Trauma can affect people in different ways and to different degrees. Whether you were involved in, or witness to a traumatic incident, or even a professional or service person trained to operate in such situations, you may be struggling to cope with memories or flashbacks, loss of sleep, feelings of guilt, anxiety or depression. This will impact on the quality of your life. EMDR is particularly effective at overcoming trauma.

It is felt now that childhood trauma- even if these trauma’s may seem insignificant has a big impact upon our growth and the way we see and relate to the world, as well as the way we perceive ourselves. These perceptions can lead to emotional problems which can be resolved through processing the trauma.

Phobias are very common – up to 1 in 10 of us will be affected by a phobia at some point in our lives – and they can take many forms. Some of the most common are:

• Dentists
• Spiders
• Fear of flying
• Dentists
• Certain animals
• Water
• Public speaking and other Social Phobias
• Trypanophobia (Injections)

• Overcoming anxiety disorders and panic

Anxiety and panic are part of the body’s natural response to danger – also known as the ‘fight or flight’ response. We can all experience some degree of anxiety at the thought of a future event or when faced with upsetting or stressful situations. However, when a person becomes oversensitive to everyday occurrences, it can seriously impair the quality of their life.

Obsessive Compulsive disorder, health anxiety, social anxiety, perinatal anxiety are all examples of anxiety disorders that respond well to therapeutic treatment, in particular CBT.

Whilst IVF has an average success rate of 10-15% for clients with no specific problem, hypnosis alone has been found to have a success rate of 35-45%. This is likely to be because it deals directly with unconscious psychological issues that may be preventing pregnancy or carrying to term, and allows the brain to work with the body to enable a successful pregnancy.

Depression is a common condition that will affect one in three people at some time in their life. It is a complicated de-habilitating illness with many different symptoms and causes.

Changes in eating habits, sleeping patterns and overwhelming feelings of despair are often the first signs. Many sufferers become emotionally detached from those around them and withdraw into a world of their own. Some describe it like being in a prison with no windows or doors, which can alienate friends and relatives, increasing the isolation. CBT can be a very effective treatment for depression and is recommended by NICE.
