Help with Driving Confidence in Derby

As a Hypnotherapist & Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in Derby with some 17 years experience, it’s often very surprising just how many people struggle with driving nerves and are seeking help with Driving Confidence in Derby.

If you’re looking for help with driving confidence in Derby how many of these symptoms do you recognise :

  • You stick to the area / location that you know
  • The thought of travelling any distance makes you anxious – often days before the journey
  • You avoid / don’t go on holidays
  • The thought of dual carriageways / Motorways fills you with terror
  • Travelling as a passenger is equally as difficult
  • Panic attacks can occur when you go on journeys outside your comfort zone
  • You let your partner do all the driving

It’s interesting how the fear can actually become a phobia and dominate your life to the point where your life just seems to close in around you – and you end up just doing less and less. Therefore if you’re looking for help with driving confidence in Derby isn’t it time you got your independence / life back and did something about it ?

Why not have a look through my website www.alexanderpractice.co.uk to see how I can help you ?

You can contact me via the website or as follows – everything as you’d expect is in total confidence :

Support for staff experiencing mental health problems in Derby

Support for staff experiencing mental health problems in Derby

I have been providing support for staff experiencing mental health problem in Derby for almost 17 years now. It may surprise you to learn that almost 20% of employees are dealing with a mental health problem.  For example anxiety, depression or stress. Ok, this may not be directly related to work related issues – but the fact is that this can stop people performing at their best.

Organisations perform better when their staff are healthy, motivated and focused.

The fact is that inevitably it will affect the profitability of the company, and especially if the employee is in a key position / having a key skill. Such people are exceedingly hard to replace – especially in these days of high employment. It’s estimated the costs of replacing key employees is as high as £20,000….makes sense to keep your workforce happy and motivated doesn’t it.

Smart employers support employees who are experiencing mental health problems to cope and recover.

The support people receive from employers is key in determining how well and how quickly they are able to get back to peak performance. Standing by people when they experience a mental health problem is not only about keeping hold of a valuable staff member. It also sends a message about your organisation’s values. All employees need to see that their organisation lives its values and treats its people well. Trust and integrity are key drivers of engagement. Organisations that support staff reap the benefits in terms of loyalty and commitment from all employees.

As indicated, I have been providing support for staff experiencing mental health problem in Derby for seventeen years now – having carried out many thousands of client sessions.

So whether you’re an employer (or an employee) seeking support for staff experiencing mental health problem in Derby  – why not check out my website www.alexanderpractice.co.uk  to see how I can help you. Then contact me as below to start the ball rolling :

Therapy for Anxiety in Derby

Therapy for Anxiety in Derby

I’ve been providing therapy for anxiety in Derby for in excess of sixteen years now – perhaps more than any other therapist in the region. Its interesting how anxiety can affect both the body and mind.

How does anxiety start ?

When looking for therapy for anxiety in Derby – As you would expect, answers are numerous, often having roots in Childhood. When we’re young our minds are developing and less resilient than our adult years….and I’d class our late teenage years as our minds still being very impressionable. When we’re young we’re not masters of our destiny, problems as home, problems at School, College, University, exams, bullying, criticism, bereavements, medical problems, being ‘forced’ to go to the Dentist etc etc.

Clearly as we mature the dynamics change : Relationship breakdowns, job pressures & work place bullying, mortgages,physical illness, depression, lack of sleep etc.

This can lead to :

  • Yes, no surprise here –  anxiety, worry, panic attacks
  • Depression
  • Insomnia
  • Physical ailments – IBS, Headaches, pains / physical ailments that are non medical ie psychosomatic (I am frequently consulted with this)
  • Lack of confidence
  • Avoiding situations / places where anxiety has occurred in the past

So if you’re looking for therapy for anxiety in Derby why not give me a call or drop me an email ?  My surgery is conveniently placed in an “easy to get to” area of Derby on a main bus route, easy  to walk to with plenty of cheap ‘on street parking’. Everything is of course in the strictest confidence. No one will know we have spoken or what we have said unless you choose to tell them. I offer a free consultation which will allow me to build up an overall picture of you and discuss the best way forward. It also allows you to meet me, to ask any questions you may have and to feel comfortable with me and what I have to say.

In fact why not browse my main website to understand my full range of services : www.alexanderpractice.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you :
