Psychotherapy
Working with the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
Psychotherapy and working with the Highly Sensitive Person allows for reflection and exploration. Noticing beliefs and core belief systems using and sensing subtle energies, being present, looking inward for inner guidance and the subtle art of listening.
Developing intuition means preparing to trust yourself. You’ll learn to listen to the signals your body sends, use a body scanning exercise to read yourself and others, determine whether you’re an intuitive empath and learn to remember and interpret dreams. By developing intuition you’ll have the tools to trust yourself and make transformative decisions.

Highly Sensitive People (HSP) exhibit a high measure of sensory processing sensitivity which is a personality trait that has been described as having hypersensitivity to external stimuli, high emotional reactivity, and greater depth of cognitive processing. HSP is someone who is extra sensitive to all internal and external stimuli.
With compassionate Psychotherapy and using tools and strategies to support and identify the clients strengths.
Hypnotherapy
Integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Clinical Hypnosis offers a powerful combination of these treatment strategies. Studies have shown Clinical Hypnosis can enhance Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment and treat trauma. Hypnosis is a useful tool for the treatment of anxiety, depression and fears. Clients whose issues may fall into the areas of psychological problems, habit change, or performance enhancement, may benefit significantly with hypnosis. Clinical Hypnosis enhances cognitive and behavioral therapies
The trance state is a natural phenomenon. During the trance state there a is heightened concentration for the specific purpose of heightening your potential, changing limiting beliefs and behaviors while gaining insight and wisdom. Clinical Hypnosis practiced by a trustworthy and professionally qualified therapist is completely safe and clients are always aware in and in control. A trained Clinical Hypnotherapist acts as a facilitator of the client’s work and process.
CBT Hypnotherapy
Is short-term psychotherapy that focuses on the client’s present situation assisting to identify the client’s dysfunctional and distorted thoughts, patterns and beliefs. These patterns of behavior’s are challenged, using this model. The client is educated on the relationship between his or her thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT supports the use of treatment to support anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance abuse, and personality disorders. During CBT, the therapist will identify and challenge a client’s negative thought patterns. The therapist will also help the client understand the impact those thoughts have on his or behavior and feelings. By doing this, the therapist and the client will be able to come up with alternative thoughts that lead to more positive feelings and behaviors.
Mindfulness Psychotherapy
Mindfulness Psychotherapy allows for a broader sense of the present moment that includes thoughts and feelings about the past, present and future.
This approach helps you to focus your mind, see things more clearly and calm your the body. Mindfulness is a very helpful way to manage stress, thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness Psychotherapy is a way to skillfully manage emotions and to stop reliving the past while putting feelings and thoughts into the future.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
The goal of DBT is to reduce impulsive behaviour, inappropriate anger, emotional outbursts, rage, anxiety, addictive behaviours and destructive habits. DBT helps clients utilise effective coping skills to deal with patterns of unstable, intense and volatile interpersonal relationships. Through the use of DBT techniques, clients will be able to improve social functioning and develop the skills necessary to deal with life issues by incorporating a more positive attitude and adaptive skills to enjoy more satisfying relationships.
DBT focuses on mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal skills and distress tolerance. It involves intensive individual therapy often accompanied by inpatient treatment and group therapy based on individual needs for the level of care.

Mindfulness techniques allow us to stand behind the waterfall of emotions and watch peacefully, from a safe distance, without getting swept away.
Mindfulness practices help you better connect to and relate to yourself so that you can better connect to and relate to others.
In the Psychotherapy practice, mindfulness practices are used in individual therapy sessions with clients as an integrated, holistic treatment approach. Combining mindfulness and meditation with traditional psychotherapy modalities can help enhance the healing process. These supplemental practices can bring you even greater emotional relief and equip you with a set of tools to carry with you at all times.
