Introduction:
Being that my creed is "Wellness Begins in the Mind", it makes sense that I work primarily with the emotional & psychological causes that create distress, unwanted behaviours, thoughts & feelings, or illnesses for an individual. You know how it is ... on one hand you really want to do something about your problem, but on the other hand, there seems to be a part of you preventing you from achieving this? That's because your subconscious "driver" as I call it, is far more powerful than your conscious will power, so no matter how much you may want to change an unwanted behaviour, thought or feeling, you are "sabotaged" by your subconscious "driver" which believes something different. Clinical Hypnotherapy will allow you to access this subconscious part of your mind to change those things you want to change, so that the new behaviours, thoughts & feelings are in line with what you have decided you want to do consciously. Once the subconscious mind has altered it's behaviours, thoughts & feelings, to more appropriate ones, cognitive behavioural therapy through Professional Counselling can be employed to allow your conscious mind or rational ability to work effectively with those changes. It is a wonderful combination of modalities to effect permanent change both consciously & subconsciously.
Personal Profile:
In late 1997, just one year after attaining my Professional Diplomas in 1996, I became the first non-medically trained Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in Medical Hypnosis, endorsed by the International Medical & Dental Hypnotherapy Association, to be accredited into the Private Hospital system in Australia. Over the following years, I worked in one of Sydney's major Private Hospitals & Medical Clinics, specialising extensively in pain & stress management, consulting with people needing help with specific medical challenges & procedures. At the same time, I continued to maintain a busy private practice, helping individuals deal effectively with non-medical challenges; finding solutions to self sabotaging thoughts, ideas, behaviours & feelings, leading to control of negativity & therefore peace of mind. Self empowerment is the goal ... change, is the key to achieving that goal!
It may be of interest to know however, that Clinical Hypnotherapy has many varied applications. One of the exciting applications now becoming more & more popular for women, is in the area of pregnancy & childbirth. In recent times, I have designed & registered a hypnotherapy method, specifically for pregnancy & childbirth. It is called EzyBIRTH(R). It's wonderful to discover that all those concerns about pregnancy symptoms, discomfort can be dissolved, simply by learning & using this method of hypnosis training. As a woman, you can have a relaxed, symptom & worry free pregnancy & a comfortable ... YES, comfortable childbirth experience. If you so choose to share your experience with a partner or a coach, you can invite that person along to share in the learning, so when the time comes to give birth, you have someone with you, who is fully aware of your needs.
In the area of weight loss through hypnotherapy, the recent worldwide interest in Virtual Gastric Banding is gaining momentum. Currently in the UK, there are clinical trials being conducted to confirm the success rate of this amazing new hypnotherapy technique. So far, it would appear that there is a 95% success rate! I am fully trained & registered in the Virtual Gastric Band technique & am happy to discuss this with you. Just contact me for further information!
About Hypnosis, it's Benefits & Dispelling Myths:
When my clients first come in to see me, they often tell me that their view of hypnosis is very often associated with television or stage images of hypnotists looking mystical, changing people into clucking chickens or hula dancers on the snap of the hypnotists fingers, or touch on a shoulder. I explain that entertainment is just one area in which hypnosis can be used.
In the situation of Clinical or Medical Hypnotherapy however, hypnosis is used to challenge & facilitate change for a person's problems or difficulties.
The problems which can be benefited by the use of Clinical or Medical Hypnotherapy are numerous - most of you reading this, may be able to recognise one, or more, of these problem areas in yourself ....
Stress, Anxiety, Health issues (like high blood pressure, weight gain or loss, illnesses chronic or acute), Pain (including headaches, illness, childbirth), Catastrophic illness management, Addictions (like smoking, alcohol, gambling etc), Habits (like nail biting, teeth grinding etc), Fears & Phobias (such as heights, water, insects, creatures, injections), Insomnia, Lack of Self-Confidence, Low Self-Esteem, Lack of Desire or Motivation, Worry, Poor Concentration & Memory, Trauma (past & present), Personal Issues of all kinds.
