Maia Sissons
Solution Focused Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist
Are you suffering from stress, anxiety or depression? Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by life, and struggling with motivation or to see your way through. Life changes, such as menopause, family worries or financial difficulties can affect your sleep and your ability to function. Or maybe you have specific issues such as a phobia or concerns about eating or drinking.
I’m particularly keen on helping women going through menopause, as I understand the monumental changes it can cause not just to our bodies, but to our sense of self.
As a Solution-Focused Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist, I use common-sense, clinically-proven strategies to help people achieve positive change in a relatively short period. In each session, we use a combination of talking therapy and hypnotherapy.
Each session lasts 50 minutes. We will spend the first part of the session discussing how the mind works, focusing on the changes you would like to make, and coming up with small steps to work towards those goals. In the second part of the session, we may use trance to help you achieve a state of relaxation and focused attention. For most people, this is a deeply pleasurable experience, and helps to consolidate your goals and promotes a sense of well-being.
These are some of the areas in which SFH can be particularly beneficial:
Stress, Anxiety & Low Mood
Understanding how your brain works is key to managing stress. You will learn to recognise the primitive thought patterns that provoke anxiety, and how to control them. We also use hypnotherapy to calm your mind and create a more positive outlook.
Changing Habits
Most of us have a bad habit we’d like to lose, or a good one we’d like to gain. By taking small steps in the right direction, and using positive language patterns to reinforce these gains, you can rewire your brain to forge the habits you want to have.
Sleep
Poor sleep is a common facet of modern life, and menopause, and it has serious knock-on effects on our mental and physical health. Simple sleep hygiene techniques, and the regular use of my hypnotherapy recording can help you achieve a healthy sleep pattern.
Eating, Drinking & Self-Care
Stresses at work or home, or life changes such as the menopause, often mean that we neglect our self-care. Therapy can help you to adopt a healthier lifestyle, whilst learning to love yourself as you are.
Motivation & Performance
Whether it’s struggling to get to the gym, or avoiding situations where you feel uncomfortable (such as public speaking), we can help to remove the blocks, and give you the confidence and motivation to perform to your true potential.
Fears & Phobias
Long held fears and phobias can really hold us back from living the life we want to lead. In just a few sessions, you can learn to reframe your fears and learn techniques to keep them in c
I see clients either in my beautiful clinic at Orchard House in Wantage, or online via Zoom. I also work with young people through The Therapy Box .
