Counselling

Toni initially trained and qualified as a Person Centred Counsellor, studying a method of counselling created by Carl Rogers. This method involves counsellors providing you, as a client, with the three ‘Core Conditions' of congruence, total acceptance and empathy, and being with you at whatever stage you are, at any given time. During person centred counselling, your counsellor will listen to intently and empathically, and help you to unravel what is going on in your mind, and in your life, reflecting to you what she is not only hearing, but seeing and sensing.

Psychotherapy

Many people's image of a psychotherapist working with a client, is of the client lying on a couch and going back to infancy, Freudian style. There are in fact many different types of Psychotherapy, including Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Psycho Analysis, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Some of these methods do involve reliving the past, and as with counselling, can be a very long and drawn out process.

The word ‘Psychotherapy' literally means ‘therapy of the mind (psycho/psyche)' and as I want to help you let go of your problems and feel better as quickly as possible, the type of Psychotherapy I can provide you with will include the highly effective, fast working methods of Hypnotherapy, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping.)

EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as Tapping, is a simplified version of acupuncture which you can easily and painlessly use on yourself to set yourself free from emotional and physical pain. Qualified EFT therapist can help you get to the root of any issues and tap them away, using EFT Tapping in Cheshire and Manchester.
EFT works on anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, IBS, phobias, insomnia, weight control, smoking cessation, limiting beliefs, pain, allergies, high blood pressure, indigestion, and all types of illness or injury. The combination of EFT Tapping and mental focus releases both the energy block and the problem it causes. No matter what they worry about, people of all ages, including small children, can change their minds from stressed to relaxed and improve their health and happiness, usually in less time than it takes to read this article.'

NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming can help you to make fast effective changes to the way that you think, feel, act and react. Neuro refers to the brain and nervous system. Linguistic refers to language, or how you communicate with yourself, and with others, both verbally and non-verbally. Programming refers to the programmes you are running in your mind.
NLP was developed in California in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, and based on the work of hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, Gestalt therapist Fritz Perls, and family therapist Virginia Satir. It was the first model of therapy to focus on positive change and moving forward, rather than looking back at the past and where problems had stemmed from. NLP is widely used to achieve self-development in personal life, and success in business.

Hypnotherapy

Clinical Hypnotherapy is a fast and effective method of therapy which involves the use of hypnosis, enabling you to access the power of your subconscious mind and dissolve the blocked emotions and negative limiting beliefs and behaviours which lie behind your physical, mental and emotional problems.

No hypnotherapist has the power to ‘put you into a trance'. All hypnosis is actually self hypnosis, as it's essential that you allow yourself to enter this state of total relaxation, while being guided into it by your hypnotherapist.

During Hypnotherapy, whilst in a state of hypnosis, your subconscious mind is open to accepting positive suggestions and visualisations which will create new empowering beliefs and behaviours, helping you to make the changes you want to make and to reach your full potential.

Just like an iceberg, which is mostly hidden beneath the surface, around 90-95% of your mind is subconscious and hidden from your awareness. This part of your mind stores every memory of every experience you have ever had, and many of these past memories and childhood experiences are causing you to act and react in ways which seem irrational to your conscious mind. Hypnotherapy works by helping your subconscious mind to release unhelpful, outdated messages, and reach your full potential.
