Our Therapeutic Approaches
The foundation of our practice is built upon scientifically validated approaches, emphasizing practical results and emotional understanding.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most widely known and effective psychotherapies globally. As part of my progression towards certification as a Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapist from the Beck's Institute (USA), sessions in this direction are highly practical and effective for anxiety and depression.
- Anxiety Disorders: Management of panic attacks, agoraphobia, and social anxiety.
- Emotional Difficulties: Addressing depression, low self-esteem, and lack of motivation.
- Stress Management: Techniques for workplace anxiety and daily pressure.
- Cognitive Restructuring: Identifying and modifying dysfunctional beliefs.
- Problem Solving: Developing decision-making and conflict management skills.
Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT)
This model harmonizes cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnotherapy, creating a new therapeutic approach with significant results in noticeably shorter times. Hypno-CBT specializes in combating stress, phobias, confidence issues, and pain management.
- Anxiety & Panic: Combining cognitive restructuring with deep hypnotic relaxation.
- Phobias: Using mental visualization under hypnosis for gradual desensitization.
- Sleep & Stress: Specialized protocols for insomnia and psychosomatic stress.
- Self-Efficacy: Using positive suggestions for exam or public speaking prep.
- Habits: Support in smoking cessation or weight management.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hypnosis & Hypno-CBT
Will I lose control or reveal secrets?
No. In clinical hypnosis you maintain full control and awareness. It is not 'mind control', but a state of deep focus where we work together towards your goals.
What is the difference between Hypno-CBT and simple hypnosis?
Hypno-CBT combines evidence-based CBT techniques with clinical hypnosis. Hypnosis acts as an "amplifier", making positive changes in thoughts faster and more effective.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Most people can experience a pleasant state of relaxation and focus. This ability (hypnotizability) is cultivated and depends on your desire to cooperate.
Is it safe?
Absolutely. As a Clinical Psychologist, I use hypnosis exclusively as a therapeutic tool. It is evidence-based and applied according to the Code of Ethics.
How many sessions will it take?
Hypno-CBT is a brief approach. Depending on the request, the number of sessions is determined jointly, focusing on immediate relief.
