My name is EJ, I am a Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist who has a background in Psychotherapy (Counselling), Wellbeing and Mental Health. 

​

Background

 

I worked in the Military for 25-years and during this period encountered some individuals with Mental Health (MH) issues such as PTSD, high anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation.

​In my volunteer role as a Traumatic Risk Management Practitioner (TRIM), I was able to support individuals who had been involved in, or witnessed, a traumatic event and refer them on to the appropriate support agencies.

​

As part of my return to civilian life, I qualified as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and undertook an array of Mental health and Hypnotherapy courses.

 

I then studied at Robert Gordons University for three years and qualified as Mental Health Nurse.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Course

​

​Last year after returning from working abroad, I decided it was the right time to further my studies in Hypnotherapy and started training with the in Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT) in Edinburgh. 

The course was an in-depth course, governed by a regulating body and ranked as the “Gold Standard” for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy training courses.

 

​​I qualified in June 2024 with a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, became a member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH) and adhere to their strict code of conduct. 

​

Since starting my training, I have been able to help individuals with an array of issues such as Stress Management, Insomnia, Anxiety, Weight Management, OCD, Food Phobia, Chronic Pain Management, Smoking Cessation and many more.

 

​Current Employment

​

I currently work part-time as the Wellbeing Advisor at Robert Gordons University (RGU), supporting students in Continuing Wellbeing or referring them onto other agencies such as counselling.
