Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear and anxiety are some of the most common emotions that we experience and lead to either short or long periods when we are not able to be at our best and at the worst we may find ourselves in a place where it is hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
At More Than Therapy you can explore how you can get back on track through understanding your emotions and developing coping strategies to manage these emotions and to achieve a better mental wellbeing.
PTSD & Trauma
Depression & Anxiety
Depression & Anxiety
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events.
At More Than Therapy I have developed a unique approach to PTSD which is using ‘emotive walking therapy’ which makes the use of connecting to the outdoors through sessions held outside. In working with trauma, the most effective way forward is to reconnect to the present and this individualised program has had very effective results.
Addiction
Depression & Anxiety
Bereavement
Addiction is less about giving up something and more about gaining something, that something is a more meaningful, authentic and connected life. Addiction takes things, recovery gives them back, including self-esteem, love for and from self and others, meaning, passion, ability to deal with life’s challenges, healing and hope.
At More Than Therapy you are guided back to recovery and supported as you take the first steps and ongoing support to give you the best opportunity to continue your recovery and claim back your life.
Bereavement
Relationships
Bereavement
Bereavement is a natural but painful response to loss and everyone’s experience of grief and bereavement is unique. Despite its necessity grief can be painful beyond words, it reminds us of how fragile life is and how vulnerable we are and can make life seem meaningless.
At More Than Therapy you will have the space and time to talk about your loss and find your own way to grieve and to adapt to your loss while keeping your own way of remembering your loved one as you rebuild Hypnotherapy is a highly effective form of psychotherapy that uses the state of hypnosis to bypass the critical conscious mind and communicate directly with the unconscious or subconscious mind.

Relationships
Relationship counselling can be beneficial to both individuals and couples looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationships or in looking for new relationships. Therapy sessions are tailored to work with the issues presented but in enabling transparency and honesty give the opportunity to build trust in the ability to have a healthy relationship with one’s self and then with our partner of choice. The sessions encourage self-reflection, effective communications and dedicating time for relationships.
At More Than Therapy there is a supportive place to discuss issues and work towards solutions to strengthen & in some cases rebuild relationships.

Integrated therapy
I practice integrative therapy, which means I draw from a variety of approaches i.e.
- CBT (Cognitive Based Therapy)
- Psychodynamic Approach
- Trauma Based CBT
- CFT (Compassionate Focused Therapy)
This enables me to provide a tailored approach in working towards your desired outcomes. My sessions provide a safe place for you to explore your issues and give you the space to understand the experiences that have shaped you as an individual or as a couple.
Hypnotherapy
I am also a trained clinical hypnotherapist and offer my clients hypnosis to alleviate a variety of physical and psychological symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks and phobias.
Hypnotherapy is a highly effective form of psychotherapy that uses the state of hypnosis to bypass the critical conscious mind and communicate directly with the unconscious or subconscious mind. The unconscious controls all of the autonomic processes that you don't have to think about - the heart rate, the blood pressure, tissue growth, cell regeneration, the immune system and so on. It is also where our thoughts, memories and accumulated experience reside which shape how we respond to our emotions, form our habits and our responses to the world.
Hypnosis works by bypassing the critical conscious mind (usually through deep relaxation), and speaking directly to the unconscious in a language which it understands - pattern, association and metaphor that it is familiar with.
Using hypnotherapy, we can gain insight into the reasons behind our limiting behaviours, and make lasting positive changes. For example, an irrational fear may stem from a long-forgotten experience, or one that had more significance unconsciously than you realise at a conscious level. Once we have found its cause, we can work with your unconscious mind directly to replace or modify the maladaptive response.
Remember, your unconscious mind always does what it believes is best for you at all times, but of course it makes mistakes and these mistakes can be costly.
Hypnotherapy allows us to offer a different perspective and promote positive and healthier alternatives. At More Than Therapy through an individualised approach and a thorough exploration of the issues a program of hypnotherapy will be developed and delivered to ‘reprogram’ you’re thinking and achieve the agreed goals. Hypnotherapy is used effectively for anxiety disorders, phobias, insomnia, hypnobirthing and some addictions such as smoking.
