Why Choose Counselling With Stephanie?

Is it ok to reach out for support?

Absolutely! The first step is to admit to yourself that you could benefit from sharing your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non judgemental space. Once you have articulated your worries you will most likely feel relief. You should not have to suffer alone.

How do I know if this is the type of counselling I require?

Stephanie is a pluralistic therapist, which simply means that she practices a range of different approaches. The great thing about this, is that sessions are bespoke and tailored to individual client needs. Whether that be talking about different coping tools to use in the present or discussing how the past has influenced and shaped the person you are.

What is a counselling session like?

Counselling sessions with Stephanie are relaxed and welcoming. The most important thing is for you to feel comfortable and heard. The therapeutic environment is an opportunity for you to speak freely, be honest and begin to understand what is going on for you.

Will Counselling Help Me to Heal?

Counselling by its very nature is conducive to healing, as giving yourself time every week to express your worries, fears and anxieties, simply allows you to process things more easily. You are the expert in your own life and therapy will help support and guide you towards making the right choices and connections, leading towards personal growth.

Couples Counselling

Couples Counselling is a great way to nurture and improve your relationship. If you feel like you and your partner are arguing frequently with no resolution in sight, or losing the intimacy you once shared, seeing a therapist could help. Talking over your problems in a safe and supportive space, could open up new ways of communicating, irradicate old, unhelpful behaviours and move you both forward towards a more healthy and loving dynamic.

Clinical Supervision

Supervision is an integral part of being a successful and ethical counsellor. The opportunity to discuss your client load, make sure you are practicing self care and sharing concerns and questions is invaluable. I work in a pluralistic way, incorporating CBT, psychodynamic and humanistic ways of working. I am down to earth, creative and compassionate.
Find out more
Steph is by far the most calm and positive person I know and was the only person who could have helped me through my dark thoughts. After the session I was left feeling positive about the future and no longer fearful of the birth of my baby. During every wave I had Steph was in the back of my mind telling me that it was temporary and that it would end. I would recommend her calming influence to anyone. I would go back to Steph time and time again for all stages in life and I am very thankful to her for pulling me out of my cloud of fear.

Treatments using Hypnotherapy

We offer a range of treatments including Hypnobirthing, Emotional Freedom Technique and Hypnotherapy

Improve Self Esteem

Delve into the subconscious mind to shift the mental blocks stopping you from being able to improve self esteem. The hypnotic state makes it much easier to explore painful thoughts, feelings or memories and start working to overcome them.

Stop Smoking

Through the power of suggestion, you’ll enter a receptive state as you begin to focus on what you need to do in order to Stop Smoking. You’ll remain fully in control throughout the process of uncovering what’s holding you back.

Lose Weight

Use the mind-body link to Lose Weight and see the results you have been seeking. You’ll enter a trance-like state that will give you heightened focus and concentration, making it easier to help you regain control.

Working with Children

Children are ideal for hypnotherapy, as they tend to be very suggestible, because their imaginations have no limitations. I will use different techniques such as storytelling, art and play to engage your child whilst hypnosis changes negative thought processes. This is a great way to alleviate exam nerves, boost self-confidence or ease fears and anxieties.

Alleviate Stress and Anxiety

Our modern society encourages us to keep on and we can easily get weighed down with life's demands. Hypnotherapy offers you a way out by teaching you to take a step back and utilise your natural coping mechanisms. Whilst in hypnosis you will relax and discover your tension triggers and how to eliminate them.

Overcome Fears and Phobias

Living with a fear of heights or having a phobia of spiders can be completely debilitating. Free yourself from these mental restraints by engaging in hypnosis to change negative pathways and get to the real route of the problem enabling you to live the life you choose.

Goal Achievement

Are you feeling demotivated and unsure about which pathway to choose? Hypnotherapy can help get you back on track and give you the tools you require to restore your ambition and inject some fresh productivity into your life.

Pain Management

As science continues to prove that there is a strong link between the mind and the body, we begin to see that pain is not only felt physically but also mentally. Hypnotherapy can really help control and manage pain by engaging with the subconscious mind.

Infertility

The longing to bring a new life into the world can be all consuming and quickly take over completely. Infertility can be extremely stressful on you and your partner. Hypnotherapy helps by taking away this tension and equipping you with inner strength and making you feel more in control.

Hypnobirthing

The route to a natural and positive birth
Hypnobirthing is my speciality and I am passionate about giving you all the knowledge and tools you require for a calm and natural delivery. Together we will learn a deep level of relaxation through hypnosis and also breathing techniques, visualisation and other ways to educate you towards feeling in control and ready for the journey ahead.
I recommend a course of around four sessions, but each person is different and will require a bespoke service. I welcome mothers from three months pregnant onwards and also run early pregnancy and "Any moment now" sessions. Each one is priced at £60 per hour including the initial session which lasts 1.5 hours.

EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT Explained
I am a fully qualified EFT practitioner and a big advocate for the technique. It is an extremely effective way of providing relief from a plethora of issues from fear to pain management. It works by tapping certain parts of the face and hands and therefore changing the energy flow around the body's meridian points. It has been labelled acupuncture without the needles.
I feel like it goes hand in hand with hypnotherapy, as it provides a quick solution and enables a client to become "unstuck" and so hypnotherapy can commence with an enhanced level of relaxation achieved.
