We all have times in our life when we require some independent help from a qualified professional. At Beautiful Minds I provide a caring and safe environment where emotional issues may be discussed and dealt with in the strictest of confidence. I treat every presenting issue as serious – if it’s affecting you and the way you live, it’s worth seeking help for.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Do not expect to go to sleep or lose touch with reality.  You are fully aware, and you will know everything that is going on around you. I will simply guide you into the state - it is your cooperation that makes hypnosis work. 

​

All the psychological problems are routed in the subconscious mind. All the repressed feeling, such as emotionally intense and vivid memories comes to the surface by retrieved the experience through the hypnoses. This is like a “flashback” from such a stressful memory, kind of a dog bite, having an injections or a rape experience etc… By hypnosis we can develop use visualisations and imagery new experience to learn a new thought patterns/beliefs and behaviours and see our problem from an entirely new perspective by turning in to positive changes.

 

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy 

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is derived from psychoanalysis and the work of Freud and subsequent psychoanalytic theorists. It is a model that uses psychoanalytic concepts to explain human growth and development, and the nature of psychological problems.

 

The roots of psychodynamic counselling are firmly embedded in the belief that our childhood experiences, and unacceptable thoughts, have created our current behaviour patterns and negative thinking. This is because we have allowed certain thoughts to influence our feelings. All these emotions, feelings and thoughts become repressed and manifest themselves as depression, fear and other negative symptoms.

​

I believe,the therapeutic relationship in contemporary psychodynamic counselling is based on acceptance, empathy and understanding, with an emphasis on developing a good working alliance that fosters trust. I always take account of the real world of the client, including the impact of trauma, cultural difference, sexual orientation, disability and social context.
