Welcome to Mind by Design. I’m Lynn, a registered psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and coach.
Are you struggling with anxiety or overwhelm, unsure of how you’re going to cope? Or perhaps you feel angry or resentful within a relationship, or frustrated because no matter how hard you try, you hold yourself back from acting on your impulses and developing further.
Mind therapies are an integration of practical mind and body psychotherapy techniques, to resolve any patterns that no longer serve you and strengthen the skills you require to foster new challenges and put you back on track. Hypnosis may be used to deliver these techniques to tune into the memory centre of the unconscious mind quickly.
What to expect
Imagine you’ve been carrying a heavy stone on your back on a long and challenging journey up a mountain. Your energy is all but gone, your joints and muscles are aching and your hope of getting to the summit is quickly fading. Then along the way, you notice something’s different. You’re not sure at first what it is or when it happened but you notice your steps need less effort and the weight is lifting. The pain is subsiding and you can take in a deep breath, stand up tall and feel a surge of energy. Somewhere along the way you put down the heavy stone and now you look to the top of the mountain with a renewed, “I can do this” attitude that comes from a deep connection with who you really are. Everything you need is already within you, waiting for you to clear the path to re-discover your ‘true’ self and enjoy every step of the way.
What Can I Help You With?
Trauma and emotions
Trauma is not restricted to the impact of a devestating incident, it can stem from less threatening events too such as, experiencing ongoing bullying, ridicule or through neglect from a parent. Over time these events can wear down a person's self-esteem and resilience and can lead to self-defeating behaviours and beliefs of oneself.
Stress and Anxiety
Stress happens when demands exceed your mental, emotional and physical resources. Some stress is necessary to stretch yourself and grow however, when pressure is relenting, you may be suffering from chronic stress. Anxiety occurs when your expectation of danger outweighs your coping mechanisms, and is the body's natural alarm bell. It is sometimes a good motivator to prepare for something in order to avoid discomfort however, ongoing anxiety can form disorders that interfere with daily life.
Self-development
Build confidence to go after a new job, start a new relationship, implement a healthy habit, or develop key performance skills. Self-development fulfils human needs such as the need to challenge yourself and grow, look after your mind and body and create meaning and purpose in your life.
