About Ashley
Ashley Garland, BA hons, Dip CAH, HPD, NCH (reg).
I am a fully qualified NCH registered Clinical Hypnotherapist with practice listings on Hypnotherapy Directory, & The National Council for Hypnotherapy search directories.
Hypnotherapy sessions will typically last up to an hour, beginning with
conversations to ascertain the client’s aims and desired outcomes, followed by a
focus on relaxation techniques, guided deep relaxation, and guided visualisations, otherwise known as
‘hypnosis’.
We all think, feel, and behave due to a combination of our biology and
experiences, our mind is the engine that we need to take care of, just as we would
service and maintain our car engines. I believe that hypnotherapy is a great tool for
servicing our mind both consciously and unconsciously, and as a Hypnotherapist I
will aim to help clients succeed in their desired outcomes by utilising the mind
body connection, by bridging the gap between the conscious and unconscious
mind, this connection underpins every thought we have, and subsequently every
behaviour and action that we take.
"The Gym is for the body, what Therapy is for the mind"
Relaxed approach, Calming experience.
I have always believed that everyone has the right to ‘pursue happiness’,
sometimes our life experiences mean that our own minds can obstruct us from
feeling contentment. I believe that hypnotherapy is a fantastic tool for personal
change and growth, my personal and professional goal is to help my clients
achieve their desired outcomes by helping them to utilise their own emotional
resources in a positive way.
What to expect..
Hypnotherapy
The aim of Hypnotherapy is to provide you with a confidential opportunity for you to explore your thoughts and feelings in safety in order to assist your learning, healing, understanding and growth. My role is to help you through this process without judgement, or telling you what to do. I may on occasions give information or offer suggestions and we may, if you felt comfortable and with your agreement, use hypnotherapy as one of the ways to assist us in this process. If at any time I feel I cannot help you in some way, I will offer to refer you to someone who can.
Commitment
This process involves your commitment, your honesty both with yourself and myself and a genuine desire to change. On my part, I have a genuine healing intent and provide commitment, honesty and utmost respect for you as an individual as well as my therapeutic skills.
Confidentiality
Our work together remains completely confidential and I will not discuss what we talk about in sessions outside of the sessions. There are however some exceptions to this.
• I am required to attend supervision, as part of continuing professional development, in order to ensure that you receive the best possible service but any information discussed under supervision would be anonymous.
• If, in exceptional circumstances I felt that either you or someone else were in danger or at risk of harm, whilst I would discuss with you first the possibility of breaking confidentiality if the risk was serious enough I may have to break confidentiality.
Ethical Standards
I am a member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy (NCH) and am bound by their code of ethics, copies of which can be provided to you. I take your individual boundaries seriously and seek to work in the most ethical way.
Sessions
Sessions are between 45 to 60 minutes and I will indicate the possible number of session that will be required and will arrange a day and time suitable to ourselves. We may however mutually decide to change the interval of time between sessions.
Number of Sessions / Ending Hypnotherapy
When therapy is open-ended, as opposed to limited, it is important that ending therapy is not sudden so we will regularly review progress to help determine the duration of our work together.
Record Keeping
I keep brief written notes and you are welcome to see these at any time. These notes are kept confidentially and no personal details will be kept on computer or passed to other agencies. At the end of our work together my notes will be stored securely for a period of 7 years in case you wish to return to Hypnotherapy. After that time they will be destroyed by secure shredding. No electronic records will be stored after the end of Hypnotherapy.
I hold public liability insurance.
