your pattern can be changed

You may feel fed up, disheartened and at the end of a tough period but despite this, theres no doubt that there's a part of you ready to take the next step and starting to take action. You may be resigned to some degree thinking along the lines of "this is just the way I am", even to the point of helplessness, 'I can't do anything about it." But there's a part of you that can, and this is how we begin.  Trust in yourself is crucial. I can help with your strengthening your inner resolve in this process of reckoning with yourself. By coming to see a therapist you start an unspoken contract with yourself, that you are prepared to look at what you are doing and look at making change and moving forward. On session 1 we'd discuss your story and I'd want to ask a lot of questions to understand as much as I can about you. We'd look at your values and goals to provide  a framework  and a direction for the work. I always provide you with some self-help tools that you can use yourself and are effective in dealing with anxiety, triggers, or craving. You won't look back.

methods I use

Within Cognitive Hypnotherapy one of the tools that we use is trance where the client is in a light trance (no different to feeling lost in a book and not noticing someone coming into the room) to make hypnotic suggestion. We use NLP to identify what your model of the world is which helps us to understand why 'you are doing your addiction and how it fits into your current mind's rationale. I use EMDR and also techniques from NLP, EFT and Havening Techniques. The important thing with Addiction is that you need to be a co-pilot and be ready to let go and start a whole new way with my guidance. i.e. you need to do  the work as well. If you are prepared to look deep into yourself through this process there is much more to gain than losing the addiction. You could stand to gain new energy and a revolutionised you meaning more self-respect, better relationships at home and at work, better health and a newly formed concept about who you are, your ability to take control and reshape your future. ​

what underlies addiction

Some of the reasons for Addiction are - sadness, unease, frustration, suppressed rage, nervousness, stressful relationships (family or partner), depression, peer pressure, low self-esteem, genetic factors, if members of the family were addicts, because of loneliness or there may have been an event or incident or a particular time period that triggered the start of it. Part of therapy is to get help in identifying why you are doing it and unravelling the underlying issues. This is why each individual case is so unique and why group therapy for addiction doesn't always work for everyone. Also some people prefer privacy and especially when it's necessary to do a certain amount of soul-searching and discuss things that perhaps even close friends may not know about, confidentiality becomes of paramount importance. This is your own individual search and what you stand to get out of it is a new lease on life for yourself and for loved ones around you. At the end of the day, there's no time to lose.
