Welcome to
Ivy Kirk Hypnotherapy
I combine psychology and hypnotherapy to treat anxiety disorders. I will offer you a warm supportive space to explore your personal challenges and get to the root cause underlying them.
Hello,
I have over 15 years’ experience helping my clients improve their mental health. I have specialised in treating anxiety disorders and a particular interest in helping clients overcome the legacy of developmental trauma. I work with adults and young people (age 11+), in English or French and am based in New Cross, South East London. I am a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the UK Association for Solution Focused Practice (UKASFP).

Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective approaches to resolve anxiety. It can enable you to explore past sensitising events in a safe way, discover your unconscious drives, resolve internal conflicts, activate your personal transformative resources and adopt new behaviours. The hypnotic trance state is safe as you remain in control. Most people find it enjoyable and relaxing.

Benefits of clinical hypnotherapy
Anxiety is associated with habitual, ritualistic, avoidant or addictive patterns of behaviours, designed to keep us safe, soothe unwanted emotions and make us feel in control. Anxiety often leads us to withdrawal or avoidance of stressful situations. However in the long run these strategies become limiting and self-sabotaging and maintain anxiety. They can chip away your confidence, leaving you feeling lonely isolated or empty. Hypnotherapy can benefit you in
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Improved sleep
- Increased feelings of calm and confidence
- Increased focus and motivation
- Clarity of thoughts
- Promotes new habits
- Sense of control and fulfilment

My approach
Therapy is an enrichment process. You'll gain a deeper understanding of who you are, your needs, defence mechanisms and coping strategies and beliefs that keep you trapped. You’ll discover what happens when you let go of the need to be perfect, to be liked or to conform to others' expectations and you allow yourself to be yourself. You’ll be surprised to notice how quickly anxiety recedes when you teach your inner voice to be kinder. A little love goes a long way

Fees and how to choose your therapist?
In no particular order, these are two important questions. Time after time, studies have shown that the main factor influencing the outcome of therapy is the quality of relationship between you and your therapist. So why not give me a call and see how you feel about talking to me? You can book a free chat on +44 (0)7838169923 now. I will simply ask you to tell me a little bit about what brings you to therapy. This is an opportunity for you to ask me any questions. There is no obligation at this stage, as I recommend you take time to consider whether you are ready for therapy and whether we are a good fit. My rate is £80. Sessions last 60 minutes. I can offer concessions, depending on your individual circumstances. Please do not hesitate to ask.
