Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy for Modern Life.

Hi I’m Ari, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist

BSc (Hons), Dip.CBH, Cert.I-CBT.

I am passionate about helping individuals create positive change in their lives. I focus on issues such as chronic stress, workplace burn-out, low self-worth, negative thinking & negative behavioural habits.

My approach is transdiagnostic, integrating evidence-based therapies. These include Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), which combines CBT with hypnosis to change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which promotes psychological flexibility, & supports purposeful action aligned with personal values; and Schema Therapy, which helps identify and transform long-standing patterns that may be maintaining unhelpful behaviours. Together, these approaches increase the chances of long-term success compared to using a single modality.

Alongside my qualifications in psychology and hypnotherapy, I have two decades of experience as a Finance Manager across diverse sectors including Film & TV, Advertising and Theatre. This makes me well- versed in high-pressured, fast paced environments that can really take a toll.

Such situations can increase stress levels and feelings of anxiety. People can become stuck in negative cycles of thinking and behaviour and can experience physiological symptoms. Even when trying to relax, the mind can remain overly active and consumed.

I am an advocate of the mind-body connection, and believe that, with the right therapeutic alliance, individuals can quickly learn to champion their own mind-body connection, given the right tools and interventions to build long-lasting mental well-being and self-efficacy.

Testimonials

  • "This has been the most amazing experience for me. I feel I am making so much progress and achieving things that I did not think were possible. I felt Ari built a strong therapeutic relationship with me. I felt comfortable and totally able to trust and share everything with her. She was very effective with listening, helping me to feel able to communicate"

    T, Whitehill

  • "I cannot recommend Ari highly enough. She has helped me find and understand my inner-self. I always come away feeling lighter, relaxed, and much less stressed, and with the mental tools to tackle life’s challenges going forward."

    A, Liphook

  • "Ari immediately put me at ease and made me feel like I was in a safe space. I felt very comfortable throughout. Ari asked thoughtful and thought-provoking questions which were very insightful. She took on board the info I provided and tailored future sessions accordingly, which I very much appreciated. Ari also kindly sent over transcripts that I have been able to listen to outside of our sessions, which I have found very helpful."

    V, Coulsdon

  • "My experience with Ari and Mind your Heath has been amazing. She has helped reduce stress and anxiety and allowed me to grow in confidence and take back control of my mental health. Giving me many practical tools to use when I feel like I’m having a bad day, tackling my core beliefs and changing my mindset. It has helped me grow in my personal and professional life. I would highly recommend her to friends, family and anyone looking for support."

    Rebecca

  • "Ari is absolutely brilliant – she solved my problem after one session and a lengthy follow up telephone call the next day with advice. She managed to do what my GP and a hospital consultant failed to do."

    Jennie

  • "My sessions with Ari have made an astounding difference to my anxiety and sleep problems. I was somewhat sceptical of CBT and hypnotherapy coming into the sessions, but I felt noticeably calmer immediately after the first session and was able to return to that calm state when I needed to. By learning a few very simple techniques I have been able to slow down the whirlwind of unhelpful thoughts that have distracted and hampered me for as long as I can remember. Ari quickly understood where I was at and what would be useful to me. I'm very grateful to Ari for her expertise and help and would strongly recommend Mind your Health to anyone struggling with difficult thought patterns."

    Catherine

  • "Not only is Ari extremely qualified and consistently learning herself - she's a great, active listener, meaning that we clicked very quickly. With her help, I'm developing the ability to understand, articulate and accept thoughts, feelings and schemas that I've adopted consciously or unconsciously throughout life; and the toolkit I need to accept and unpick them respectively. I'm delighted that Ari is the person helping me to restore a bit more calm and the feelings of agency over my own life and future."

    Leo

  • "I was suffering with menopausal symptoms, broken sleep, anxiety on waking, and feeling irritable and exhausted during the day. With Ari’s help I am now managing these symptoms, feel so much calmer and my sleeping pattern has greatly improved. Ari encouraged and helped me with the conversation to return to my GP to request my HRT was increased - I now feel I am back in control of my life."

    Jennifer 

  • "Ari has helped me enormously. Initially I had sessions with Ari for spider phobia but her relaxation techniques have helped with my day to day living anxieties. I highly recommend Ari and had all my visits in her consultation room. Ari has a lovely warming personality."
