MODALITIES
HOLISTIC COUNSELLING
Using psychological counselling and psychotherapy, we will explore your thoughts and feelings safely and manageably. We use a wide range of different processes from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, NLP, Gestalt, Psychodrama, Journeywork, Energy Psychology and elsewhere, to map out your problems, educate where useful, identify and understand the patterns and causes, and effect deep change and healing at the level of consciousness. These approaches provide the foundation for all personal development work.
CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY
When you close your eyes, you immediately step out of the limited intellectual mind, and access the strengths and wisdom of your unconscious mind. However, just as in daydreaming, you are always awake and always in control. In hypnotherapy, you are able to avail upon the enormous healing wisdom that resides within you. If our wonderful rational mind is aware of only ten percent (at best) of what is going on internally and externally, our subconscious mind is the powerhouse that has access to the other ninety percent. While using many of the techniques shared with counselling, their effectiveness is increased exponentially, as we use the language of your imagination rather than the limited thoughts of our cognitive mind. We work together to resolve problems where they mostly reside, hidden deep within your subconscious mind.
SPIRITUAL HYPNOTHERAPY
When we relax very deeply, to brainwave levels just above sleep, we can access memories that go beyond this current lifetime. Past Life Regression can allow us to resolve patterns and issues that were not created in your current life, but have carried over from previous incarnations. There is also tremendous therapeutic value in experiencing yourself beyond the limitations of your current body and personality, as it allows a ‘knowing’ of your immortal identity.
Life Between Lives hypnotherapy takes you even deeper into soul-state, to experience yourself in your existence in the spirit worlds. This is our truest self, in our ‘real’ home, as incarnations are only temporary adventures in embodied growth and learning. If you would like further information, Dr. Michael Newton, one of the pioneers of this work, has an excellent website: www.spiritualregression.org

TESTIMONIALS
“After thirteen years of personal development courses, meditation and reading books to find out why I sometimes got depressed, James built on those and, within a few sessions, helped me get to the core of my issues. Life has never been this good”
“He has been a tower of strength to me, providing the persistence and determination to overcome my demons. Using psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, James helped me with my insecurities and lack of confidence. I now lead the happier and healthier life which I so longed for”
“Thank you so much for the beautiful Life Between Lives session the other day. I am still taking in the awareness and guidance that came from connecting so deeply with my own soul, and look forward to listening to the recording. You have certainly helped me to awaken my spiritual life”
“ James helped me to unravel many key life skills that I possessed yet never fully realised, and also assisted me in developing strategies to help me continue to maintain the healthy and honest relationship I have with my partner. I strongly recommend his guidance and counselling”
“ When I first attended Awaken, I was depressed and on medication. I was seriously abusing alcohol and my marriage was suffering. My children couldn’t understand why dad was so angry all the time. Now, with the help of James and Awaken, I have a strong, happy relationship with my family, am off medication, am fit and healthy, and taking my business into a new and exciting growth direction. James Hands and Awaken have literally saved my life”
