About Me
Hello, my name is EJ, I am a Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist who has a background in Psychotherapy (Counselling), Wellbeing and Mental Health, based in the North of Scotland. I provide a friendly, relaxed, supportive, and safe environment where we can begin working collaboratively from the outset, whether online or face-to-face at my business premises in Banff and Buckie.
Some clients prefer online sessions because they can relax in the comfort of their own home and I have clients based around different locations in the UK.
Background
I worked in the Military for 25-years and during this period encountered some individuals with Mental Health (MH) issues such as PTSD, high anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation.
As part of my return to civilian life, I qualified as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and worked as a volunteer with Cruise Bereavement for 2.5 years. I then studied at Robert Gordons University for three years and qualified as Mental Health Nurse.
In my job as Wellbeing Advisor, I worked with students and used the relaxation part of the hypnotherapy session to support them. After several weeks there was a noticeable increase in their confidence, reduction in anxiety/stress and increase in their self-esteem.
People have said they like my friendly, relaxed, approach as well as my caring, compassionate, down to earth qualities.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
I had always been fascinated with the brain and in 2023 decided it was the right time to further my studies, so started training with the in Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT) in Edinburgh.
The course was an in-depth course, governed by a regulating body and ranked as the “Gold Standard” for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy training courses.
I qualified in June 2024 with a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, became a member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH) and adhere to their strict code of conduct.
Since starting my training, I have been able to help individuals with an array of issues such as Stress Management, Insomnia, Anxiety, Weight Management, OCD, Food Phobia, Chronic Pain Management, Smoking Cessation, Pain Management, Exam stress and many more.
I like to practice what I preach and have also undertaken Hypnotherapy for my personal development and to fully understand and appreciate when working with clients.
