Hello!  I’m Louise Price. Welcome to my website.

I have a broad range of skills and experience, which enables me to tailor sessions to effectively meet your individual needs. Whether it is for a specific issue, personal expansion, or relaxation for well-being.

My approach is forward focused, which means that we focus on how you would like to feel and build upon what is already working for you. Creating the spring board for enabling you to move forward and opening you up to new perspectives and possibilities. My sessions are not about working on yourself, they are about supporting you with becoming more in alignment with how you would like your life to be and feel.

I hope you will find my website informative. If you have any questions about my services or would like to arrange an initial consultation or appointment, please don’t hesitate in contacting me. If my services are not a match for your needs, I will always endeavour to signpost or refer you to a more appropriate practioner or agency.

As well as one on one sessions, I also run group sessions and workshops, please check my events page for any current or forthcoming events.

“Thank you for guiding me in the right direction. I couldn’t have done it without you! I feel so much better about myself and my life”

Hypnotherapy

Throughout our lives, we are faced with many challenges and experiences. As a result, we adopt certain behaviours and develop habitual thought patterns to help us to cope. We may often feel that these are the only choices available to us.

It is important to understand that at the core of these choices are always positive intentions to help ourselves feel better, even if a particular behaviour or thought pattern is not so beneficial to our wellbeing.

“You’ve taught me so much over the last few weeks and helped me to deal with and overcome my anxieties and I can’t thank you enough”

 

Hypnotherapy helps you to widen your choices, enabling you to reconnect with your inner resources, which may have been a little too far out of reach before.  Feelings of calmness and ease increase more and more, as your anxiety and stress levels reduce to healthier and more balanced levels. You feel and become more self-empowered, as your self-confidence is reclaimed and more energised, as healthier habits are established.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and we all experience this often, for example: when we are daydreaming or meditating, or when we are deeply absorbed in an enjoyable activity. This may sometimes be referred to as being in the zone or in trance, which is simply a state of focused relaxation.

Hypnotherapy utilises hypnosis to bring about transformational life changes. This is facilitated by using positive suggestion combined with breathing and relaxation techniques. By relaxing the conscious part of our mind, the unconscious part of the mind is enabled to become more open and receptive to positive changes in our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.  It is a very calming and pleasant experience and you feel in control throughout. Hypnotherapy can help with many issues, including:

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Addictions and habits
  • Bereavement and loss
  • Depression
  • Chronic and acute pain conditions
  • Insomnia
  • Self-esteem and confidence issues

Sessions last for 1 hour, I am not prescriptive about how many sessions you will need. You are the expert of you and you will know when you feel ready.

To book an appointment or to just find out more please call Louise Price on 07790 166943 or contact me here.

Anxiety & Stress Release

Anxiety is sometimes considered to be something that we have to learn to live with, or manage. Many of us buy into that story and believe it to be true. In fact, anxiety plays an important role in our personal development and growth. It is a valuable messenger, communicating to us, that it’s time to let go of old emotional coping mechanisms – ones that do not serve us in a helpful or healthy way.  It can present itself in the following ways:

  • Intense or underlying feelings of dread or fear
  • Chest pain tightness
  • Fight or flight or freeze response
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Nausea
  • Shortness of breath,
  • Dizziness/feeling spaced out
  • Panic attacks
  • Catastrophic or repetitive negative thinking,
  • Ritualistic behaviours
  • Avoidance of certain situations
  • Loss of confidence

Anxiety may be caused by a specific stressful incident or from being under continuous stress. It may linger, or manifest itself after a stressful period in your life has passed. It is that unconscious part of your mind, still trying to protect you from harm or danger, whether or not that threat was real or perceived. Like all feelings or emotions, anxiety is not fixed, it is meant to move and it will, when we give it the space to do so. We can do this by learning how to relax and feel more present in our bodies, which helps us to become aware of and release pent up tension. We can let go of the scary stories that we have created in our minds and repeatedly tell ourselves (which can hold feelings of anxiety in place. Instead we can replace them with more empowering stories, ones that feel better. The more relaxed you allow yourself to become, the more in control you will feel. Then the easier it becomes to feel more centred and calm during stressful situations and allow space for the anxiety to release.

For anxiety and stress release, I use a combined approach of relaxation and breathing techniques, counselling, hypnosis and self-awareness coaching.  Simply by making the choice to feel better, you are already moving forward.

Testimonials

I first started seeing Louise in January 2017 she helped me greatly to move through the grieving process and a family funeral in the first weeks. Her approach to my anxiety was soothing and reassuring after the grieving process and her wise counselling applied techniques and therapies were re assuring and easy to embrace. With time and patience, she gradually helped me to get off tranquilisers then sleeping tablets with no adverse effects. Just soothing relaxation and breathing therapies, which enabled me to rebuild my life over the following months. The sessions have helped me to move on with my life and feel grateful for what I have and who I am.

I enjoyed a break in my time with Louise, as my life stabilised and now she is helping me with reducing my anxiety medication, with the support of my doctor.  

Without Louise things may have been far different. The inside of a secure unit was not a place for recovery for me, but empathetic counselling and reassuring techniques have made such a difference to my life

THANK YOU

 

I just wanted to get in touch! You may remember that I hated my job, but after seeing you I felt something take over me. So, I quit and decided to go back to University and am now training to be a teacher, and loving every single day! I’ve also lost 2.5 stone and am half a stone away from the 3 stone I wanted to lose when I first started seeing you. So really, it’s just a huge thank you, but I owe you so much more! This year has been so positive and happy for me, and I truly believe that was because I started the year off by meeting you.
