The approach here is integrative: clinical hypnotherapy, NLP-informed reframing, regression where relevant, delivered inside a clear structure. It's not open-ended talking therapy — sessions are focused, and change is expected inside a sensible window.
How the therapy is structured
- Step 1
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 2
Address the driver
Using clinical hypnotherapy and, where useful, NLP-informed reframing, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 3
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
