Alison Fernandes

I am a qualified and experienced BWRT®, Rewind and EMDR(Hyp) practitioner, hypnotherapist and counsellor. I offer therapy services to clients across the Cheltenham, Reading, Bristol, and Cirencester areas. I use an holistic approach tailored to the individual client’s needs, drawing on different models of therapy, including CBT.

I am a member of the International BWRT Institute (Advanced), the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR) and of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I work predominantly with clients who experience stress, anxiety, fear, poor self-image, lack of confidence and unwanted behaviours; or have been affected by trauma (PTSD and CPTSD). I also offer couples counselling, support for fertility issues and regression/past life regression.

I provide a non-judgemental, safe and relaxed environment in which you can fully explore and discuss the issue, or issues, you have sought help for, and we work together to bring about positive change for the future. While some issues can be dealt with in only a few sessions, it can take longer to fully resolve long term and/or profound emotional and psychological issues. It is important for you to be committed to achieving the outcome you want.

During our initial free of charge telephone call, I will discuss with you the background to your situation and assess whether I am the appropriate professional to offer you support. This call will normally take around half an hour and by the end of the call we will have agreed on whether to go ahead with an appointment. I will answer any questions you may have about therapy and explain to you what is involved.
