Quit Smoking

• Addictions of all types
  
• Problem Gambling
  
• Habits

Kate has designed a comprehensive, stop smoking program, adjusting it to suit the individual and their needs. Using hypnotherapy and counselling, Kate can help you to address the psychological addiction you have with your smoking habit. By addressing the subconscious reasons why you smoke, quiting will be a much more comfortable and successful process. Hypnotherapy has also been shown to greatly reduce the physical cravings you may go through in the initial stages of quiting. Other addiction based habits such as alcohol abuse, non-prescribed and prescribed drug abuse can also be worked through.

Issues with substance addiction and problem gambling, in particular poker machines, can be devastating financially and emotionally, often resulting in relationship breakdown. Reasons why can vary and may or may not be known to the individual. Identifying the underlying cause of the destructive behavior is crucial to healing. Hypnosis can help.

Unconscious habits such as nail biting can also be successfully worked on using these techniques.

Anxiety & Stress Reduction

• Phobias
  
• Obssesive/Compulsive
  
• Panic Attacks
  
• Depression
  
• Insomnia
  
• Anger Management

Hypnosis and counselling are used to successfully treat many anxiety based disorders.
Anxiety conditions are widely spread in the community although many sufferers isolate themselves feeling very alone. Unless someone has experienced deep-seated anxiety it can be very difficult to understand. Working to create change through the subconsious mind is a practical avenue to collapsing anxiety triggers.

Children's Issues

• Fears & Phobias
  
• Seperation Anxiety
  
• Bedwetting
  
• Nail Biting
  
• Confidence

Children respond very well to (waking) hypnosis and counselling. By utilising their rich imagination with fun exercisies, specifically designed activities and games we are able to anchor postive resources and create a platform for growth and development.

With very young children 5-12 years, we use 'waking hypnosis' using imagination through games incorporating appropriate language to facilitate change.

With older children 12-17 years, we incorporate light trance work and imagination to create positive change.

Healing Your Relationships

• Divorce/Seperation Support
  
• Jelousy
  
• Co-Dependence
  
• Grief
  
• Other emotional issues

Creating and maintaining positive connections with our friends and loved ones is a vital aspect to our well being and happiness. We all want to feel accepted and loved for who we truly are.

Negative emotions such as jelousy and insecurity or even feelings of obsession can cripple an individual emotionally, creating much difficulty in relationships with friends, family and lovers.
Perhaps we have formed unhealthy co-dependant connections that have stemmed from unhealthy patterns in childhood that we would like to heal and clear.

At times we may experience the loss of a loved one through death or divorce, hypnosis can help provide support through the natural greiving process.
