My role is to help you change the way your brain responds to those patterns so you can finally experience lasting change.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1va5rsv\" data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"841\">My Background<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"1002\">If you are one of my <strong data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"885\">LinkedIn contacts<\/strong>, or an ex colleague, you probably know me from my time working for <strong data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"1001\">national and multinational companies with thousands of employees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1253\">Today I work as a <strong data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1049\">self-employed therapist<\/strong>, helping people with issues such as <strong data-start=\"1086\" data-end=\"1176\">anxiety, self-confidence, self-esteem, phobias, imposter syndrome and other challenges<\/strong>, mainly using a therapy known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bwrt-professionals.com\/practitioners\/Karen-Preiss\"><strong data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1252\">BWRT\u00ae (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy)<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1481\">For some clients, their issue can be resolved in <strong data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"1324\">a single session<\/strong>. For others, it can be more like <strong data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1397\">peeling back the layers of an onion<\/strong>, where several sessions are needed to work through the different elements involved.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"svuu1z\" data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"940\">My Approach<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"942\" data-end=\"1132\">The main therapy I use is <strong data-start=\"968\" data-end=\"1010\">BWRT\u00ae (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy)<\/strong>, a modern psychology-based approach that works with the brain\u2019s natural processes to change unwanted emotional responses.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1339\">BWRT works by <strong data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1204\">changing the brain\u2019s automatic reaction to a trigger<\/strong>, helping clients respond in a calmer and more constructive way. Because of this, it can often produce results quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1506\">For clients who prefer it, I also offer <strong data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1397\">hypnotherapy<\/strong>, which can be particularly helpful for issues such as relaxation, confidence building and smoking cessation.
