happybird therapy - Aberdeen / Banchory

Hello, I’m Trudi - a clinical hypnotherapist, supporting clients overcome anxiety related issues by increasing self-confidence and esteem. Our internalised beliefs are powerful masters of our thoughts, feelings and behaviour but luckily, our brains are built for plasticity. My practice involves leading clients into a relaxing, natural state of trance where their mind is open to positive suggestion which is effective in creating change at a subconscious level leading to positive behavioural change.

But what is hypnotherapy - and what can it do for me?

Harnessing the power of the mind

By affecting the subconscious through positive suggestion, hypnosis influences the decisions made by the conscious mind, helping to break unwanted habits and negative self-belief. Hypnosis trance is a relaxing, natural state where you as a client are in control all of the time - in fact trance is just a state of hyper focus.

Weight Management

Uncover the emotional reasons behind your eating habits and build motivation for long-term success (rather than short-term diets).

Freedom from phobias

A phobia develops when a person begins to organise their life around avoiding the thing they are afraid of. Even the thought of coming into contact with the thing can cause anxiety or panic. Helping clients manage their fears through various techniques can give them their freedom back.

Anxiety Management

Once upon a time, we relied on our flight or fight response to give us superhuman strength in the face of predators- nowadays, these stresser hormones (released in non life threatening situations) wreak havoc with our bodies and mental wellbeing. Why not learn coping mechanisms to reduce daily stress and anxiety - and give your body a break.

"Our lives are what our thoughts make it," Marcus Aurelius

Often we are not completely aware of our internalised beliefs (about ourselves and how the world works) until we explore them fully. Self-limiting beliefs stand in the way of our ambition and happiness - modifying them can positively influence our present and future habits and behaviour.

The science behind hypnotherapy

Research is increasingly backing the success of hypnotherapy in alleviating anxiety and depression and fostering cognitive reconstruction. It is now endorsed by medical professionals in treating such conditions as IBS as well as mentally preparing patients for procedures and reducing the dosage required for anesthesia.

Demystifying Trance

Perception of trance has been distorted by stage hypnotism - where volunteers seem to act out against their will. In reality, trance is a natural state we slip into several times a day - a state of hyper-focus where we are receptive to positive suggestion. The client is control at all times and often finds the experience deeply relaxing.

About me

As a solutions-focused therapist I use a variety of techniques (including NLP and hypnosis) to design therapy plans for both adults and children. As well as being a therapist I am also a published author (my debut The Pure Heart won The Times Prize for Fiction and was published in 2020).
