Feeling Myself Again – Stress Reduced
Before meeting Chris I was kind of lost. I have started to find myself again. And I feel more safe because I know that she is there to clear my positive pictures back to my path again.

Thank You Chris. Losing Weight Now
My main concern was my ability to control my mind from wanting to endlessly eat, cravings for sweet and fattening foods and absolute aversion to sticking to any form of diet. I understood that my mind needs to be trained for any weight loss program to be effective. I am thankful to Chris for her therapeutic sessions which seem to be working well.

Hey Look! I’m a Non-Smoker Now!
I went to see Chris wanting to be a non-smoker as it was my pastime. Smoking was fun but it was time to be like a non-smoker and enjoy living a healthy life style with leaving smoking behind me. I left the sessions immediately feeling more confident, happy, and with a sense of achievement, excited about the journey of being a non-smoker!

Easy To Talk To and It’s Working
I came to Chris for help with weight loss. Chris was very easy to talk to and be open with and I never felt judged or criticised. I feel confident that with the tools Chris has given me and lots of hard work I can change my habits.

Make the Commitment to Improve Your Life Now. It's the Most Important Step You'll Take
01
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration. When you’re under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and are more open to suggestions.
Hypnosis can be used to help you gain control over undesired behaviors or to help you cope better with anxiety or pain. It’s important to know that although you’re more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you don’t lose control over your behavior.
02
Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT is a simple yet remarkable healing system that reduces the stress that underlies much disease. It has proven successful in many scientific studies. It works on a variety of health issues, psychological problems, and performance issues, even those that have been resistant to other methods. It can be learned and applied rapidly, which has contributed to its popularity among millions of people.
03
SleepTalk® for children
SleepTalk® for Children is a self- esteem program for children, where we teach parents to empower their children while they sleep. The process is safe, ethical, positive, and only takes few minutes a day. It builds on the underlying self-esteem of the child resulting in behaviour changes. Your child will have more emotional confidence, resilience against negative suggestions and will be happier thus leading to happier families. This is a process for every parent who has experienced difficulty with parenting their child, but also for parents simply looking for a simple yet effective way to help their child build self-confidence and resilience for the rest of her life.
04
NLP counseling
Many clients enjoy their counselling sessions where the focus is on setting realistic goals to be achieved by the end of three sessions. After that clients may contract for a further three sessions with different or more advanced goals. This is called Brief Therapy. If you are not sure what your goals are, I use a variety of techniques to help you get clear.
Clients come to me for assistance with many life challenges such as stress relief, quit smoking, weight loss, childhood trauma, other traumas such as anger and sadness, family issues and other relationship difficulties
