Empower me programme
How I work with clients
I work with adults (18+) who suffer from stress, anxiety, alcohol problems, eating issues and phobias. I treat all my clients with respect, compassion and understanding. At the free consultation session we discuss your needs and expectations. This is an opportunity for you to meet me and ask questions. The first session is focused on your issues and their cause. I create a safe environment for you to talk about problems you may be facing in your life. Based on the gathered information I discuss with you a therapeutic approach and support I offer between sessions. The first session always concludes with hypnosis tailored to your personal needs. In between sessions you can listen to a hypnotherapy script which I will record for you. I may also offer other tools to help you with your specific problems. We also stay in touch by email or phone between our sessions.
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy for Stress and Anxiety
Stress, anxiety and depression are common reactions to challenges we may face at any stage of life. They can look a lot alike, but there are distinct differences. Stress is a response to daily pressures or a threatening situation, while anxiety is a reaction to the stress. Anxiety, which has no clear cause, tends to last longer and be more difficult to treat. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy targets the underlying causes of your worries and fears – not just the symptoms. It will challenge your irrational thoughts, so you can identify how your behaviour is impacting on your life and causing difficulties. This method of treatment is designed specifically for your personal symptoms.
Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness Based programme for Weight Management
Weight management is not about dieting - it is about replacing unwanted habits with healthy eating habits. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy sessions encourage you to recognise your your thoughts and behaviours and modify your behaviours to successfully change your relationship with food and changing unwanted habits to positive habits. Since I created the Empower Me programme I have successfully helped my clients to lose weight and learn how to maintain a healthy diet , change eating habits and feel better about their body shape.
Empower Me
Change your relationship with food to live a healthy life
Empower me programme is for everyone who wants to take control, have a healthy relationship with food and stay healthy. If you want to lose weight, stop binge eating, change your diet to a healthy one, feel good about your body and yourself - this programme is definitely for you.
The programme combines awareness skills developed through mindfulness, self-reliance building skills through hypnotherapy and building goal focused mindset through coaching. You will learn to convert negative thoughts into powerful thinking, how to use Emotional Freedom Technique to manage cravings and how to exercise to improve your metabolism and release endorphins.
Each week you will have 1-hour, one-to-one online coaching or hypnotherapy session, get access to online video and audio material for you to practice by yourself, which includes mindfulness meditations, online workouts and mindful eating skills. You will also get access to my online workouts: Vinyasa Yoga, Mindful Pilates, Body Strength workouts, dance and many more.
At the end of the programme, depending on your progress and wish, you may sign up for further coaching sessions to support you to maintain your progress towards your goals. The frequency of these would depend on what you want to achieve.

Hypnotherapy 1:1 sessions
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is based on an idea that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all connected and influence one another. For example: if I am feeling sad I might have feelings that nobody likes me and I decide to stay all day in bed and cry (behaviours). If I am feeling happy, I may have thoughts like: “life is beautiful” so I want to enjoy it and go to the cinema with my friends (behaviour).
If we can pause and identify our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, we might learn important information that could help us moving forward. For example, some of the thoughts I experienced that went along with my feeling sad were thinking that I was alone and out of step with most of my friends. The behaviours that went along with my feeling sad were staying in my apartment, not initiating with my friends, and not picking up the phone when someone called me.
I have used successfully used CBH to help clients to overcome addiction, stress, anxiety and weight management.

Hypnosis is a naturally happening state of focussed attention, and you usually feel deeply relaxed.
In hypnosis we’re not normally asleep but we may feel sleepy. When you are in hypnosis your subconscious mind allows you take on board positive thoughts and ideas easily. When your eyes are closed, you are in a different state of consciousness than when your eyes are open. You enter a different and receptive realm of awareness.
The moment your eyes close, you immediately cut down on many external stimuli and distractions. You become aware of different inputs. Simply by closing your eyes, it becomes easier to avoid the usual barriers and needless defences. Do you have any questions about hypnosis?
Quit 4 Life Smoking Cessation Therapy
It proves to be more effective than any other therapy in helping you stop smoking; usually effective with just two sessions.
Quit 4 Life is a national service that is the culmination of over 10 years of research and experimentation.
It combines cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused hypnotherapeutic approaches.
If you have decided you want to quit, or you have already stopped and want support, this therapy can make the vital difference in helping you believe you can succeed and giving you the confidence to do so.
Mindfulness Now Programme for stress and anxiety
The Mindfulness Now programme offers an integrated / eclectic approach to mindfulness meditation. I work with individuals and groups with many requirements including helping with physical and emotional pain, stress and anxiety, as well as building emotional resilience. Mindfulness Now programme offers a psycho-educational fusion of mindfulness-based approaches, including the evidence-based Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
Through this programme, you will reduce stress, increase resilience, and bring day-to-day experiences of life to another level where you are present, confident, and compassionate.
By training to pay attention to your mind, body, and emotions in a different way, you can step into a place of choice—a place of power to design your life and open your heart.
Bringing meditation and mindfulness to your daily life is a playful adventure, and a gift for yourself and everyone around you.
