My Approach to Helping

I have been doing one to one work with people since 1981. I use a combination of NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis applied to psychotherapy. My work focuses on the underlying patterns that are represented in the individuals problems and outcomes. I gather information about the outcomes and problem states and use metaphor, suggestion, tasks and instructions to support both the clients conscious attention and unconscious mind in achieving their desired results. With my particular style that I have been developing for over 25 years in private practice, I encourage and assist my clients in developing and enhancing the relationship between their conscious attention and their unconscious mind. With the appropriate definition of roles for conscious and unconscious minds, alignment in outcomes and intentions, clients become capable of tremendous change and progress. My understanding of the process of psychotherapy draws in large part from discoveries in the cognitive sciences over the last few years.
