NEW! I am now offering Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy to improve workplace performance and well-being at work
I am offering cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy to help you to manage anxiety and stress at work, insomnia, presentations and interview nerves and build confidence at work?
Earlier this year, I qualified as a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist through UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. It was a fascinating course that is evidence based and covers mindfulness, hypnosis and CBT. Hypno-CBT® is the term for an integrated approach of mindfulness, hypnosis and CBT.
I learnt a wide range of techniques and the course provided a toolbox of 35 invention to use with clients. Major hypnotherapy organisations (such as General Hypnotherapy Register), and The British Psychological Society recognise this course. The General Hypnotherapy Register has accepted me as a qualified hypnotherapist.
On the back of this rigorous course, I took and passed a Diploma in Resilience and Stress Management. I also took a course on insomnia through the same college.
The reason for taking the Hypno-CBT®, Resilience and Stress Management and Insomnia courses are:
Since deciding to change career to Executive and Career Coaching many years ago, I have seen changes in the workplace. The need for resilience and wellbeing coaching is an important aspect of coaching at work. The workplace can be stressful and stress can affect happiness and performance at work. Obviously, the effect of covid-19 has exacerbated the need for resilience and the ability to manage stress in the workplace. Amongst other things, dealing with being furloughed and returning to the workplace after time away has affected how we feel about work.
I started my career change to Executive and Coaching with a Master’s in Career Counselling and Management, followed by a Master’s in Occupational Psychology and then a Diploma in Coaching Psychology (CBT based). It is fascinating to compare and contrast coaching, counselling and therapy and how these approaches can help my clients.
3. I have been able to expand my offering to include:
Hypno-CBT® for presentations and interviews
Over the years, I have had clients who find it difficult to manage their nerves with presentations and interviews. I have helped clients with interview coaching and presentation skills coaching but, for those who need more, I can now offer a more powerful approach of Hypno-CBT®.
Hypno-CBT® for resilience and stress management
Hypnotherapy, mindfulness and CBT (Hypno-CBT®) can enhance resilience coaching and coaching for managing stress. Relaxation methods are part of helping clients to be more productive and worry less about work issues.
Hypno-CBT® for insomnia
We all know how a terrible night’s sleep affects the next working day. CBT-i is the acronym for cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia. It is one of the most effective treatments for an inability to get a good night’s sleep.
Hypno-CBT® for confidence and self-esteem
Confidence and self-esteem are essential foundation bricks for a successful career and positive well-being. Including hypnotherapy, mindfulness and CBT can enhance confidence and self-esteem coaching.
I also love learning and increasing my knowledge, range of tools and techniques offered clients. I am continually trying to improve the service I offer to be more effective for my lovely clients.
