The therapeutic space

Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process that uses focused attention and deep relaxation to help you connect with thoughts, feelings, and inner resources that are often difficult to reach in everyday life.
I trained at the Portuguese Institute of Hypnosis (IPH), the largest hypnosis school in Portugal and one of the largest in Europe.
Throughout my practice, I have received a growing number of positive comments from people who have experienced my supportive and client-centred approach.
At Aviv Therapies, each session is guided by your goals, your pace, and your lived experience. There is no loss of control: only a supported opportunity to listen inwardly and create new possibilities.
Areas of support
Sessions are tailored to you. Common areas we may explore include:
Calm the nervous system, understand triggers, and build a steadier inner response.
Release limiting beliefs and reconnect with your strengths and authentic voice.
Create healthier patterns around smoking, sleep, food, focus, and daily life.
Approach old fears safely and develop a more confident response to them.
Hypnotherapy is a complementary practice and is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care. Results vary between individuals.

This varies with your goals and circumstances. We will discuss a realistic plan together and review progress as we go.
Most people can enter a useful hypnotic state when they feel comfortable and are willing to engage. The experience differs from person to person.
Yes, within normal professional and legal safeguarding limits. These boundaries will be explained clearly before your first session.
