Hypnotherapy 

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. In a safe and supportive environment, I employ evidence-based techniques that integrate deep relaxation, guided imagery, and positive suggestions. This holistic approach allows you to explore your subconscious mind and make meaningful changes in your perceptions, sensations, and behaviours.

Psychotherapy 

In my practice, I offer various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Mindfulness. Each method is designed to support your mental health journey. CBT is a talk therapy that helps you manage overwhelming problems by altering your thought patterns and behaviours.

HypnoMenopause® 

Menopause can be a challenging time, marked by various physical and emotional symptoms. The transition, known as perimenopause, can last several years and often includes hot flushes, fatigue, and sleep disruptions. At Waterlily Therapy, I offer the HypnoMenopause® Approach to assist you during this period.
