About me
My name is Angie Stewart and I have spent many years working in care settings including a Woman's Refuge, Homeless Hostel and a Junior school with adults and children who have developed various issues because of their circumstances whether that is Anxiety, Low confidence and self esteem, phobias, PTSD, Anger issues, misuse of alcohol and drugs and many more. I started thinking about whether a holistic approach could help to make changes and so I decided that after previously experiencing hypnosis for teeth grinding and confidence building and the amazing way it made me feel, I would train as a hypnotherapist and help people make those positive changes.
I enrolled at The Anglo-European College of therapeutic Hypnosis In Bournemouth and trained with Adam Eason and studied Hypnotherapy, Neuro-linguistic Programming and CBH using evidence based methods. I am now qualified as a clinical hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner.
I am fully insured and a member of the professional body National Council of Hypnotherapy (NCH) and Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)
I think the most important thing for me to do for you is to firstly listen. I do not work from scripts, I listen to you and then we can agree which intervention will be the most effective for you using a range of applications with approaches from the field of hypnotherapy, NLP and Cognitive Behaviour Hypnotherapy. These methods can be applied to many issues including Anxiety, Low self esteem, Pain control, phobias, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, IBS, sleep issues, OCD, Nail biting, Teeth grinding and many more. Feel free to ask!
I am now also qualified as a Reiki Practitioner . Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.
Mikao Usui developed reiki in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and Ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.
Reiki aids in healing by helping people become energetically balanced — physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being. It can:
- Bring on a meditative state.
- Stimulate your body’s immune system.
- Promote natural self-healing.
- Relieve pain and tension.
- Support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis.
- Peace.
- Relaxation.
- Security.
- Wellness.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis enables you to enter into a deeply relaxed state. You're fully in control at all times and contrary to some beliefs will not start clucking like a chicken! The word Hypnosis is derived from the ancient Greek word for sleep. However, although sometimes people drift off it is more effective on a collaborative basis so a client is encouraged to work with the therapist on a guided journey using various methods and adopting a positive mindset of belief in the process. While there are many myths and misconceptions, hypnosis can used as a therapeutic tool and has many medical and therapeutic benefits such as reduction of pain, anxiety or depression and an increase in confidence and self esteem. It can also help with phobias, losing weight, PTSD, habits , sleep issues and many more.
what is Neuro linguistic programming?
Neuro linguistic programming was created by John Grinder and Richard Bandler and made a connection between neurological processes (Neuro) language (linguistic) and behavioural patterns learnt through experiences (programming). There are many techniques that can be used alongside Hypnotherapy using NLP to help someone change their beliefs and behaviours to help achieve the desired outcomes. NLP empowers, enables and teaches us to better understand the way our brain (neuro) processes the words we use (linguistic) and how that can impact on our past, present and future (programming). It gives us strategies for observing human behaviour and learning from that. Change is possible - all you need is a desire to change and a willingness to learn new ways of being…with yourself, your thoughts and with others.
Reiki
Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being. It can bring on a meditative state, Stimulate your body’s immune system, promote natural self-healing, relieve pain and tension, support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis. Studies show that reiki treatment may create feelings of Peace, Relaxation, Security and Wellness. Reiki treatments typically last about 50 minutes. During a session, you’ll lie on a massage table fully clothed, and I will gently place my hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific Chakra energy locations. I will use a series of 12 to 15 different hand positions. You may experience the energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or pulsing where i have placed my hands. Sometimes, people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all. Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during reiki treatment, and many fall asleep during the process. The length of time that the practitioner leaves their hands in each position is determined by the flow of energy through their hands at each location. Reiki differs from other touch therapies in that there is no pressure, massage or manipulation involved.
F.A.Q
Are there some people that cannot be hypnotised?
Everyone is different and we all experience life differently and so it may be that a person needs a different technique to begin hypnosis. They may be stronger visually (sight, mental imagery and spatial awareness) or respond better to auditory (sound, speech, dialogue, white noise).
A client could be resisting hypnosis because they are unsure whether they want to face their issues at this time in their life and could be visiting a hypnotherapist because someone else has told them to.
If you have made that decision to make those changes and have that belief in the process and can adopt that positive mindset then the benefits will be endless!
Will I be asleep/unconscious or ‘put under’ in hypnosis?
How many sessions will I need?
Every person and every situation is different, and so is every course of hypnotherapy. It's a bit like booking driving lessons. You can guess how many lessons you'll need based on averages, but you don't know for sure till you get behind the wheel!
On average, I usually suggest starting with four sessions. If you can see value in booking more when these are complete, I am happy to do this. I teach self-hypnosis so you can take those skills away with you and continue in-between sessions. My goal is to give you the tools to take back control and feel empowered.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Some people describe hearing every word the therapist says, while others find their minds wander. Many people lose track of time when they are in hypnosis. Being aware during the process is important as it enhances the efficacy of the session. Most people describe being so relaxed during and after the session and more enjoyable than they expected.
