"I had for a very long time struggled with CPTSD, flashbacks, anxiety and physical pain, Henry has been so genuine and non-judgemental, that I have felt safe enough to open up about deep issues that I haven’t been able to do with any other therapist I’ve worked with. The changes I have felt since have been immense and I still can’t quite believe how far I have come in such a short space of time."

Complex PTSD (CPTSD) manifests through a pervasive sense of fear, helplessness, and emotional numbness, stemming from prolonged exposure to traumatic events often rooted in childhood abuse, abusive relationships, sexual abuse, neglect, or chronic stress. This condition extends beyond the typical symptoms of PTSD, embedding itself deeply into one's psyche and disrupting the very foundation of self and relationships. Individuals with CPTSD endure flashbacks, overwhelming anxiety, and difficulty trusting others, creating a constant state of vigilance and dread that profoundly impacts daily life.
​
Healing CPTSD requires more than addressing surface-level symptoms; it demands a deep dive into the subconscious to unearth and process the sustained traumas that fuel this condition. My approach integrates hypnotherapy to access these buried emotional wounds, facilitating profound healing and transformation. By creating a safe and nurturing therapeutic space, we can dismantle the long-held patterns of fear and helplessness, fostering a renewed sense of safety and trust. This process helps rebuild a positive self-image and empowers you to reclaim your life from the grips of CPTSD, allowing you to participate fully and openly in your journey toward healing and wholeness.
Here are some common symptoms of CPTSD:
-
Difficulty expressing emotions in relationships.
​
-
Low self-esteem.
​
-
Hypervigilance.
​
-
Flashbacks.

-
