About Integrative Hypnotherapy
What does it mean?
Integrative Hypnotherapy
I am an integrative Hypnotherapist, which means that I integrate a number of different approaches with Hypnotherapy. I have the experience and flexibility to tailor my approach and interventions to meet your needs, helping you to fulfil your goals for therapy.
Person-centred
This approach addresses the fundamental foundation of therapy – a therapeutic relationship that is safe, genuine, empathic, unconditionally positive and client-led. It cannot be underestimated how important this is to the success of all other approaches and interventions
Exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring
These are subsets of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Safe and managed exposure to troubling emotions restructures clients’ limiting beliefs. This can bring about a state of long-awaited equilibrium
Existential therapy
Similarly to mindfulness and exposure therapy, fear, or angst (about existence) is leant into. In transpersonal therapy, fear is not something to be overcome, but to respond to as a motivation for living purposefully and significantly, instead of being reacted to with desperation
Mindfulness
Mindfulness can promote a simple awareness of and presence with an emotional experience, without judgement, or previous meaning-making. This helps to bring about relief through acceptance, making space for emotions to regulate themselves
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a therapeutic tool that can be applied to diverse clinical profiles of clients in helping them overcome obsessive fears of death. Hypnotherapy grants clients access to deeply underlying subconscious fears that may otherwise remain hidden.
Transpersonal therapy
Transpersonal therapy focuses on the importance of transcending the self and exploring personal and spiritual meaning in order to change your relationship with life. In terms of meaningfulness, transpersonal therapy overlaps with existential therapy. In terms of self-transcendence it overlaps with mindfulness.
