Welcome to the website for EasingMinds. I hope you find it useful.

EasingMinds is dedicated to helping people overcome emotional problems, harmful habits, and respond effectively to life’s daily stresses.

Depression and anxiety are major sources of pain and suffering. With one in four of the population suffering from depression and possibly on medication, EasingMinds mission is to treat such conditions and to teach skills to tackle and help prevent further relapses. Anxiety can manifest itself in many distressing symptoms such as physical ill health, harmful habits, panic attacks, phobia, obsessive compulsive behaviour, general and social anxiety and, as such, can be debilitating.

EasingMinds adopts a flexible therapeutic approach which, firstly meets the needs of the person seeking help and then examines how their condition affects their quality of life and everyday functioning. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used as a framework, within which are structured other therapeutic approaches.

The Therapies page on this website introduces a number of clinically proven and effective therapies used; for example Clinical Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, Psychodynamic, NLP therapies and meditative practices.

There is information About Me, my background, training and ethical guidelines. In the Applications link the types of conditions which can be addressed by EasingMinds are included. Specialised programmes outline treatments for Stop Smoking and Weight and Body Issues. A number of Workshops dealing with stress in and out of the workplace, and emotional health are also outlined. The Links page will be of interest to those wanting to know more about the therapies practiced in my clinics, some of their governing bodies, training, academic institutions and sites of interest.
