Welcome. I am so happy to meet you here. It is my joy to support others to discover their own resources to heal and live a fully-embodied life through inquiry-based hypnotherapy and the cultivation of self compassion and deep mindful awareness.
 

Private Sessions


Supporting you in discovering your own wisdom

In private sessions, you will be given a conscious and deeply supportive space to turn your attention inwards so you can find your own innate awareness and wisdom. You will be supported to use these resources to bring profound clarity and freedom to areas of your life where you have experienced physical, emotional, mental or situational limitation. The only thing needed for this work to be effective is a readiness to take a good honest look at whatever seems to be holding you back. In the willingness to stay present and tell the truth about what is arising, it is possible to clearly see (and let go of) your own patterns that are keeping you 'stuck'. Truly these sessions are about supporting you from wherever you find yourself to be. We will use a mix of trauma-informed modalities including cultivating mindful and compassionate awareness, enneagram coaching, counselling and clinical hypnotherapy and guided self-inquiry to allow you to discover your own ability to heal, as well as your own capacity for clarity, peace and freedom.

Some common topics include:

skillfully using the enneagram as a tool for self inquiry and self awareness

regulating anxiety, stress and depression

working with anger and reactivity

wanting to feel more fully embodied/safe/present in your body

freedom from the grip of unworthiness

releasing trauma

attending to grief with compassion and awareness

finding peace in unresolved issues with others alive or who have passed

truth, intimacy and integrity in relationships

conscious parenting - finding authentic freedom and joy with your children

discovering unconditional self love

being fully at peace with your body/food

releasing addictions

trusting yourself in decision-making/life purpose

chronic pain/illness

concussion symptoms

discovering the truth of yourself beyond your egoic identity
