Low Self Esteem
We all experience a lack of confidence at times in our life. However, if low self-esteem is becoming an issue, or may have been a problem for a while, it can start to have a negative impact on your mental health and your day to day living. Low confidence and low self-esteem means that we feel negatively about ourselves and sometimes our lives. As a result, our resilience is low and we may feel unable to take on all the stresses and challenges that life throws at us. Often low self confidence and low self esteem comes via messages either from ourselves or others, that we are not good enough or are unable to live up to imposed expectations. If your negative beliefs are causing you hide away from social situations or stopping your from trying new things or challenging yourself, this could be what you need. Over the course of 6 sessions you will learn, practise and develop long lasting skills and techniques to overcome the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are holding you back. From £405

Fears and Phobias
Fears and phobias are related but distinct experiences. Fear is a natural and adaptive response to a real or perceived threat, helping to keep us safe by triggering a "fight or flight" response. Common fears include; fear of heights, fear of spiders, fear of public speaking, fear of confined spaces, fear of flying. Phobias are intense, irrational fears of specific objects or situations that lead to avoidance and significant distress. Phobias can interfere with daily life and are considered anxiety disorders. People who have specific phobias may experience anxiety, panic attacks, and avoidance behaviours when they encounter some of those listed above or even just think about them. Phobias do not seem to have a single cause, but there are a number of associated factors. During our sessions, we identify the key factors that are causing you to be fearful considering particular triggers and maintaining behaviours. Please note, I do not practice regressive hypnotherapy which means I will not be using hypnotherapy linked to your childhood experiences. From £270
Managing Menopause
Research has shown that around 20% of menopausal women consider leaving work or reducing their hours due to symptoms such as fatigue, memory problems and anxiety. These sessions are designed to support women who may feel the menopause is affecting their daily life. Every woman experiences perimenopause and menopause differently. This is why over the course of 6 sessions we work together to discuss and identify the areas which are causing you the most concerns. After the first assessment session, a bespoke set of sessions are compiled to support you and your journey. An example of the sessions may include how to manage: hot flashes rage and anger brain fog sleep issues anxiety, worry and overwhelm These sessions are designed to work for women both using HRT and those that do not. I am not a doctor and I do not give advice about medication choices. From £405
