Tolkien Hypnotherapy

A bit about me:

I moved to London from Sweden (hence the gingerbread moose picture) in the 90’s to work in IT as an analyst/programmer.

Working as a woman in IT in the City was difficult - coming from the Swedish culture, I wasn’t at all prepared for the sexism I encountered. To say I was stressed is an understatement...

I had no clue how to manage my mind to help me cope with that stress. While I was searching for different types of help, I luckily came across a hypnosis tape in a new age shop (a cassette tape - that’s how long ago it was!). I listened to that tape pretty much every lunch and it helped me cope much better.

I now know that it helped to release some of the stress so I could think and focus again but, being just a generic tape, it couldn’t teach me how to use hypnosis more constructively or the “how to” of running my mind.

While later staying at home to raise my family, I thought about what truly matters to me and how I could change things, both for myself and for others. I completed a BSc in Psychology and a MSc in Occupational Psychology. I then came back to the technique that had really helped me before: hypnosis.

After researching the area, I trained in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Later, I also certified in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Medical Hypnotherapy and Trauma therapy to help my clients achieve even better results.

I have now used these therapies for myself, my family and friends (while I trained no-one got away!), and 100s of clients.

It’s incredibly rewarding and inspiring to walk with my clients for a while and see them change into more confident, optimistic, freer, more energised and healthier versions of themselves :)
