Counselling & Hypnotherapy
The two primary paths we take:
Professional Counselling Support.
The model is Person Centred Approach — (PCA) sometimes called Rogerian after its founder, Carl Rogers. At its core is the promotion of respect for the client, empathy towards them and their situation, and a genuineness of response to them from the counsellor. Active listening and reflecting by the counsellor leads to a greater self awareness, which in turn promotes self worth and confidence within the client. The PCA seems very simple in description, and in some respects it is, however please do not underestimate its usefulness and therapeutic healing power when embraced.
Professional Hypnotherapy
All hypnosis is self hypnosis!
This is true. The hypnotherapy practiced at Salford Therapy is very person-centred, focusing gently but dynamically on the resolution of the issue or issues which are blighting your life. For example it may be a lack of confidence, which in turn stresses you out at work which leads to pressures at home which lead to conflict, anxiety and depression.
Identifying and Resolving Problems in Your Life:
We look at the solution to the problem and focus on that aspect, to powerfully and meaningfully change the quality of your life. Very often, the problem is simple to identify: I want to stop smoking, stop biting my nails, stop being scared of heights, spiders, aeroplanes, or water.
Other times there is a wish to improve your performance at work or in sports, or your health and general well being. Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for assisting the personal development and well being of clients.
Counselling and Hypnotherapy Combined
It is at times appropriate to combine counselling and hypnotherapy, they are two very potent and practical tools to assist you the client. On the face of it, two contrasting skills and disciplines, however, I feel they very much complement each other. The skills and lessons learned in counselling enable a genuine insight to the underlying issues and concerns of clients. The directness of the hypnotherapy allows healing/change to be active. The combination of the two, forms a powerful alliance when applied considerately.
