I have now retired but will continue to keep this web site live as a resource in case it is helpful to people. Due to my recent experience I am now adapting it to be helpful for people who have received a life limiting diagnosis like cancer. I am also raising funds for Prof Gourley to carry out research in Edinburgh University for Low Grade Serous Carcinoma ovarian cancer ( currently not funded by the main cancer charities as it is a rare one).
I have a specific interest as I have been diagnosed with this. All people have problems at some time in their lives, anything from difficulties with relationships, low self esteem, wanting to quit smoking, to weight problems, lack of confidence, phobias (dentists, flying, dogs, or certain foods) and of course a life limiting diagnosis like cancer.
It is recognised more these days that anxiety and stress plays an enormous role in our lives and how important it is to manage it for our longer term health and well-being. It is especially important for people with cancer to try to reduce the amount of stress they experience as this can exacerbate the spread of the disease.

In its strongest manifestation it can cause you to lack the belief that you can be in control of your life or of your reactions to situations or even of your physical responses to them.
You may feel unworthy and incompetent, blind to your good points, haunted by past mistakes and the possibility of making future ones.
You find it hard to handle criticism & you're reluctant to ask for what you want from others.
Low self-esteem can take a toll on the quality of your life.
Judging and rejecting yourself can be so painful that you avoid anything that might aggravate that pain.

A major goal of hypnosis & counselling is to improve both your self-esteem and your self confidence.
If you truly believe in your own abilities, and feel comfortable with who you truly are, you will find it much easier to persuade other people of them.
Feeling good about yourself will have an enormous impact in all areas of your life, from improving your relationships with colleagues, family & friends, to helping to persuade clients to buy products, increase your chances of climbing the career ladder and even helping you to have a successful love life.

Many people have fears and phobias which can include fear of public speaking, flying, spiders, heights, being a passenger in a car, train journeys, claustrophobia and fear of social interaction, amongst others.
I have helped many clients whose fears and phobias have been dramatically improved, sometimes relatively quickly.
Using hypnotherapy alone, some phobic reactions can often be improved within three to five sessions.
Some people respond even more positively to psychotherapy and counselling due to the phobia being a learned behaviour which may be ingrained and automatic often because of the influence of early role models, trauma or events.

Stress comes from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry or anxious.
Different people feel different amounts of stress in the same situations but it's often caused by your reaction to too much change- too fast.
Finding the right technique(s) for YOU personally is critical.
However, not all stress is unpleasant.
Many people thrive on the buzz they get from meeting exciting new challenges and they may only work effectively if they are nearing a deadline.

If you have one or more of these, you have Insomnia - which can cause problems during the day, such as excessive sleepiness, trouble thinking clearly or staying focused, or even feeling depressed or irritable.
The amount of sleep a person needs varies, but most people need between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a night- without it, the body becomes stressed and information isn't processed as effectively as it could be.
If you think you have insomnia, unless you are aware that it is entirely caused by stress or anxiety, please talk to your doctor first to eliminate any medical reasons like sleep apnea.
