I'm a solution-focused hypnotherapist with additional psychotherapeutic training, who specialises in anxiety, adult ADHD/ADD, depression and emotional issues. My approach is informed by cutting-edge neuroscience, and it differs from other forms of traditional therapy in the deliberate use of altered mental states during which I can access unconscious parts of your brain and address the problem directly at its source. This means that I can work with you more effectively and you can see positive results much quicker. My model of therapy is progressive and adopts the most rapid and dynamic strategies from modern schools of talking therapies and combines them with the use of clinical hypnosis and mindfulness (MBSR and MBCT). My therapeutic approach feels very natural as I tailor my methods to work with your specific needs. I weave psychotherapeutic techniques in our conversations, and through practical and experiential learning you will absorb new skills that will help you achieve focus, healthy emotion regulation and balanced mental states in difficult situations. If you’re feeling confused, sad, lost or stuck, your mind is racing most of the time and you cannot complete any task, please reach out to me. I can help you get your life back on track!

About Positive Mind Clinic
I'm a specialist in treating stress, anxiety, emotional dysregulation and negative traits of adult ADHD.
I believe that you can conquer these stumbling unconscious blocks naturally with a new and innovative approach to therapy. I focus only on practical solutions and I integrate the most effective strategies from modern talking therapies (CBT, ACT, SFBT, Gestalt) with the latest research from neuroscience, hypnosis and mindfulness so that within few weeks you will notice genuine and positive changes in your mental, emotional and physical well-being.
My therapeutic approach feels very natural and I weave psychotherapeutic techniques in our conversations, so you won’t experience endless form filling or laborious explanations of a hypothetical theory of human behaviour. I tailor my methods to work with your specific needs and teach you how you can quickly achieve and experience healthy emotion regulation and balanced mental states in difficult situations.
Throughout my career, I successfully helped many people with challenges that we all face today – chronic stress, anxiety, panic attacks, low confidence and self-esteem, emotional or binge eating, fear of failure, motivation, sleep problems, poor boundaries and depression.
They acquired healthier habits and behaviours, achieved inner resilience to stress, psychological flexibility and capacity to think clearly and creatively in any given situation, and so can you! Through experiential learning, you will absorb skills quickly that are essential in coping better with difficulties without having to spend significant time learning complicated techniques.
If you think a tailored, bespoke approach is right for you and you’re ready to experience what better feels like, book your free, introductory session today.
