Hypnotherapy

Ericksonian Hypnotherapy is an indirect, permissive, and conversational style of hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis is a normal and natural state which human beings naturally move in and out of every day.

Real therapeutic hypnosis is nothing like stage hypnosis. You stay in control at all times, you don’t “hand your mind over,” and you will never be asked or able to do anything you do not want to do. My approach always honours you, your boundaries and your sense of safety.

Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, dreamlike state of focused attention that can help you connect with your inner resources, explore new perspectives, and support relaxation and positive change. By using the power of imagination and therapeutic suggestions, it can help you develop a greater sense of calm, safety and wellbeing, supporting your own capacity for healing in a grounded and empowering way.

"I was really struggling, mentally and with grief. Vanessa introduced me to tapping, and it really helped me day to day, it is my saviour. I tap most days! Without Vanessa I wouldn’t have know about tapping. After each session I felt lighter and calm. It was a lovely experience, thank you Vanessa.

Sarah

"Vanessa is very compassionate and creates a very safe and relaxed environment, which made me feel comfortable, able to share and can take your time feeling the things you’re feeling. I never felt rushed and I felt like she was really present with me in each session we had together. I also liked the fact that Vanessa worked with me to find the words that felt right to me, as opposed to being too prescriptive. I felt like she gently guided me to where I needed to go, but let me feel the way myself. This made my sessions feel very personal and true to me and helped me to really connect to my emotions and experiences."

Caroline

Vanessa is very perceptive; she senses my mood and needs early on in a session and uses different techniques to guide me to a better place to get the best from our time together. She is patient and always encouraging in her guidance. I never doubt that she believes in me, which makes me feel empowered. She is both practical and creative in setting clear and realistic goals and solutions. I always feel motivated after our sessions. Vanessa is a compassionate, caring and incredibly supportive coach and human being.

Claire

"Vanessa provides a wonderfully safe space in which I am able to share my feelings. She is non-judgmental and empowering. The words she chooses to use are carefully selected and resonate with how I am feeling. She has a unique ability to re-phrase thoughts and emotions in a positive way to allow me to start to think differently. "

Louise

"The tapping clarifies scenarios and highlights the emotions involved. The re-programming with Timeline Therapy was excellent. Vanessa is wonderfully empathetic and helps me feel and see issues for what they really are, she can put her finger on the exact thing needed rather than focusing on the story behind it, screening it. Always friendly and perfectly professional. I appreciate the way Vanesas works according to my needs working through the layers of resistance as and when necessary, and she pick ups on the subtleties skillfully."

Helen

"Vanessa was brilliant in her approach, I was honestly surprised by my emotional response, it was very powerful, and I found it to be such as positive experience to help me move forward. I am so grateful for her time, empathy and compassion, I wish I had come sooner."

I am so impressed with her wealth of knowledge on this subject and have been able to adapt many of her ideas into my daily diet. My last session both of us agreed to look more deeply into IET (tapping). This is all quite new to me. We based the session around poor self-esteem as this was my objective and we covered past traumas in this process. I rediscovered by depth of feelings that were uncovered. My trust and confidence in Vanessa is phenomenal.
