Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy utilises guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind, enabling positive behavioural changes. It addresses phobias, anxiety, and stress by reframing negative thought patterns. Our approach combines hypnotherapy with REBT for lasting, evidence-based results.
CBT Counselling
CBT Counselling identifies and modifies unhelpful cognitive patterns to improve emotional regulation. It treats depression, anxiety, and stress through structured, goal-oriented sessions. Our integration with hypnotherapy enhances therapeutic outcomes for long-term mental well-being.
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety Treatment employs REBT and hypnotherapy to challenge irrational fears and develop coping strategies. Tailored sessions reduce symptoms of panic, phobias, and generalised anxiety, empowering clients to regain control and confidence.
Phobia Resolution
Phobia Resolution targets irrational fears through desensitisation techniques and cognitive restructuring. Single-session treatments, like those for arachnophobia, have demonstrated rapid, lasting efficacy under Robin Thorburn's expertise.
Online Therapy
Online Therapy provides accessible mental health support via Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp. Suitable for global clients, it maintains the same rigorous standards as in-person sessions, ensuring flexibility without compromising quality or confidentiality.
