Welcome to Illuminating Minds.
My name is Craig and I’m a fully qualified Counsellor, Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist based in the Purbeck region of Dorset. I offer Counselling and Hypnotherapy sessions based in Swanage and Wareham as well as serving Poole, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area, sessions can also be made available online or at home.
Solution focused hypnotherapy combines talking therapy (Psychotherapy) with clinical Hypnosis (Hypnotherapy). It is based on modern day Neuroscience with up-to date research. It uses an approach that is focused on building solutions, rather than dwelling on problems or past issues. Although I acknowledge present problems and past underlying issues, I predominantly work with your current resources and vision of how you want your future to be, helping you to look forward and use your own inner strengths to feel calmer, happier, more confident and in control, freeing your mind to allow you to go on to achieve your goals.
