Question 10

Do you work with children?

Accepted Answer

I work with both children, adults and families.

I am passionate about helping young people, therapy is a normal and healthy way to help build great emotional intelligence and be able to regulate emotions.

Therapy for children will look a little different to adult therapy. I teach through metaphors stories, technique, and strategies building a wellbeing toolbox for life as well as talking and play.

My practise is covered by clear guidelines and ethics. As a member of the QCHPA, NCIP and Hypno4children, and NCH

I am unable to work with you if you have the following:

If you’re already working with another therapist, I will not be able to work with you until those sessions have come to an end.

Yes, I will write you a bespoke downloadable audio, which I want you to play between session.

I may also ask for you to journal, but your commitment to this process is key.

Question 13

What will happen at our therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

At your first session we’re discover more about you, and how you wish to see positive change, how things maybe affecting your life currently, and the impact this may have.

I will also explain more about our plan working together, what that may look like, and we will discuss reasonable goals for you, looking towards the future one step at a time. Typically our first session is longer for adults, generally 90 minutes, so please allow for this time too.

At subsequent sessions we start to unravel root causes, once we start to unravel the root causes, releasing any negative life experiences, the magic starts to happen.

During each session I will guide you through new tools & resources that allow you to feel calmer, more connected & to be in the present moment

Question 14

What are Cognitive Hypnotherapy beliefs?

Accepted Answer

Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy provides a framework and way of thinking that enables our therapists to purposefully use a great range of therapeutic techniques, ideas and tools to best support you in achieving your outcomes. You are unique, and so will be the way we help you. Among the beliefs that guide us are:

All behaviour has a positive purpose, and people are doing the best they can with what they have available at that moment.

People have everything they need to solve their issues.

The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you develop an internal locus of control, where you are in charge of how you respond to life.

All problems are created by the mind, and so are all solutions.

Trance is an everyday phenomenon present in every problem and an aid to the person’s solution.
