What makes me qualified to help you?

I am a dedicated Clinical Hypnotherapist with extensive training and accreditation through ARCH Canada. As the only accrediting body in Canada recognized by the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta, my expertise is grounded in proven clinical practices.

A Clinical Hypnotherapist specializes in utilizing hypnosis within a therapeutic framework. With a deep understanding of the DSM-5 and specialized protocols for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use, I focus on guiding individuals towards healing and well-being.

My journey into this field began over 15 years ago when I faced the tumultuous world of addiction as a mother. This experience fractured my family, impacting relationships and leaving lasting trauma. The lack of support I encountered fueled my determination to be the support others need.

After thorough research, I chose to pursue my education through the ARCH CANADA Clinical Hypnotherapy program. This comprehensive year-long course delved deeply into trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicide ideation protocols. I continued my studies to grasp the intricate effects of trauma and addiction on both body and mind, exploring neuroplasticity, neurobiology, and the neural impacts of substances.

Today, as the owner of Trauma & Stress Interventions with Hypnotherapy, I focus on trauma and men's mental health. These areas are pivotal in supporting families during their journey to recovery. Addiction's impact is far-reaching, affecting not only the individual but the entire family unit. While working to support and treat the individual, I recognize the vital healing needed within families.

If you're seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable guide to navigate the complexities of trauma, addiction, and men's mental health, I am here to walk alongside you.

Louise.
