Modern Hypnotherapy (Erickson Hypnotherapy)
I use Modern Hypnotherapy ON-LINE within my practice. Modern Hypnotherapy differs from the older, more traditional model of hypnotherapy by being tailored specifically to you ’the client’, and hence tends to have better outcomes.
Modern Hypnotherapy is used in the Therapeutic space and releases control to you (as the client), empowering you to choose to go into a trance, and once in trance to make the changes you choose to make happen. This trance state creates a state of heightened awareness within you.
The cornerstone of our session will be the permissiveness of the session . I will speak your language through my tone, my inflection, my choice of words as well as sitting in our empathetic space. I will utilise your tools and resources that sit within you during the induction so the language I speak will be one you are familiar with. The one guarantee I provide you, is that I will not sound like I am reading from a script.
In contrast to Traditional Hypnotherapy where the practitioner is in control, the Hypnotherapist within Modern Hypnotherapy is just the guide

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
In CBT, my role is that of an expert, a guide, and a mentor who assists you to become aware of faulty thought patterns, negative interpretations, and the behavioural patterns that are reinforcing your distorted thinking. I will assist you in learning how to identify distorted cognitions and then help you to decide on suitable changes to resolve the problem.

Strategic Psychotherapy
On-line Strategic therapy is client-centered, but is therapist led. The client is the one who is the expert in having the problem, but the therapist is the one who is more likely to be the expert in resolving the problem. As a strategic therapist I will seek to recognise your problem and strategically manoeuvre you into recognising how you created the problem, as well as identifying any gaps in your experiential knowledge that support the problem. As your strategic therapist I will lead you to the answer and help you to utilize whatever strengths you have to overcome the issue. It is brief therapy and is an ideal adjunct to your hypnosis training. In fact, my hypnotic interventions are informed by strategic psychotherapy.
The addition that is unique to my strategic psychotherapy is the addition of the Gordian Pillars of Psychotherapy. This is a systematic assessment tool that allows me to assess your issue and address it properly quickly. Note that this approach is arguably the most effective combination available in talk therapy today, and you can only get it through strategic psychotherapists trained at the Institute of Applied Psychology
Ultimately, the goal of Strategic Psychotherapy within my practice is to promote a desirable change within you. From a dysfunctional balance (the balance of the problem), you get to identify and construct a new, more appropriate balance of the solution. It all starts with your instinctive reactions to the reality you perceive.
