It is always useful to find out how a therapist works before beginning therapy. The way a therapist works is called an 'approach'. My approach is integrative which means I use a number of different approaches to which I integrate into my way of working. I adapt my approach accordingly to facilitate your journey.
Clinical hypnotherapists are not at all like stage hypnotists and do not work in the same way. Clinical hypnotherapists are clinically trained under an ethical code to use and understand levels of consciousness for the benefit of the client. Sigmund Freud used hypnosis in his early days of his practice with patients.
My training and experience comes from a very keen interest in the psychology of people, and in particular the human psyche. As a mature student and a mother, I obtained a graduate degree in Psychology (BSc) and a masters degree in Criminology (MA) because I wanted to understand more about people, society, crime and how these interacted with each other in the broader sense. As I studied, I worked, raised a family and worked with different agencies volunteering to gain hands on experience in these areas. This enabled me to meet with many different groups of people from many different walks of life which has been an invaluable experience. I went on to gain a diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling which included a qualification in the use of hypnosis. I find using hypnosis with psychotherapy an extremely valuable combination. Hypnosis is very versatile; from simple relaxation to making deeper cognitive changes. From an academic point of view, I have continued to pursue my areas of interest through reading and researching hypnosis in conjunction with the therapeutic relationship, and deeper issues such as how how changing a persons level of consciousness in hypnosis can help re-regulate their emotions; encouraging emotional regulation in Complex PTSD for example. If you would like to know more I will be adding a button below in due course to expand on my interests and what I am currently looking into.
I will guide you on a journey to a more positive sense of well-being. Come and try a taster session if you have never been into the hypnotic trance before. The experience is not something you can always describe in words and clients often say things like 'That was deep and sooooo relaxing', or 'When I go home, how can I put that into words to my partner?!', and 'This time I saw swirling colours that were so calming, I don't know how else to describe it...'. These are just a few common words that people do use to express their experience of the hypnotic trance.
Expect nothing less than pure relaxation in hypnosis with the knowledge that you are on a path to something better... Making changes sub-conciously can be a very liberating experience. You will notice in your every day life that changes have occurred but you will not always know exactly how that has come about.
I use psychotherapy and the easibirthing method of hypnobirthing to support women and their birth partner for a calmer and more relaxed pregnancy and birth. Learn deep relaxation and self-hypnosis to reduce any anxieties and tension, leaving you calm, confident and in control of your pregnancy and birth.
I am pleased to be able to offer a very personalised hypnotherapy treatment service based in the beautiful Kent countryside, whereby every client is treated as a unique individual with their own specific requirements. Each session is uniquely tailored to suit those individual requirements following consultation. I will put together a treatment plan with you, ensuring you are at the center of your therapy.
My aim is to help you achieve the goals you want to achieve through positive suggestion and the process of hypnosis. I focus on helping you feel more positive and in control of your mind so that each time you leave my therapy room you feel that you are making positive progress. Feeling in control and being more positive after your sessions will help build your confidence, self-esteem and maintain motivation. It really is that simple.
As your therapist I will accompany you through this journey of change, all at your own pace. It is my promise to you that I will provide a safe, secure, confidential and non-judgmental space where I will listen to your concerns and facilitate your progression, however long or short that may be.

"I hired Amanda for both my girls at different times. I have found Amanda very friendly she works well with children and seems to put them at ease. She has respected their confidentiality but also helped me to understand what the issues were and we worked together to resolve these. She was always supportive and professional'.
" I needed help to quit smoking Amanda was amazing I was really nervous as I’ve never experienced hypnotherapy before, with Amanda’s help I have been smoke free for 4 days now, I haven’t even thought about smoking, no urges nothing!
