What is Metaphysics?
Metaphysics is a philosophy that maintains we live in a Universe of Infinite Intelligence which permeates all of existence. Our Spiritual Nature is one of total harmony, at One with the Intelligence.
When we are out of alignment with our True Self, we experience conflict and difficulties. The work of a Metaphysical Practitioner is to bring us back into balance.
How is it different to other forms of counselling?
This approach offers fresh perspectives on challenges and everyday issues. By combining psychological and spiritual solutions, it enables personal breakthroughs, deeper insights, and a new way of tackling problems, while providing practical tools for any situation.
As a metaphysical coach, I guide you in connecting with and being led by your higher self, the omnipotent, omnipresent part of you linked to the Universal Intelligence that governs everything. In modern psychology, this is referred to as Awareness.
We explore the spiritual laws and principles that shape our lives. Understanding and applying these principles allows us to align and flow with life. The tools you learn focus on self-empowerment. You are an infinitely powerful being, capable of manifesting and experiencing anything you desire once you understand how to work with life’s principles.
Cognitive Hypnotherapy
Cognitive Hypnotherapy takes ideas from the schools of Neuroscience, Positive Psychology, Evolutionary Psychology, Hypnotherapy, Gestalt, NLP and much more.
We all experience times when we become locked into beliefs, habits, behaviour and addictions which impact our life quality. Change becomes difficult when we self sabotage.
NLP
What is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)?
- Neuro: how we process the information;
- Linguistic: the meaning we give this information and the language we use
- Programming: how we have learnt to respond to situations consciously and unconsciously.

Frequently asked questions about the sessions and hypnotherapy
What is hypnosis?
It’s an altered state of awareness – a light trance which we go in and out of all day. It’s like being so engrossed in the latest t.v. serial that all your attention goes there.
Is it safe?
Yes, it’s absolutely safe. We go in and out of trance states daily without even realizing it.
Will I lose control?
You are always in control. You can respond to dangers and be alert when you need to be. I cannot make you do anything against your will.
Will I be fixed by just being magically hypnotized?
No, I don’t wave a magic wand and your situation disappears. This is an interactive therapy, where I act as a guide to help you find your own solutions. There is homework involved and the more effort you put in the more you will get out of it.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Yes and no. Let me explain. Trance is normal natural state that we go in and out of on a daily basis. All hypnosis is self hypnosis and all I am doing is getting you into a deliberate guided relaxed state for a specific purpose.
You can however choose not to enter into that relaxing state for various reasons. Hypnotherapy is the ‘action’ we apply i.e. the tools and the dialogue we have between us in the therapy context and hypnosis is the ‘altered state we go into’.
Why are assessments necessary?
There are certain guidelines we have to follow so that I can make sure that I have the right information before us and to see whether I can help you. Also if you are under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol, I would not carry out hypnosis.
Can I get stuck in hypnosis?
No. Think of you having a daydream, you can snap your fingers and come out of this daydream when you wish as soon as you wish.
What does it feel like?
It’s different for everyone, generally it aims be relaxing state of being and for others they might feel their senses on a heightened alert. There really is no right or wrong answer because everyone is different and will experience it differently.
What is the end outcome
As a Integrative therapist in a wide range of disciplines including Cognitive Hypnotherapy, I can tell you that this approach to therapy is about you taking responsibility for the changes you wish to see in your life. As a therapist I can guide you, hold the space for you, but I can’t take your journey for you – what you get of the sessions and the homework you undertake will see the outcome you wish to see in your life.
