Trauma-informed cognitive hypnotherapy and coaching
I’m here to help you make changes
I’m Victoria Ward. My purpose in work is to help you find freedom from the problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviours that have been keeping you stuck in suffering and self-sabotage so that your life can be better than it is right now.
Finding the limiting beliefs you hold on a subconscious level that are keeping you stuck. Resolving trauma still held in the brain and body that keep you repeating unhealthy patterns. Giving you the tools to change from the inside out.
For each client I use a unique blend of the cognitive and somatic methods and modalities I’ve developed expertise in over the last 14 years, including Cognitive Hypnotherapy (DipCHyp), Positive Psychology (MSc), NLP (master practitioner) and Coaching (EMCC Accredited).
This means my approach is tailored to you and what you bring to me, as there is no one-size-fits-all solution to our wonderful human brains.
Appointments held in Colchester (Essex) and online. London by appointment only.
*14+ years experience in private practice including on Harley Street
*Evidence-based approach
*No one-size fits all solution – you are unique!
What working with me looks like
We sit down together, online or in-person, and you tell me what you want, and then you tell me what’s going on that’s stopping you from having it.
It’s up to me then to ask the questions and do the work that reveals what’s really stopping you, what’s really at the root of the problem, because sometimes (quite often, in fact) it’s not what you think.
From here we can build a blueprint of how and who you will be when everything is resolved. This sets the subconscious mind seeing that different is possible and change is safe.
Then I delve into my toolbox and use my intuition and expertise – fine-tuned over more than 13 years of private practice – to resolve the root cause of the problem with whatever technique will best serve you. This may be practical tools from Positive Psychology, trance-based cognitive hypnotherapy, coaching conversations, meditation or mindfulness techniques, somatic therapy, or tools from the various approaches I’ve trained in (including NLP, EMDR and EFT).
The key to this is that you are unique. You have lived a unique set of experiences that shape your current experience of life. You deserve an approach tailored uniquely for you, to get you results as effectively as possible.
Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety can come in many shapes and forms, including panic attacks. It is treatable with Cognitive Hypnotherapy.
Trauma & PTSD
Emotional distress – including bullying, abuse, accidents and attacks – can cause long-lasting and devastating effects.
Confidence
Get to the root cause of what’s fuelling your lack of confidence, and build yourself up again from the inside out.
“Whatever it is that she does, it works! Thank you Victoria for helping me to find freedom!”
