What is BWRT®?

BWRT® (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy) is a revolutionary form of psychotherapy that works directly with your brain’s natural processing systems to create lasting change.

Unlike traditional talking therapies, BWRT® is remarkably fast and doesn’t require you to relive painful memories or share details you’d prefer to keep private. It’s a modern, neuroscience-based approach that targets problems at their source, before they even reach your conscious awareness.

How BWRT® Works

Your brain processes information at incredible speed, constantly scanning your environment and triggering automatic responses before you’re consciously aware of them.  BWRT® doesn’t work with abstract concepts like “the mind” or “the unconscious.” Instead, it targets actual neural pathways in your brain, creating new patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that align with how you want to live your life.

During a BWRT® session, you’ll close your eyes (though this isn’t hypnosis or an altered state), and we’ll work together to reshape how your brain responds to specific triggers. The process is content-free, meaning I don’t need to know the details of your trauma, relationships, or past experiences. Many of my clients successfully overcome issues while sharing only the bare outline of what’s troubling them.

What Can BWRT® Help With?

BWRT® therapy is highly effective for a wide range of psychological and emotional issues, including:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Social anxiety
  • Phobias and fears
  • Post-traumatic stress
  • Grief and loss
  • Stress management
  • Performance anxiety
  • Emotional eating

Imagine Life Without These Barriers

What would change for you if you could:

  • Reduce your anxiety and feel calm in situations that currently overwhelm you?
  • Overcome that phobia that's been limiting your life for years?
  • Free yourself from traumatic memories that keep replaying in your mind?
  • Feel confident in social or professional situations that cause anxiety?

Clients are often amazed by how quickly even long-standing issues can be resolved with BWRT®.

What to Expect: Number of Sessions

The number of sessions varies depending on your unique situation:

  • Simple phobias can often be resolved in just one session.
  • More complex issues involving multiple interconnected problems typically need longer.
  • Most clients experience noticeable shifts after their first session.

Even if you’re not entirely sure what the problem is – you just know you want to feel like yourself again – that’s absolutely fine. I can still help.

"Hypnotherapy has had a significant impact on my life - I no longer allow the fear of what may happen with my tummy to stop me planning and doing things. I feel I am now more in control and in tune with my body. My friends and family have all noticed that I am calmer and happier. Your empathy, support and encouragement have made the whole process an exciting journey of discovery and healing. Thank you so much – I feel like I have got my life back.”

Taking the First Step

Your therapy begins with a free, confidential, 40 minute consultation. I will listen to what you need help with, and ask questions to help me understand your problems. I’ll explain how I work, what to expect and how I think I can help. You’ll have the opportunity to ask me questions too, of course. I don’t use a ‘one size fits all’ approach, so the questions I ask help me to develop a treatment plan designed specifically for you. You are unique, so every session will be tailored to suit your unique and individual needs.

I’m committed to helping people improve their emotional and physical well-being with hypnotherapy, which ultimately leads to greater fulfilment and joy in life. How can I help you change your life?

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes I am. I trained at the prestigious Anglo-European College of Therapeutic Hypnosis and am listed under the college directory. I was awarded the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma, considered the gold standard in hypnotherapy qualifications. I’m a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register and the CNHC.

As a professional I’m committed to on-going training and supervision to keep my skills and knowledge up to date. I’ve completed additional specialist hypnotherapy training in anxiety management, sleep disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, metaphor therapy, pain management and weight loss. I’m also a BWRT® practitioner and very excited to bring this rapid and dynamic therapy to Devon.

Hypnosis is an everyday experience that we’re all familiar with. Whenever you’re totally absorbed in reading a good book, driving on autopilot or even just day-dreaming, you’re experiencing a light state of hypnosis. The difference with hypnotherapy is that you are guided into hypnosis and the experience is deeper.

People often believe that hypnosis is a passive process, something that is done to you, but it actually requires your participation. Hypnosis is not like sleep, and you’re not unconscious; it’s similar to the state between sleep and full waking consciousness. Hypnosis is simply a state of focused inner absorption with a heightened sense of awareness.

Most people find hypnosis a very relaxing, calming and enjoyable experience. It’s common to have increased awareness of pleasant feelings and sensations in your body. Many experience a sense of comfortable heaviness, lightness or a floating sensation; although sometimes it feels just like relaxing or day dreaming with your eyes closed. While the majority of people are aware of and remember everything others will find they only have a vague memory of the session. Everyone is different and will experience hypnosis in their own unique way. Most people find hypnosis leaves them with a deep sense of inner peace and harmony.

Each session begins with some talking therapy – not all your time with me will be in hypnosis, though most of it will. I will help you to focus on what you want to achieve, to help you overcome the problems and challenges in your life. My aim is to help you achieve your goals as quickly and painlessly as possible – I don’t dig into the past unless absolutely necessary.

I will guide you in some simple imagination exercises to help you develop a relaxed inner focus. When you’re experiencing hypnosis your mind is more open and suggestible to positive new ideas and different ways of thinking, which then leads to new habits and behaviours. So I will guide you to imagine and mentally rehearse various scenarios and ideas to help you achieve the changes you’re aiming for. In addition to the work we do together, we’ll explore various techniques for you to use at home; for example practising self hypnosis and journaling.

Most clients will need between four and six sessions for effective change. Simple phobias may be resolved in fewer sessions, more complex issues may require longer.

It’s important to bear in mind that hypnosis is not something done to you. It’s a collaborative process in which the hypnotherapist is your guide and, using your imagination as suggested, you make it happen for yourself. Anyone who can understand and follow simple guidance can benefit from hypnotherapy. No-one can be hypnotised against their will, but if you’re ready for change and approach hypnotherapy with an open mind and a positive expectation, then you’ll definitely experience hypnosis.

What is NLP?

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It may sound a complicated title, but it’s actually a very straightforward and down-to-earth method for making powerful personal changes. NLP focuses on what you want to achieve in life, rather than your problems; helping you learn how to use your mind to transform your life. While NLP may be used as a therapy on its own, I combine it with hypnotherapy for powerful results.

What is cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy?

The basis of cognitive behavioural therapy is that our beliefs, thoughts, interpretations and assumptions about the world determines how we feel and act; as opposed to the influence of the world itself. Cognitive behavioural therapy will help you to overcome problems which are perpetuated by unhelpful negative thought patterns. You’ll be assisted to identify distorted, unhelpful and unrealistic thoughts – substituting them with more positive, realistic and constructive thoughts. These are then rehearsed in hypnosis with imagery, and so have a much deeper and lasting impact than just positive thinking alone can achieve. This creates positive changes in the way you think and feel which will change your behaviour, and ultimately your life as a whole.

Change your thoughts and you will transform your world.

During your free online consultation we’ll have…
