Talking therapies can be enormously valuable, particularly when you need space to process, understand and be heard. RELEASE™ is designed for when you are ready to work more actively and intensively towards change.

Rather than relying on one therapeutic approach or open-ended weekly sessions, I integrate psychology, clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT, psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches according to you and what emerges through our work.

The aim isn't simply to understand the problem or help you manage it. We work with the beliefs, emotional responses and patterns that may be keeping it going, while building more helpful responses for the future.

Because meaningful therapeutic work needs both intervention and integration. 

RELEASE combines three intensive 1-to-1 sessions with periods between them for your mind to process and integrate the work. During those periods you'll use a personalised therapeutic recording created specifically for you, and I'll check in with you between the main stages.

This is a crucial part of the process as your brain dissolves and/or restructures previously held beliefs, perceptions, emotions and behaviours.

This gives us space to create change, allow it to settle, assess what's happening and then build on it, rather than trying to do everything in one session.

Because RELEASE is structured around three distinct phases of work rather than a weekly appointment model and each one goes far deeper with greater technical infrastructure than a typical talking therapy session.

The first focuses on understanding what's happening and creating some intial relief from the symptoms you are feeling.

The second works more deeply with the beliefs, patterns and responses underlying the problem. The third turns towards the future, installing new beliefs, strengthening your new identity, responses and resilience.

Between those sessions, your personalised recordings and integration periods continue to support the work as it consolidates.

It's a six-week therapeutic process, not simply three isolated appointments.

After each stage of RELEASE, I create a therapeutic hypnosis recording specifically for you, informed by the work we've done together in the previous session, your specific symptoms, experiences and aims for the future. 

These aren't generic recordings from the RESET library or standard scripts with your name added. They reflect the themes, language, patterns and therapeutic goals relevant to your individual work.

You'll use them between sessions to support relaxation, reinforcement and integration. Your final recording is designed to help you continue strengthening the new beliefs, responses and resilience we've developed after the six-week programme has finished.

It's a conversation, not a therapy session and not a commitment to proceed. 

I'll ask you about what's happening, what you'd like to change and anything you've already tried. It gives me an opportunity to establish whether your needs fall within my professional scope and whether RELEASE is likely to be an appropriate approach.

I'll also explain how RELEASE works, how I might approach your particular situation, answer your questions and talk you through the practicalities.

If we both feel it's the right fit, we can discuss the next step. If we don't, there is absolutely no obligation to continue.

RELEASE is primarily delivered online, allowing greater flexibility and enabling you to do this work from the privacy and comfort of your own environment. 

In-person sessions can sometimes be arranged where appropriate. Depending on your location, additional travel and associated expenses may apply. We can discuss what's possible and any additional costs transparently during your complimentary discovery call.

I'll tell you. 

The discovery call isn't simply about whether you want to work with me; it's also my opportunity to understand what you're experiencing and establish whether RELEASE is appropriate and within my professional scope.

If I don't believe I'm the right person or RELEASE is the right form of support for you, I won't recommend that you proceed.

There is no obligation to book following the call.

Clinical hypnosis is a focused, relaxed state in which we can work with thoughts, imagery, associations and automatic responses in a different way from ordinary conversation. 

You don't become unconscious or lose control, and you can hear me and respond throughout. I use hypnosis as one part of an integrated therapeutic approach, rather than assuming hypnosis is the answer to every problem.

Your experience will be explained fully before we begin, and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions.

No. Going deeper does not mean deliberately making you relive painful experiences or overwhelming you emotionally. 

We may explore relevant experiences and the meanings or beliefs connected with them when appropriate, but the work is always guided by what is therapeutically useful, your responses and what you are comfortable with.

The aim is not to recreate what happened. It is to help change the way experiences and learned patterns may be affecting you now.

We view past experiences together in an observational way and keep you safe.

RELEASE has a defined six-week structure that typically works for most people and issues.

If during our work you decide you wish to work with me again on a seperate issue we can discuss that at the of the six week period to review what might be appropriate as a next step.

The intention, however, is not to create dependency on ongoing therapy. Part of the final phase is specifically focused on strengthening your own resilience and ability to move forward.

Some people feel liberated by the work and happily leave behind old behaviours, patterns, limiting beliefs and habits but then seek some support as they begin to their live their new life beyond limits - I do offer a coaching programme for the weeks after therapy to support you in maximising your new life in the space that has been created by shedding old outdated beliefs and behaviours. This is optional and only for those who seek it.

Yes. Your personalised recordings are created for your individual therapeutic use and you can continue listening to them after your six-week RELEASE programme has finished. 

Your final recording is particularly focused on reinforcing the more helpful beliefs, behaviours and responses we've established and supporting resilience when ordinary life inevitably brings pressure or challenges.
