Let me start by telling you a bit about myself, so that you can understand who I am before we begin working together, as the Client-Therapist relationship is crucial to the success of any therapy. It is a collaboration of two individuals and the positive synergy between US is essential. We need to ‘fit’. You need to feel safe with me. To feel that I understand you and to know that you can trust me implicitly.
I grew up in the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong raised by my Mother, a single parent. Left alone for much of my childhood, I became a practised but naive protege of a life without structure and all that it had to teach me. Not ideal, but certainly colourful. I am familiar with the fear of self doubt, the sad world of loneliness, the pain of unresolved emotional wounds, the confusion of absent love and the damage that childhood neglect can have. I was left alone for long periods of time and I struggled with my identity: being of mixed ethnicity, of low income and without a father figure in my life. It has been instrumental however, to my lifelong search into understanding human nature and the motivators that drive us. Life is full of challenges, but once we understand ourselves well, we are able to make the changes necessary and to be the driving force.
Despite my painful personal struggles, I entered the corporate world of business in my 20’s and although it has been a challenge, I have been a successful business owner for over 30 years. I believe that a large part of my success can be attributed to my understanding of, and love for people. What commonalities connect us and what fears divide us. I treasure engaging with souls on the deepest level. Of sharing with others. Of celebrating our diversity whilst honouring our differences in the process. Undergoing therapy myself has allowed me to unravel my own trauma piece by piece, and I have come to understand myself much better whilst going through the healing process. It has been quite a journey, but it has also been an absolute adventure! I love embracing my imperfections and I reflect upon my past without regret.
The passage of time, the vast spectrum of events and decades of personal introspection have equipped me with a profound understanding of ‘The Self’. Experience and the process of personal growth have fostered a depth of compassion and empathy within me. I feel profoundly privileged by and drawn to, helping others conquer their challenges. I provide a safe place to explore any issue. Big or small. Emotional or Physical. Allowing us to facilitate change. I am passionate and committed to helping anyone who is struggling. I am here to support you and to guide you gently along on the journey that we call ‘Life’.
I am an easy going and bubbly, optimistic believer in the good in everyone and in everything. I love laughter and life and living it to its fullest. I embrace every opportunity and believe that we are all here with a divine purpose. I could be described as “quirky-in-a-good-way”, and I’m ok with that, since we are all unique! I am a “People Person”, and you will immediately feel safe, relaxed and at ease in my company. Ultimately everyone wants to fulfil their highest, truest potential and I am here to help you to do just that.
Do you want to take your life to the next level? To remove the blocks that have prevented you from moving forward and living your best life? Are you shut down due to past trauma, anxiety and suppressed emotions? I want to take you from a contracted state of surviving to one of expansion and thriving.
Hypnosis helps you to tap into your inherent power. When you are in a relaxed state, transformation is extremely effective. Once we can identify the source of your negative beliefs, we can effectively change these. It facilitates increased self awareness and it offers a vastly improved way of living life.
Hypnosis is a highly focused, yet extremely relaxed state of awareness. You’ll be completely conscious and alert throughout the Session, however we will be able to access the subconscious part of your mind, which is highly receptive to positive suggestion.
Hypnosis can help you to change habits, reduce pain, increase motivation, recover from physical and mental illness, eliminate fears and remove anxiety and stress. Its applications are endless. Once we change our thoughts and beliefs, the transformation is phenomenal.
Just as your mind can quickly acquire a negative belief, your mind can also learn a new response to an old stimulus very quickly. The brain is lightning fast and it is receptive to change due to its neuroplasticity.
You cannot be hypnotized against your will because hypnosis is a consensual state. However, anyone who is willing to follow instructions and who is wanting to make changes is a good candidate for this type of Therapy. It works best when you are really committed to change. If a person is comfortable with the process and knows what to expect, it is surprisingly easy.
Everyone has the potential to be hypnotised because it’s a natural, normal state that each of us experiences at least twice a day – upon waking and falling asleep. You are in a light state of hypnosis anytime that you lose track of time or when you find your mind lost in thought. It’s a form of daydreaming.
Hypnosis is a deeply relaxed state of mind. Some clients feel a light sensation as if they are floating; some feel grounded and secure; others feel a light buzzing; most feel incredibly focused. The experience is different for everyone, but it is a completely safe process.
Hypnosis is a very light, yet extremely effective state of awareness that can be used for the client to understand the source of their issues. At no point do you lose control. You will remain conscious at all times and you do not surrender your will. Hypnotherapy facilitates and shines the light on these areas of concern and you will be guided to make profound breakthroughs.
As Hypnosis speaks directly to your subconscious mind, it is able to by-pass your conscious, critical thoughts. Your mind is free to become aware of thoughts and patterns that you didn’t realise existed. Powerful breakthroughs and insights can be achieved in one single session as this heightened concentration increases your receptivity to suggestions.
Hypnosis is an outstanding therapy tool, as it deals directly with your subconscious and your belief system. It taps into the power of the subconscious mind where your memories and emotions are stored. Results are quick, profound and long lasting.
Hypnotherapy is just as effective when conducted on a Virtual Chat. The Subconscious mind is not selective about its environment, nor the conduit through which it is accessed. In fact, most clients prefer the comfort, privacy and ease of having a Session conducted remotely.
Your mind will remember everything that is relevant to remember during your Session – small trivial comments could be forgotten. You will be fully aware of who you are, where you are and remember what happened during a Hypnosis Session.
