Liz Macnamara

Clinical Hypnotherapist and Gestalt Psychotherapist

I am a clinical hypnotherapist with a Masters in Gestalt Psychotherapy and will bring both of these approaches to my work with you. Whether you want to understand what is going on inside you or make a change in your habits we will find the right balance of deep psycholical work, coaching and hypnosis to work with.

I really believe clients have a lot more insight into what will work for them than they know and will regularly check in with you that we are on the right track.

Types of Therapy On Offer

I provide a range of professional services to all of my clients, including:

• Stop smoking hypnosis
• Brief therapy for anxiety and depression
• Long-term therapy for trauma
• Weight loss hypnosis
• Medical Hypnosis

Smoking Cessation

I specialise in smoking cessation hypnosis and have great success with eight out of ten clients quitting after the first session. Much higher than any other method.

Unlike my other work smokers are offered a package of two sessions. The first is two hours and where you quit and the second a week later is to deal with anything that came up in the first week (like eating more ;), seal the work and focus on not taking it up again in the future. 

This two-session approach has been shown to be most effective over the long term.

Is Hypnotherapy Right For You?

Brief Therapy is particularly suited for fear based problems such as anxiety and phobias, whereas Medical Hypnosis is perfect for people who need relief from illnesses or to help tackle weight-loss or smoking habits.

If you have suffered extensive trauma around the issue then further sessions may be advised. In such cases the brief therapy program is an excellent foundation for more detailed work when you are ready and have the time.

What is Involved In a Hypnotherapy Session?

A brief therapy session involves the use of a range of Hynptherapy techniques, including:

Clearing the path - In our first (extended) session we will discuss the history of your problem and refine goals which are then instilled into your subconscious mind.

Tracing tracks - In following sessions we will use imagery and dialogue to heal the wounds underlying your old patterns.

Sealing the road - In our final session we direct your future while allowing for creative change.
