Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is recognised as the most effective of the talking therapies in remedying certain mental health problems. This therapy is based upon the idea that certain ways of thinking trigger or worsen mental health problems, including addictions, obesity, depression, stress, anxiety and phobias and obsessive-compulisve disorder (OCD). This form of therapy assists the client in identifying harmful, inaccurate or unhelpful thoughts which can then affect the mood and behaviour and helping them to reshape them into more forgiving and realistic ones until they replace the old ones, in order to get well again. This method can be brief and usually involves 'homework' between sessions such as keeping a thought diary and practicing different ways of behaving.

Hypnosis can be used either on its own or as an addition to the work by this licensed hypnotherapist.
Hypnosis works very well with therapy in permitting new beliefs, thoughts and therefore behaviours to be more readily accepted by the client's usually more critical, conscious mind. |
