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.

Going through menopause while caring for a teenager and elderly parent has been pretty stressful. Anxiety has been difficult to manage and I have found myself developing un-helpful habits.
Theresa's sessions are having an enormous impact. I'm finding it much easier to control my anxiety and challenge those pesky negative thoughts that are so destructive. Her methods are really working for me and I look forward to each appointment. The fact that I have been able to attend my appointments on line has been so helpful and convenient. She also provides me with useful techniques to practise daily and there's a recording sent of each hypnosis session so I can slip into an ultra-relaxed state whenever I want. Thank you Theresa and Navigating Calm.

Its hard to believe how effective this form of therapy is. I have found Theresa really listened to my issue, and was able to help me see how I could see things differently, and how, in a few sessions, I could make significant changes in my approach, and find a better way of being. She was able to help me shift some very difficult stuff I was going through. Gratitude and deep appreciation for finding a way for me to move on.

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.
