Hi, I'm Amy!
As a former ESL teacher and actor, I have seen so many people who lack confidence and belief in themselves and most of all, I noticed that in myself.
I knew on a conscious level I didn’t have the mindset to truly realise my potential, wholeheartedly pursue my goals and achieve my dreams. I wanted very much to change this for myself and for my students and fellow performers.I am proud to say that I now have more tools available to me to help others to uncover the root cause of their issue, resolve and reframe their thinking and to install more powerful, life changing beliefs and habits. This is a result of qualifiying as a Certified Hypnotherapist and Advanced Rapid Transformational Practitioner, awarded by Marisa Peer’s Rapid Transformational Therapy School in 2018, and is further supported by Level 3 ILM NeuChem Coaching qualification from The Maria Paviour Company, awarded in 2021.Not in the Performing Arts?

CONGRATULATIONS ON TAKING THAT FIRST STEP!

"Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier.

HYPNOSIS FAQS

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?

Hypnosis is a process of inducing a relaxed state of mind which allows you to tap into your subconscious mind. With a hypnotherapist, a client can be assisted to move from a beta brainwave (conscious mind) into an alpha brainwave (subconscious mind) which allows a client to access information that can help them resolve a specific issue in their conscious, daily life. It’s very easy and anyone can do it, you’ll see for yourself when you do it too!

WHAT DOES IF FEEL LIKE?

The experience feels different for different people. Some people feel a floating sensation, some do not. Others may feel sleepy, some do not. Most people feel relaxed and at ease. What’s most important is to know that how you feel isn’t an indicator of how effective it is. Regardless of what it feels like, it’s working.

WHAT IF I CAN'T BE HYPNOTISED?

Believe it or not, you have already been hypnotised! Throughout your day you regularly move in and out of the brainwaves (eg. daydreaming during a boring lecture etc.)
As long as you wish to enter hypnosis, you will. It's an easy, enjoyable and thoroughly relaxing process.

WILL I BE ASLEEP?

No. You are aware of everything that is happening throughout the session and you also can't get stuck in hypnosis. You can talk, move your body, get a tissue, even get up and leave for a bathroom break if necessary. If the session is over Zoom and our call gets disconnected you may drift into sleep if you’re really relaxed, but eventually you’ll notice that you’re not hearing my voice and open your eyes.

WILL YOU TAKE CONTROL OF MY MIND?

No. You are in charge. You cannot be made to do anything and you cannot be taken into hypnosis against your will. It is your experience, I simply guide and support you.

WILL OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT MY SESSION WITH YOU?

Absolutely not. Every session is completely confidential, only between you and me. Any private information and data you provide is kept with me in a secure file and in accordance to Data Protection or GDPR requirements, which you can read more about in the Terms and Conditions section of this website and you can also contact me via [email protected] to ask for more details regarding how your data will be stored and used.However, in cases where there is a Safeguarding concern or a disclosure to self harm, information will be provided to the relevant authorities.

CAN I DO MY SESSION ONLINE?

Absolutely! I see 95% of my clients this way and many all over the world, so distance is not an issue. I use Zoom for online therapy sessions as it is encrypted, requires password access and I lock our meetings, which ensures my duty to confidentiality.

HOW LONG IS A SESSION?

Depending on our discussion during the Discovery Call and the package agreed upon, a session typically lasts between 60-90 mins so it's best that you don't have anything planned for immediately after the session.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

Everyone is different because clients come with different issues. Some will only require 1 session whereas other issues can take 2 or 3 and on some occasions, depending on the issue, maybe more. It does also depend on your level of commitment to your recording for a minimum of 21 days.
Change can happen for people in 3 ways:
Instant: you feel an immediate shift at the conclusion of the session, mentally, emotionally and physically.Cumulative: You see consistent shifts every day, or over time.Retroactively: you don't notice change initially but one day upon looking back, you see how much things actually have changed in your life.

HOW DO YOU GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE?

I use a few techniques inclusive of regression where I guide you back to scenes or memories connected with the issue you are looking to solve. It's a bit like a detective looking for clues to connect together and understand the belief you have developed that has led to the current issue. I also might draw upon parts work which helps to deal with inner conflict but this depends upon what comes up in our initial discussion about your issue.This might seem like a scary prospect but even if you go back to scenes from your life that are related to trauma or abuse, you will not relive the event. You will simply observe events or experiences you have had in your past in a safe space with my support and guidance.
