Methods we are using:

We make use of a modern form of hypnotherapy, compared to traditional hypnotherapy, which has a significantly higher success rate. Our techniques are influenced by the late Dr. Milton Erickson, a well known and successful Psychiatrist in America who used a variety of techniques to successfully treat patients. This form is found to have a much greater result in therapeutic behavioural change.

NLP was created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. It involves the connection between your neurological processes (how we perceive the world), language (how we communicate) and programming (habitual patterns which determines how we operate in the world). NLP as a therapeutic tool is used to change these patterns and processes in order to achieve a particular goal. NLP is known as a successful treatment of depression, phobias, and anxiety, as well as a development tool in corporate businesses for leadership training.

Hypnosis by itself is merely a relaxed state of focused attention, a natural, healthy state of mind.

We use hypnosis as the vehicle to provide therapy to get an outcome for our client. There is a world of a difference between what we do and what stage hypnotists do, which has no therapeutic outcome or any healing effect whatsoever.

That moment in the morning when you wake up and can hear the sounds around you but you are not fully aware yet, or when you drive back home and when you get there you realise you cannot remember half the road because you were in deep thought, that is examples of natural occurring hypnosis states. Daydreaming is another form of self hypnosis. If you have experienced anything like this you can be hypnotised.

Strategic Psychotherapy used with hypnosis as the vehicle to deliver the therapy is a highly affective method with a faster outcome rate than without.
Psychotherapy is a talk therapy combining a variety of techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). It is used as a psychological treatment for a variety of mental health challenges. Strategic psychotherapy asks “how do you do that” and not “why do you do that” in order to change behaviour to give you a different outcome than before.

Conditions Treated

Popular conditions and challenges include anxiety, phobias, low self-confidence, depression, binge drinking, fear of flying, addictions, gambling, habit changes, work stress, covid stress, pain management, quitting smoking, procrastination and more.

Let’s first look at what anxiety is. Anxiety is the fear of the unknown and is characterised by feelings of worry or fear. Phobias are classified as a type of anxiety.

Anxiety and phobias can be crippling, causing you to live a restricted existence in which you must avoid specific activities or objects owing to an extreme fear surrounding them.

Anxiety, in essence, is a stress reaction. Our body responds in the ‘fight or flight’ way and also releases hormones that increase our heart and breathing rate and ready your muscles to respond to that stress.

Strategic Psychotherapy is a highly effective treatment for anxiety and focuses on patterns of behaviour, the “how” and not the “why”, it aims to replace unhelpful behaviours with more useful ones.

Hypnosis is a potent tool to utilise as a vehicle for anxiety treatment and the rapid and long-term cultivation of desirable behaviours.

Stress can make you feel emotional or lead to physical tensions, which can come from an event or a thought and make you feel frustrated, nervous or angry.

We understand PTSD can become highly crippling. We want to provide you a different future, free of the past.

Hypnosis is a highly effective tool to use to provide anxiety treatment and create useful behaviours fast and long-lasting, giving you control back.

We believe this is the most effective COVID stress management solution, and we have helped people like you successfully combat stress.

It certainly can, Covid stress is a very real concern since the pandemic in 2020 and can develop in a restrictive life.  You may not even feel like leaving you house or going into areas where there is a lot of people. Anxiety is the fear of the unknown, something that is perceived that may or may not happen in the future.  With hypnosis combined with psychotherapy we can successfully give you tools to assess the risk, make distinctions between real and perceived threat by giving you the control.

Depression symptoms can make you feel helpless, like there is no future and you are no longer in control. Medication like antidepressants can have so many side effects and in some cases do not even make a difference.

Strategic Psychotherapy is a highly effective treatment for depression and focusses on patterns of behaviour, the “how” and not the “why”, it aims to replace unhelpful behaviours with more useful ones. We also focus on the future and no so much the past as the past is where it belongs already.

We want you to have a different future, after all your past does not predict your future and the best way to predict you future is by creating it. Hypnosis is a highly effective tool to use as a vehicle to provide antidepressant treatment in order to create useful behaviours fast and long lasting, giving you back a future filled with possibilities.

We believe this is the most effective treatment to break free from depression.

Have you tried stopping but you just cannot seem to give it up? You know you want to stop but you feel like you cannot, that it controls you but you cannot figure out why? You may have tried nicotine patches or medication but the side effects made you feel awful? We have a proven track record of helping clients quit smoking using Hypnotherapy.

Examples of challenges we can help you with (not limited to):

Anxiety is probably one of the most widespread conditions in the world and a very unpleasant experience especially if has escalated to the point of panic attacks. With natural anxiety therapy, let’s reclaim control and put you back in the driver’s seat.

Prolonged stress can lead to burn out which is a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion as well as other symptoms like IBS, difficulty sleeping (insomnia), muscle pain, irritability and inability to manage anger.  Learning how to cope with stress is key and we can help.

We all find various ways to combat stress or pressure and yes there are other more useful and perhaps healthy ways of doing that. We have had experience with smoking and have successfully quit using hypnosis.

The future, like a soccer game or a new job, is an unexpected place, but the truth is that growth occurs in the unknown areas of our lives, just as it did when you were a baby and couldn’t walk.

The pandemic has been a worrisome event for many, questions like “what if I contract the virus?”, “what if my family does?” are popular concerns. It is a fear response to fight or freeze or somewhere in between.  We can help you to deal with your response to the pandemic with the full range of EcoMindz techniques.

It can be frustrating wanting to move forward but not having all the steps or knowledge, we can help you put that into perspective and get focus and direction back.

The good news is, you have taken the first step in creating your future and achieving results. Let’s work together to find the “how” of making your goals happen as well as discover our most important values and belief systems. Let’s use NLP life coaching combined with psychotherapy to get you where you want to be.

That emotion might be debilitating, but there is good news: let’s work together to reclaim control of your life.

Negative self-talk and thoughts are both unpleasant and damaging.
