1. Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) eye movements are multidirectional and traverse the entire visual field, targetting all modalities (visual, emotional and visceral) for more effective trauma memories reorganisation. 2. MEMI doesn’t require clients to tell their trauma story. 3. MEMI includes strategic verbal prompts to stimulate down regulation of emotions and the reorganisation of sensory distortions. 4. Cognitive distortions resolve in response to the desensitisation of the somatic and sensory reactions to experienced traumas. 5. Case studies, clinical tests and behavioural responses to treatment have demonstrated that MEMI therapy consistently desensitises trauma related images, somatic feelings and emotional responses during and after treatment.

No, not in a therapy setting. There is a misconception that the hypnotist holds control over the client’s actions and thoughts which stems from TV shows and other entertainment. In such scenario, the participants are carefully handpicked and are selected based on their willingness and confidence to participate and those that don’t mind looking a little ridiculous in front of an audience. Hypnosis in a therapy setting is a guided form of relaxation that is a very pleasant and comforting state, which makes therapy that much more effective. Be assured that the client always remains in control. In fact, during hypnosis you can ignore hypnotherapist’s suggestions or even get up and leave the room. The aim of clinical hypnotherapy is to help clients, not to dominate them. Please be reassured that you are in safe and very capable hands when you decide to work with me.

Most hypnosis focuses on guided visualisations to calm you down but while imagining blue ocean or enchanted forest may be pleasant and bring temporary relief, it doesn’t address the core pillars of the issue and doesn’t teach you new skills. Same with script reading, one size fits all hypnosis, which won’t take your individual factors into account. Luckily, Strategic Hypnotherapy differs from other forms of hypnosis because it addresses the very pillars that create and sustain your problem. It also allows for the session to be personalised for you and thus that much more effective.

The focus of strategic psychotherapy is WHERE YOU ARE NOW, WHERE YOU’D LIKE TO BE and HOW WE BRIDGE that gap. Every problem we run is process based – stress is a process, anxiety is a process... During our sessions, I will look at your processes and patterns to identify what feeds the challenge you are presenting and strategically target them. Majority of problems people run, aren’t run consciously. Consciously, you know what you are doing is not helpful (anxiety, addictions, anger…), but you cannot seem to stop it. Just talking to you about it won’t help unless we can reach your unconscious mind, where the problem actually resides. This is why clinical hypnosis is so effective. The integration of hypnosis accelerates the therapeutic outcomes. This efficiency is especially beneficial for those seeking swift progress or those who feel stuck in traditional therapeutic models.
