Here are some of my thoughts and insights into the incredible world of psychological therapy, especially hypnotherapy.
I also share tips for better managing our daily health, as the mind affects the body and vice versa.
We sometimes complain of lacking energy, and while this may be due to biological factors, like illness, or overworking, I’ve found it is quite common when psychological and emotional issues get in the way and drain our life energy. Worrying is exhausting work, after all. We may wake up sluggish and lethargic, yet if we […]
Some people believe that health is purely biological, assuming that thoughts and feelings are separate from the body. French philosopher René Descartes popularised this dualistic (and false) notion back in 1641, and Western medicine has essentially followed this path ever since. While Eastern traditions have consistently recognised the unity of mind and body, Western medicine […]
I’ve recently expanded my practice into Central London — the timing felt right, and the location is ideal. I found a delightful therapy room on Queen Anne Street, close to Harley Street, which is renowned worldwide for its high-end medical care and cosmetic treatments. The room is designed to provide a calm and welcoming space […]
I watched Handel’s Messiah at the Royal Festival Hall, South Bank, yesterday. It was impressive; the lightness of the different sounds and timbres floating through the air allowed one to hear just the notes, painting pastel shades in the air, without the earthy sound of bow scraping against string or the raspy breath on the […]
There’s something about being at the seaside that makes you reminisce about times spent there as a child. The magic was potent back then, and now the inner child in us benefits from being there again. It reconnects us. So, when a friend suggested visiting Broadstairs Beach on a warm, sunny day in early April, […]
A good laugh can completely lift your mood. Laughter is a fabulous mental health therapy, a pick-me-up that can last and turn sad moments into more manageable ones. Even when things are overwhelming, a hearty laugh reminds us that not everything is falling apart. It helps reframe adverse events (or thoughts) so that those memories […]
Situated by Trafalgar Square, the National Portrait Gallery focuses on famous individuals and their cultural impact conveyed through their expressions and compositions. Its emphasis is on the subjects of the portraits rather than on the artist who created them. During my recent visit, I was struck by the depth these portraits hold, especially in the […]
Creating bespoke solutions to your issues to finely match your needs for a person-centred therapy that works best for you. No two people are alike, so one size or style can never fit all. The same is true of hypnotherapy treatment. I listen to you with care, sensitivity, and support to agree on the best […]
Living only three short stops on the Met Line from Freud’s final house, I thought it was about time I dropped in and had a look around, having wanted to for ages. Tucked away in the quiet, tree-lined streets of Hampstead (NW London), the Freud Museum, located at 20 Maresfield Gardens (5 mins walk from […]
When the Spotlight Feels Too Bright. Now, I love the London stage and watch plays and musicals regularly. There’s a moment just before the curtain rises, when the lights dim and a hush falls over the audience, that can send a chill down even the most seasoned performer’s spine. For many actors, that moment isn’t […]
