Have you seen someone and thought “I wish I had their confidence”? If you have ever wondered what it would be like to be confident then you can learn ways to be a confident version of yourself. It is not about being someone obnoxious. It is about an improved version of yourself that is calmly confident. It is about you being able to feel at ease within yourself whether your boss is speaking to you or whether you have to give a presentation. When you feel anxious and lacking self assurance you may feel this distress within you, your stomach may be churning, your mind goes blank, you may feel that you are sweating excessively. These physiological symptoms can be interrupted. With the power of your own mind you can stop and reverse the feeling and you know, when one step is interrupted, the sequence is broken and therefore no longer happens.
The “what if” sensation can be replaced with a more positive mantra. What if it does happen, you can handle it. Once you take away the fear, you have control. You do the negative thinking so well, think about how great you would be at thinking positively and hypnosis and NLP can give you the skills that you need to do this. What could you achieve professionally if you were the confident, at ease self you would wish to be with the conscientious part of you in proportion to the task at hand. If it not about eradicating your cautious side but to get it to act appropriately. When you feel confident, what goes on inside your body, inside your mind? It is this focus within yourself with hypnosis and NLP that will make lasting change. You are learning to think about what you want for yourself rather than what you don’t want. With any change, it is important to have a signal to yourself that this has happened. How would you know that you were becoming confident? These are the areas that are addressed in a hypnosis and nlp session. We cannot change the past but we can change the emotional connection. If the record inside your head is telling you that you will amount to nothing – change it, if the voice is loud and screaming – tell to shut up. We all have an internal representation of what is going on whether it is a feeling, a noise, a pain that stops you being confident. We can change what is going on inside you.

Hypnosis for insomnia can give you a refreshing, good quality sleep. No medication, no herbal remedies just the dulcet tones of my voice to enable you to drift off. Even after the session clients say they feel lighter as though something has been lifted from them. The first session looks for any obvious cause for the problems sleeping – stress, upset etc so that you can sleep better. Sometimes there is no obvious precipitating factor but a bad habit of not sleeping well. You get to experience a deep relaxation (hypnosis) that the mind and body are being restored to good working order and giving you a sense of wellbeing. 
Interview skills can be improved with hypnosis and NLP (neuro linguistic programming). When you hear about a job interview, does your mind go from great to stress instantly? If you find yourself worrying about your communication skills and how you will come across during the interview, hypnosis can help you to turn anxiety into adrenaline to allow you to think clearly about the interview. Hypnosis can help to interrupt the pattern of letting yourself feel overwhelmed by the emotions inside you. With NLP you visualise how you are presenting yourself. In the relaxed state of hypnosis, your creative imagination is open to new images and visualisation (NLP) and we are creating new neural links of being confident and self assured at a job interview. In this state, you can take on the role of objective spectator – what are the body signals are you giving off to the interviewer, how are you holding yourself? Are you someone you would employ from this nervous state? Then with hypnosis and nlp we create the person you want to demonstrate. Confident and able to listen and answer the interview questions in a concise way. Showing how you could add value. 
When you suffer from depression it can seem as though no one understands you, your view of the world is blinkered as though you have lost your peripheral vision and there is definitely more darkness than brightness. As you know, depression can creep up on you or maybe you do not remember what it was like not to feel the heaviness in your chest. Whether your depression is endogenous (always been present) or reactive (due to a very upsetting event), as a clinical hypnotherapist (hypno-psychotherapist) I can help you to peel back the layers of your depression that have built up over the years so that you can discover just who you are and that you don’t need to be defined by the depression. My way of working is focusing on how you want to be, what it is you want for your future, and using hypnosis which is a guided relaxation, you can feel different straight away. If you want to find a way out of depression, call me on 086 1038892 or email 
Does your body shake and the butterflies go mad in your stomach as you wait your turn to called for your interview? As you open your mouth to speak does it feel dry? Perhaps you feel like your heart beat must be audible to all in the room? Your hands shake, your mind goes blank. Talking fast seems like a good idea to get it over with. If this sounds like you and you want to be confident to sell yourself in an interview, hypnosis and nlp (neuro linguistic programming) can help you land the job you want. If you want to have choice in changing your position (within your present company or a new one), you have to have the right mindset. To be able to recognise the butterflies as adrenaline to give you confidence so that you walk out from the interview knowing you did your best and be in a position to weigh up the people interviewing you. Do they reflect the type of organisation you want to work for. To improve your interview techniques call me on 086 1038892 for appointments in Limerick or Dublin.
