No not at all.  We work with what you are experiencing rather than a label.

Counselling usually works “top-down” — through talking, reflection, and exploring your story. That can be helpful, but often it doesn’t fully resolve how trauma is stored in the body and nervous system.

My approach works both top-down and bottom-up:

• Top-down through coaching, reframing, and building new patterns of thought and behaviour.
• Bottom-up through nervous system regulation, and embodied practices that release trauma at the root.

By combining both, you don’t just understand your trauma — you actually shift it in your mind and body, creating lasting transformation.

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) represents an innovative therapeutic approach that combines multiple established practices to create powerful, lasting change. Unlike other methods that focus on symptoms, RTT aims to identify and transform the root causes of issues, offering remarkable results in just a few sessions.

Although RTT incorporates hypnosis, it stands apart from conventional hypnotherapy in several key ways. First and foremost, RTT doesn’t rely solely on positive reinforcement or suggestion. Instead, it actively identifies when and how limiting beliefs formed, then works to transform them at their source.

Traditional hypnotherapy often focuses on symptom management, whereas RTT addresses the underlying causes. For instance, rather than simply suggesting that a client will feel less anxious, RTT explores why the anxiety exists in the first place, then reframes those core beliefs.

Moreover, RTT integrates elements from multiple therapeutic modalities, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for restructuring thought patterns

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) for reprogramming limiting beliefs

• Psychotherapy for understanding emotional trauma

• Traditional hypnotherapy for accessing the subconscious

Perhaps the most striking difference is the efficiency of RTT. Many people experience profound and lasting change in just 1-3 sessions , compared to traditional therapies that might require months or years of regular appointments.

Furthermore, RTT empowers clients by giving them tools and understanding to continue their transformation independently.  This client-centered approach fosters a sense of control and involvement that many traditional therapeutic methods lack.

First and foremost, hypnosis is completely safe when conducted by a trained professional. It’s important to understand that hypnosis is not a mysterious or magical process but rather a natural state of mind that we experience regularly in our daily lives. The brain simply shifts into a different mode of functioning where it becomes more receptive to positive suggestions.

Hypnotherapy is non-invasive and carries minimal risk. As one practitioner explains, “Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, it is completely safe, and nothing bad can happen to you. It is not Woo Woo or trickery, it’s a science.” Your subconscious mind is designed to protect you and will not allow you to do anything harmful or against your best interests.

Many potential clients hesitate before trying Rapid Transformational Therapy due to misconceptions about hypnosis. Let’s address the most common concerns that arise when considering this therapeutic approach.

Most clients achieve their desired results in just one RTT session, though some may benefit from 2-3 sessions for complex issues. As Trauma is complex, allow up to 3 sessions. The key to lasting change is listening to your personalized recording daily for 21 days following your session, as this helps establish new neural pathways and permanent positive changes.
