If you are looking at our website because you are experiencing difficulties at the moment and are wondering where you can go to find help, we hope that the following information will be useful.

What we aim to offer everyone who comes to us is a readiness to listen and understand without pretending to know what is best for you. We believe that you are more likely to resolve personal problems if you are given the opportunity to explore them with someone who can be trusted to respect confidences and accept you for who you are. We also believe that feeling understood, supported and safe can free you to grow and develop your own potential and to feel more positive about yourself and others. Working out your own solutions to problems can then seem more possible.

We are also able to offer you hypnotherapy either on its own or in conjunction with counselling. As a qualified hypno-psychotherapist, Sandy has found this natural and age-old therapy to be helpful for certain people with certain problems, especially when practised in a person-centred way. Where appropriate and where someone wishes to, the ability to reach into the subconscious can be deeply beneficial.

If this person-centred approach is one which you feel would suit you, we would be very happy to hear from you, either to discuss any queries or to arrange an initial consultation.
