Services
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy sessions combine cognitive-behavioural techniques with depth psychology to address emotional and psychological challenges. Fiona works collaboratively with clients to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. This evidence-based approach helps individuals achieve lasting improvements in mental well-being.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy utilises a natural state of focused attention to facilitate positive change. Through guided relaxation and suggestion techniques, clients access their subconscious mind to modify unwanted behaviours and thought patterns. This powerful method effectively addresses issues ranging from anxiety to habit modification.
Smoking Cessation
Our targeted smoking cessation programme combines hypnotherapy with behavioural strategies to break nicotine addiction. Fiona helps clients reframe their relationship with smoking through personalised sessions that address both physical cravings and psychological triggers for lasting results.
Phobia Treatment
Specialised treatment for phobias uses gradual exposure techniques within a hypnotic state to reduce fear responses. Fiona helps clients safely confront and reframe traumatic associations, enabling them to overcome debilitating anxieties and regain control of their lives.
Anxiety Management
Anxiety management programmes teach practical coping techniques through hypnotherapy and cognitive restructuring. Fiona works with clients to identify anxiety triggers and develop personalised strategies for maintaining emotional balance in challenging situations.
