Cognitive hypnotherapy and practical support to understand the patterns that make life difficult and explore new ways of responding.
01 / A pattern
A tough meeting triggers your 13-year-old version — the one who learned to be perfect.
That version runs the "don’t make mistakes" and "stay in control at all costs" configuration.
You freeze. Over-prepare. Avoid.
Some call it anxiety. Perfectionism. Imposter syndrome. We call them patterns.
02 / Making sense of it
A response can make sense even when it’s no longer helpful. Trying to get everything right might help you feel prepared or avoid criticism, even when it leaves you exhausted.
We explore what your response is doing for you and why it shows up in those moments. We find that out together, from your experience.
“What feels at stake if you make a mistake?”
03 / The method
We don’t fight the unconscious. We speak its language.
04 / Working together
I structure our work around four stages: understanding the pattern, working with it, trying things in everyday life, and building on what helps. Sessions give us time for conversation, reflection and trying a different perspective.
Understand what’s happening
We explore the patterns you’re noticing, what brings them up, and what you would like to be different. Together, we find a useful starting point.
Work with the response
Using conversation, focused attention and imagination, we work with the feelings and responses you want to change. The tools we use are shaped around you.
Try it in everyday life
You notice how things feel in the situations that brought you here. We use that experience to see what is helping, what still feels difficult, and what needs adjusting.
Build on what’s changing
We practise the responses you want to keep and explore how to use them in future situations. Personalised audio and practice between sessions can support this work.
We decide together what you need next. We can revisit a stage as needed; the process is shaped around you.
Your starting point
You don’t need to have it all worked out before getting in touch. Tell me a little about what you’re finding difficult, and we can talk about how we might work together.
