Animal Assisted therapy within My Exceptional setting involves therapy but with an animal present in the room that is used to add to the calm, safe atmosphere. Our animals are trained to stay calm and relaxed, to bring balance and a sense of security to the room to aid the person in their recovery.

Loss and grief

Using various techniques, I work with people and their fears, anxieties, worries, negative thoughts [...]

I know what it is like to be out of control with eating, I have direct experience and I appreciate the frustrations about what your goal is and how you behave to sabotage your own success. You will develop tools to align your behaviour with your goals, you will be empowered to make these choices more enjoyable and less difficult, to give your will power the support it needs. People with a BMI over 30 could be eligible for gastric band hypnosis which has the same impact as gastric band surgery but without the risks. Need help to lose weight? [...]
