How I Can Help You

I can help with the cognitive and behavioural difficulties with the aim of restoring a sense of safety and protection.

Using hypnotherapy, I work with you to help you understand and adapt to your fears. I help you re-establish a sense of order to show your brain that your life still has continuity and meaning.

We will try to develop a daily routine as much as possible in order to allow you to maintain a sense of security. I can also help you with sleep difficulties and anger management. Helping you regain a sense of confidence and self-esteem will be at the core of our work.

In a calm, relaxing and professional environment, I help you bring about permanent changes in your attitudes so that you gain confidence again, losing your fears, doubts and insecurities. As part of our work, I also include an element of NLP to increase its effectiveness. At all times during our work you will remain in full control and will decide when and where to direct our sessions.

Every one of my clients is unique and my work with you is tailored to meet your needs. I can support and reassure you, give you the skills you need to help you become a better you.
