About Me
Hi, my name is Ian Barrow, and I am a qualified and accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist, Strategic Psychotherapist, and Counsellor. I have been in private practice for a number of years
In my younger years, I travelled the world whilst also playing Professional sport in the United Kingdom. I now consider myself a global citizen who resides in Australia.
My early professional life was primarily in Management where I was fortunate to have worked up to C-Suite level within organisations.
I have been in private practice for a number of years and am also contracted as a Therapist to an International Therapy Provider where I provide global Therapeutic and Coaching services.
My transition into Mental Health as a Therapist is one I had dreamt of for 20 years and for which I feel fortunate to have achieved. I believe my life experience adds a strong foundation, depth of knowledge, and resource which I am able to draw on to support you - my client.
My Approach
Life can throw challenges at us which we all struggle with at times. During these times it is important to recognise that extra support is available. This is where I can help!
I understand how confronting it can be to choose a therapist to support you and trust with your mental health concerns. This is a space where we can feel most vulnerable, most unsafe, and at times isolated. Having trust in me as your therapist is an important part of the therapeutic alliance required to move into a space of healing within our sessions.
My commitment to you is that I will honour and respect you for who you are. I will not judge you, - I will be open, caring, empathetic, and supportive through your mental health journey. It is important that you feel throughout this journey that I am by your side to support you and that you feel seen, acknowledged, and validated.
I will use evidence-based therapies and principles to support you in your healing journey through the modalities of Strategic Psychotherapy & Modern Clinical Hypnotherapy.
My Values
“I will respect your dignity on your healing journey and support you through your healing process by bringing openness, integrity, compassion, and sensitivity to our therapeutic alliance. I will respect diversity, and value you for who you are and for the potential within you. I will respect our confidential relationship and the trust you bestow on me. I will honour your potential to change and to continue learning. I will be loyal & faithful to you and our therapeutic relationship and will honour my commitments to you at all times.”
