Changing Times Hypnotherapy: hypnosis, mindfulness, EFT, CBT

For anxiety, stress and life transition changes - become the best you can be!

Hypnosis for stress, anxiety and life's changes?

I’m Louise and I specialise in helping people who are struggling to cope with life’s problems by teaching them ways of reducing and managing stress and anxiety, and by giving them the inner resilience and coping strategies to deal with everything that life might have in store.

When you come to see me, the therapy I provide will be tailored to your specific needs and designed to enable you to develop the confidence and skills to manage your life in the future.

Evidence-based treatment

I believe in using methods that have been clinically proven to be effective, offering you the best chance of success. The techniques I use include hypnosis, relaxation, mindfulness and EFT (or tapping).

Hypnotherapy and these other tools can help you change behaviour if you want it to! Hypnotherapy is a way of harnessing your brain’s natural power to enable you to achieve change and to achieve the best version ‘you’ that there is!

Will it work in one session?

Hypnotherapy is a very powerful tool, but the evidence shows that the best results are achieved when you commit to working with me over a number of sessions. Some hypnotherapists believe change can happen over a single session but I believe that deeper and more meaningful change that lasts needs several sessions for the best results.

Appointments

One to one hypnosis, client, therapist, in-person hypnotherapy

When you come to see me, the therapy I provide will be tailored to your specific needs and designed to enable you to develop the confidence and skills to manage your life in the future.

I offer private, one-on-one appointments for clients needing help with stress management (including exam stress) anxiety (including driving anxiety, work anxiety or anxiety about family situations), insomnia, menopausal symptoms (such as hot flushes), weight management, self-esteem issues, improving self confidence, phobias (such as fear of flying) and changing bad habits such as nail-biting.

If you are thinking of coming to see me, the first step will be a free initial telephone consultation, when I can answer any questions you have, we can discuss your problems and you decide whether you would like to go ahead with a consultation.

Clients often report that they begin to feel better after only one or two sessions, but much more meaningful and long-term change can be achieved with six to eight sessions. Some clients, with more complex issues, may need longer, and some people, who have a great deal of stress in their lives, find that booster sessions every few weeks are really helpful.

I work in Chiswick most days of the week but I also run clinics in St Margaret's, Twickenham and in London Bridge on request. At the moment, I seeing people in person at all three locations as well as providing therapy online for those who prefer this.

Sometimes, people worry that an online session won't be the same as an 'in person' session. These worries are natural but rest assured, online sessions have been shown to be equally effective and some people actually prefer it. There are a few practical things to bear in mind before we start, like making sure you have a quiet private place for the session, ensuring you have a reliable connection and checking that any device is plugged in, if possible, so battery life isn't an issue. I can send you a checklist before we start and I am happy to talk you through the process in detail.

I also work as a hypnotherapist with the charity Anxiety UK. They are able to offer subsidised therapy sessions to people suffering with anxiety and who are struggling to afford private therapy. You can specifically request me as your therapist if you would like to see me through Anxiety UK.

My clients say

L says:'I contacted Louise to help my 13 year old daughter with some digestive issues that were getting worse when anxious. From the first contact over the phone, Louise was really warm and she immediately understood the issue at stake. Her approach was perfectly adapted to my daughter's personality (and age). The sessions were really well balanced with a mix of hypnosis and relaxation techniques, which my daughter has now learned for life. It's proven really helpful for her and she is feeling significantly better. I would strongly recommend working with Louise.'

J says: 'Everything changed when I met Louise. She retrained my brain to get me out of my dating rut and gave me the confidence to let people get to know the real me. I found the hypnosis really helpful too in terms of boosting my confidence and I would listen to the recordings on my way to dates to keep me caIm and in a good frame of mind. It made me less focused on myself and how I was coming across and more on what they were saying. I was also frozen with panic in terms of meeting ‘The One’ and you really helped me relax and took the pressure off.

'I felt you were able to untangle my jumbled mind well and were able to explain why I was having certain negative thoughts which helped me at the time and has since helped in other difficult situations. I would recommend you to anyone who is struggling. Thank you so much! '

S says:'I want to recommend Louise to anyone who is feeling anxious. She has coached me through quite a few traumas especially the illness of someone very close to me. I find that the tapping is an invaluable tool when you feel powerless and lack a sense of control. It is a tangible method for helping yourself to feel empowered and more positive. Louise delivers all of her sessions with great empathy and professionalism. She exudes calm that is both supportive and reassuring.'

G says:'As a 60 year old man suffering from career induced anxiety it took some persuading for me to seek external help. In reality I should have seen Louise much earlier, not only did she help me banish the anxiety quickly and permanently, she taught me skills to avoid it reoccurring and considerably boosted my self esteem and resilience. Louise's calm, friendly, measured and discreet style effortlessly elicits life changing results.'

M says: 'The practical, behavioural advice for helping me tackle my insomnia I would rate very highly, particularly having a time to shut down. I feel so much better now that my body has made its own decisions after putting all of these things into practice!

The hypnosis was particularly useful in allowing myself to really ‘let go’ . I would definitely recommend hypnotherapy.'

J says: ‘Louise really listens. She is open minded and sensitive and is keen to help. The sessions I spent with her were invaluable. She taught me to think about menopausal symptoms, sleep and stress in a completely different way. She suggests positive coping strategies and is a sympathetic and highly professional practitioner.’

S says: 'I have found the workshops extremely helpful in helping me deal with my menopause. From the wealth of information given making me realise I am not alone in this, to the self-hypnosis exercises, it really help me to relax. I cannot thank Louise enough for the tools she has given me in helping me on this most frustrating of journeys. Thank you again.’

C says:'I went to see Louise after suffering from insomnia for years off and on. It had got worse recently because of the menopause, and some days I felt so exhausted that I had to cancel all but the most important things during the day. It was really affecting me.

Louise was warm and friendly, and I immediately felt relaxed with her. She asked detailed questions to understand the problem and gave me a sleep diary which I had to keep. The hypnotherapy was very relaxing and she then sent me the recording which I played each evening, as well as following other pieces of advice she gave me. It helped me a great deal and since then I haven't suffered so badly.

I would really recommend Louise as I found going to see her beneficial.'
