More about CMP

Don't forget humour, even in tough times, is a wonderful healer.

Having a positive mindset takes work. Have you ever thought that some people are just optimists who must just hop out of bed feeling full of the joys of spring?

When I was younger, I thought that many of the behaviours that I engaged in to protect myself in situations that gave me a lot of anxiety, were actually my personality traits.

I came to understand the meaning of this statement quite late on in my counselling training. Not because I don’t understand it but because I had to put it into practise myself to really appreciate its value.

During hypnotic trance you are still aware of your surroundings and the voice of the hypnotist. Sometimes people report losing a few words here and there where they have approached more of a sleep state but you do not lose control. I usually remind my clients of this during the early part of the induction and this puts their mind at ease.

It’s a total privilege to be doing this kind of work, this client was committed to the process and made great strides.

Many people ask me what therapy is like and what the sessions consist of. I like to keep my practice space as relaxed as possible so that my clients feel comfortable. My style of therapy is person-centred so all sessions are run at the pace of the client with their goals at the centre of everything we do. The work is a collaboration, nothing is taken out of the hands of the client. I’m not the expert in their life, they are!
