Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist Hi, I’m Barbara, When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it’s not uncommon for their lives to unravel, as did mine. I was having highs and lows but was too busy to get help. Truth of the matter was, I believed I would be seen as weak! Growing up as a woman in a strict Indian household, showing any signs of vulnerability was seen as a weakness, and was frowned upon; this was ingrained in me through my culture since I was a young child. So, the darker the day, the brighter the lipstick! What did I do with the emotional burdens I could no longer carry? Of course, I buried them like most of us do, until one day my life was turned upside down and all the buried stuff resurfaced with a vengeance... So much so that I no longer saw the sun even on the brightest of days. I isolated myself from family and friends and turned to alcohol and partying. I eventually realised I was losing everything that was precious to me, so I tried various types of therapy and counselling, nothing made a difference. Everything I tried seemed to be raking up old wounds rather than healing them. This was until I discovered solution focused hypnotherapy. I felt this was different to anything I'd tried before because it focuses on looking towards the future to help you overcome your past - and there was no need to bring up old wounds. And so, my journey began. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through traumatic or stressful experiences. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, so I have trained in many Modalities. I gained my Diploma from the prestigious CPHT, qualifying as a solution focused hypnotherapist and psychotherapist in 2019. My desire to help my clients just grew, and the hunger to learn more, led me to train with Matthew Bartlett to become an NLP practitioner, and James Banfield’s Mind reboot facilitator. With all of these modalities, continued learning on a weekly basis and supervision, I can keep up with the latest techniques, which aids my clients to achieve their desired outcomes very quickly. I am a member of the AfSFH. NCH and Welldoing registers. I am fully DBS checked. I work with clients online or from my cosy therapy room in Teynham Kent.
