Perhaps you'd like help to work on resolving various personal issues, build self-esteem and confidence, reduce stress, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. Or you might have a phobia you wish to overcome. Shine Brightly offers weight management strategies and smoking cessation.

​
Find your true potential, inner strength and create the life of your dreams.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful therapeutic tool, which affords you the time and space to become absorbed and deeply engaged in your own inner world. This is a valuable experience, as it allows you to uncover and access your own unique strengths and resources, which you may have been unaware you even had.
You can find information about other people's experiences of hypnosis, by clicking on "Hear What Others Say".
To the outside world you may look fine....But on the inside you may be feeling worried, stressed, overwhelmed and anxious.
Hypnotherapy and what to expect.
Hypnotherapy involves talking with the therapist about you and any challenges or difficulties you may be experiencing. Shine Brightly Hypnotherapy & Counselling uses a solution and goal focused approach. This approach involves the therapist asking a series of strategic questions to gain an understanding of you and the issues you may be facing.
This is not a process that focuses a great deal on your past or why things have happened. Rather, the goal is to assist you to find ways to manage your current situation more effectively. You will be supported as you gain a sense of control and direction. This is important as it allows you to develop and explore options for change. This process is enhanced with the use of clinical hypnotherapy or hypnosis.
What Is Hypnotherapy?
​
Hypnotherapy is nothing to be afraid of, you are in control the entire time.
Hypnotherapy is different from its cousin, stage hypnosis, there are no tricks involved. You can rest assure, Hypnotherapy is not like it's portrayed in movies, it does not involve any form of mind control, whatsoever. In fact, a qualified Hypnotherapist should only ever carry out hypnosis with your full consent.
What is Hypnosis?
​
Hypnosis is a process and a skill, similar to guided imagery, mindfulness or meditation but with the added bonus of focused attention. This means hypnosis can be used to achieve goals and/or make changes to unwanted behaviours, easily and effortlessly. During your session with me, you will learn how to enter and exit the hypnotic state with comfort and ease.
​
Hypnosis is a wonderful natural state, where time seems to pass by without notice. Examples of a natural hypnotic state might be, when you are daydreaming, gardening, exercising, playing music or captivated by nature or immersed in a good book or movie.
​
People often feel so calm and relaxed after a session of hypnosis that they want to remain in that pleasant space.
