I couldn't recommend Theresa highly enough. After five in-depth sessions, I have a solid foundation of new skills to help me better manage my PTSD and depression. Theresa is genuine, non-judgemental, and takes the time to understand what you need. I now have a better understanding of my emotions, triggers, and responses, and have walked away with strategies that I know work. This therapy has allowed me to be a fully functioning dad and husband again. Theresa has genuinely helped me find a place of calm amongst the chaos, for which I'm incredibly grateful.

Clinical hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to address problems or concerns in a therapeutic setting.
Strategic hypnotherapy is a powerful technique that combines hypnosis and therapy to help individuals overcome challenges and achieve their goals. By accessing the subconscious mind, strategic hypnotherapy allows for deep transformation and personal growth.
Strategic Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand and manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Through one-on-one sessions with a trained psychotherapist, clients can explore their concerns, gain insights, and develop effective coping strategies. This is different from other forms of psychotherapy as it is focused on the perceptual filters that clients have developed throughout their life. In showing clients how to change those filters, the possibility of change becomes a reality.

Unlike the hypnosis shown on television and in movies, clinical hypnosis does not involved you doing anything against your will. In fact the power of clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy comes from the client making their own choices from the suggestions that the therapist provides.
A Clinical Hypnotherapist uses hypnosis to achieve a state of mental, physical and emotional relaxation. When in this state, the conscious mind (that busy, critical, analytical part of the mind) takes a rest. Hypnosis allows people to tap into the information that lies in the subconscious mind and make positive changes to thought patterns, habits or behaviours that are having a negative mental or physical impact.
The experience of hypnosis will be different for each client. For some, it is a heightened awareness; for others, a profound relaxation. Sometimes the client hears every word the hypnotist says, and other times the voice fades in and out or becomes completely inaudible. In strategic hypnotherapy and clinical hypnosis the client is always free to alter the hypnotic experience or awaken at will.
Hypnosis is a normal, naturally occurring, healthy state of mind. There are no known documented cases of clinical hypnosis resulting in harm. (Analysis of known studies.)
Hypnosis feels like complete physical and mental relaxation. Everyone will experience it differently, based on their own circumstances. It has been likened to daydreaming, or the state of mind just before drifting off to sleep. The hypnotic state of relaxation allows the busy mind to quieten, and the stored resources of the unconscious mind to be accessed and used to create new pathways.
