Hypnotherapy and NLP

I use NLP, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, timelines, regression, parts therapy, core transformation, wholeness work, and inner child hypnosis to facilitate lasting change.

I have specialist HypnoMenopause®, HypnoIBS®, and Somasense® practitioner training. As well as holding a certificate in Hypnotherapy for chronic pain and another for eating disorders.

The areas I typically work with include limiting beliefs, confidence, trauma, and challenging relationships. Digestion, IBS, and disordered eating. Also, easing autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and menopause.

It is possible for change to take place in just one session although typically I recommend three to six sessions for lasting change. I offer wellbeing coaching to continue my support.

I am also trained in trauma focused therapies including Integral Eye Movement Therapy and Metaphysical Anatomy.

Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses the power of suggestion to encourage positive change. I use relaxation techniques to help clients reach a state where the conscious part of the mind is relaxed and the subconscious part is more open to suggestion. This enables clients to use their own resources deep within to help make changes or regain control in certain areas of their life.  

"I just wanted to say how unbelievably helpful you have been for me. I went back to work on Thursday last week and was very wobbly on Wednesday night. My heart was racing and I was feeling panicky. BUT, I lay in bed and went through all the things we had talked about and I placed myself on the beach, caressed my ring and was able to bring myself back to calm and strength. Honestly, you are a Godsend Laura. Thank you."

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is an extremely effective way of making lasting rapid change in your life. It focuses on how the present and the future can be different rather than spending too much time asking why we have issues and dragging up the past, so it makes change an intriguing, often fun and quick process. It is concerned with:

Neuro the way our brain and mind works

Linguistic how language affects the way our brain and mind works

Programming how our brain often seems to work, sometimes against us, in very automated ways

"Laura is a goddess. She took the time to listen to me and didn't rush me at all. I felt completely comfortable with her and opened up about topics that I otherwise struggle to even think about, yet alone discuss with others. Laura is so patient and helpful and really delved into historic issues to resolve them. She has taught me coping mechanism and provided me handy tips that I will use for life. I'm over the moon with my progress since and I cannot thank her enough. Highly recommended!"

As a Somasense® practitioner I offer a targeted three session package focusing on the mind-body connection.

When we experience trauma our bodies store this information. If we haven't physically worked through the trauma we may experience chronic pain, anxiety and depression. Our mind and body may be in a constant state of conflict as we continue to think of them as two separate entities. By encouraging you to connect deeply at a somatic level, you learn from your body, connect with and interpret the messages it holds.

Over the three sessions I encourage clients to connect with and release stored physical trauma in a compassionate way.
