Mind Matters Therapies Ltd

General information

All of us have the ability to heal, given the right type of help. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the correct type of psychotherapy and counselling can be far more effective than drug therapy. I use a combination of psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuro-linguistic programming to help you achieve fast, lasting results.

I offer effective therapy to get your life working again as quickly as possible.
I can help with...
Stress
Anxiety
Panic attacks
Depression
IBS
Phobias
Addictions
Eating disorders
Weight issues
Sleep problems
Chronic pain
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Relationship difficulties
and many other forms of emotional distress.

The aim of therapy is to relieve emotional distress and help you move on as swiftly as possible. I am trained in highly effective techniques to deal quickly with past trauma - in many cases this only takes one or two sessions.
The therapy I use is always positive and forward focused. I will not be asking you to root around and analyse the past, or attempt to dredge up real or imagined miserable memories. Research now shows this tends to confuse and upset vulnerable people. However, I DO listen to your story carefully to understand what has happened and what you want to change and will offer practical help to deal with mental and emotional distress in the here and now. Whatever has happened in the past, all that matters is your current attitude and your belief that the future will be better.

I aim to help you identify any unmet emotional needs and to rediscover and develop your own resources in order to get those needs met. I will teach you relaxation techniques so that you can think more clearly, find solutions, and develop skills and strategies NOW for difficulties which may be recent or have their roots some time ago in your past. All of my therapy is designed to help you change unhelpful patterns of behaviour with the minimum of fuss.
