intention. It then allows for ideas to be implemented in reality.
We are Complete
People have everything they need to solve their issues.
Possibility
There are infinite number of options. A door in a wall can open at any time.
Acceptance
We can allow things to be as they are without compromising our calling, purpose, desire to achieve. We then focus on moving around roadblocks instead of fighting with them.
Independence
The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you become in charge of how you respond to life.

Affection
Higher love, unconditional love, the power of love over the love of power, the living force behind our creation, this is an ever-present, empowering, enabling force.
Trust
In an ever changing world we trust in our own values and beliefs. We occasionally lean on others, while we trust in ourselves, thus allowing others and ourselves to change.
Being Yourself
Being confident that you are the right person to be you. How you see the world is unique and offers something only you can bring to this world.
Trance
Trance is an everyday phenomenon present in every problem and an aid to the solution.
Attention
It is the greatest gift you have to give. It is our energetic currency and we pay with it. Attention is the basis for intense listening allowing to hear the other, rather than just waiting to speak your mind.
Concentration
An Art and act of will power, fuelled by intense desire, that can harness the awareness and hold it at a single-pointed focus of your choice.
