Therapies Stephan offers

Solution-focussed hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a natural state, similar to being absorbed in a book or daydreaming, where the individual remains in control and is not forced to do anything against their will. It is a guided therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to induce a deeply relaxed state of focused concentration. By calming the conscious mind, it allows for direct communication with the subconscious, bridging the conscious and the subconscious in a way that alters unhelpful patterns or behaviours.

After a 30 minute free initial consultation (either face-to-face or online) when Stephan will explain how the brain works and during which you will be given a short questionnaire, the first hypnotherapy session will then be scheduled. Each subsequent session will last 1 hour.

Stephan tailors each session to your individual needs, helping you to let go of deeply held unhelpful patterns. Clients generally feel deeply relaxed, calm, and peaceful immediately after a hypnotherapy session, often describing a sense of being refreshed, uplifted, or having improved mental clarity. Many experience a "lightness" or positive emotional shift.

Solution-focused hypnotherapy is a collaborative and forward-looking therapy that combines psychotherapy with hypnosis to help individuals make positive, lasting changes. Instead of dwelling on past problems, it focuses on the client's desired future and solutions. It is a goal-oriented approach: sessions focus on where the client wants to be rather than where they have been.

With a genuine empathy for people and an interest in helping them finding solutions to life’s challenges and emotional conundrums, Stephan always aims to create a trusting and supportive environment. Each session is part of a journey towards self-discovery, empowerment and healing.

• Lack of Sleep / Insomnia

Indian head massage

Based on 2,000-year-old Ayurvedic principles, it uses techniques to alleviates headaches, migraines, eye strain, sinus congestion, and muscle tension in the upper back and shoulders. It is very good to promote deep relaxation, reduce anxiety, and enhance sleep quality. It is ideal for office workers and individuals experiencing high stress.

Stephan has a gift for creating a trusting and supportive environment. Each session is a step toward healing and deep relaxation. People report feeling much calmer, more centred, grounded and empowered after an Indian head massage session.

Holistic massage

The treatment Stephan provides is a combination of different techniques learned over time. Primarily based on therapeutic Swedish massage, it also incorporates techniques linked to Indian head massage, breathwork, mindfulness and energy work.

The whole experience is very relaxing but Stephan’s holistic massage sessions go beyond relaxation per se and are also exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tensions. People report feeling a lot more centred and grounded after the treatment.

Stephan’s calm and intuitive approach to holistic massage (nurturing both body and mind) also includes breath work and mindfulness and creates a safe space for self-exploration and finding balance.
