Is your past still holding you back? Ready to do something about it?

Are you experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression or the unhelpful beliefs that they cause?

Do they limit your ability to fully live, love and work?

There are now a number of cutting-edge therapies that can effectively address these issues. You don't need to be held back by the past any more.

As a psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience, I use many of these therapies.

But the therapy I use most and recommend is TRTP: The Richards Trauma Process. Why?

TRTP is fast: three sessions within two weeks is usually enough to free yourself from past distress.

TRTP is safe: you don't need to talk about your past

TRTP is convenient: It is best done online - you can heal in the safety and convenience of your own home. (But you can come into my Newcastle office if you prefer!)

TRTP is effective: The success rate for the right people is very high. The results are generally permanent.

Plenty to love there, right!

Who is TRTP the right therapy for?

TRTP is for people who are willing to participate fully in their recovery. ie. Not everyone

While TRTP is a relatively easy process, it requires your active involvement to get best results.

Want to know more about TRTP?

The Richards Trauma Process is a powerful combination of some notable therapeutic modalities: cognitive therapies, mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches.

TRTP addresses your distress where it lives - in your subconscious mind - using the language of the subconscious mind: your imagination.

TRTP uses a strategy called 'Dynamic Re-imagining' to help you create more positive representations of your past that improve your mental and emotional functioning.

I also offer hypnotherapy services for a range of mental, emotional and behavioural challenges. Here is some information about hypnosis...

Clinical Hypnotherapy is natural

Clinical Hypnotherapy may sound mysterious, but it’s perfectly natural - the ‘trance’ that hypnotherapy generates is a safe, natural state that you are probably used to experiencing in your daily life. It’s similar to the absorbed state you sometimes find yourself in when watching a really good movie or daydreaming.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is safe

When you’re under Hypnosis, you’re always awake and in control. You will always know what is happening and you can’t be forced into doing anything you don’t want to do. You can move, open your eyes, get up, or speak at any time. Hypnotherapy is safe, most often relaxing, and you are okay to drive or work afterwards.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is powerful

Hypnosis can bring about potent change for many people. By harnessing the focused mental state, you are able to become more open to receiving helpful suggestions for change. Hypnosis also assists the embedding of those suggestions in the deeper, subconscious parts of your mind, allowing them to have greater impact.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is proven

Clinical trials have shown Hypnosis reduces the symptoms of a variety of physical and psychological conditions, including anxiety, stress and chronic pain. Although this is not a guarantee of success, it demonstrates that most people will experience some benefit from Hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy is easy to experience

Most people are able to be hypnotised to some useful depth. Most treatments need only a light trance to enable significant improvements. ‘Letting go’ and immersing yourself in the experience (as you do when you watch a film) is the key. Clinical Hypnosis achieves even greater outcomes if you are prepared to listen to the free recording of the session that I will give you regularly .

Hypnotherapy is not an ‘instant fix’

Many clients will experience improvements following just one session but up to four sessions of hypnotherapy will achieve the greatest benefits (some clients require more sessions, some less). Although it’s powerful, Hypnosis is not a ‘magic wand.’ It is still necessary to practice your new strategies, and to commit to taking long-term action for positive change.

It’s up to you

Still not sure? That’s okay – you have options. Feel free to ask questions online and over the phone, or discuss it with me at an appointment. If you don’t think it’s for you within the first 20 minutes of the session, you can opt for counselling alone (which also works well), or we can finish the session there and I will try to refer you to someone else, free of charge.

Hypnotherapy is about taking wise action

Regardless of how you decide to move forward, taking small, wise and committed actions is the answer. It is much easier to take that action with the support of a caring professional.
