WHAT IS
TRANSPERSONAL COUNSELLING ...
I specialize in Transpersonal Counselling, which is the metaphysical school of psychologymarked by its holistic attention to the whole person, including the spiritual.
It is a popular field of counselling helping clients to develop healing techniques
arising from meditation, mindfulness, guided visualization and deep emotional experiencing
to help reduce anxiety while invoking a personal calm in everyday living.
To that, rather than being considered too "alternative" or unconventional, meditation, mindfulness and
guided visualization all arise from natural states of focused concentration
humans experience multiple times a day.
I'm A BEHAVIOURAL SPECIALIST ...
... working with people to change behaviours, habits and responsesno longer working for them in their life.
For example, how many tmes have you said,
"I just cant seem to help reacting like that!"
As we grow, humans develop behaviours to protect ourselves or to get what we want.
These behaviours (temper tantrums, etc.) worked to our benefit at the time
but as we became older, those by now automatically arising responses
(like repetitive expressions of anger, frustration, anxiety or fear)
can be self-defeating in the same situations.
Meditation and Creative Visualization, which both arise from the hypnotic state,
are the two most effective ways to help re-programme those negative responses from their roots
to positive responses, so you can take control back of your life.
HYPNOTHERAPY EXPLAINED
In Plain English ...
Like the visible portion of an iceberg, your conscious mind is only 10% of your brain function.
Your conscious mind, drawing from memory in the subconscious, protects you from putting your hand on a hot stove by telling you, "That's hot! Don't touch it!"
However when trying to stop smoking, lose weight or change a behaviour by willpower alone, the conscious mind expresses your current belief,"That's too hard! I can't do that!" and blocks any lasting changes.
Hypnosis bypasses those automatically arising, self-defeating learned responses by accessing the subconscious part of the mind directly (90% of your brain) and changing the negative responses at their source.
