Nicky Edwards BWRT, Hypnotherapy, Life Coaching & NLP

West Sussex Hypnotherapy

With over 20 years of experience of working with children and young people through care, education and the NHS my work with 0-19 year olds has been central to my career. I focus on using techniques and approaches which allow children and young people to resolve their issues and worries quickly, effectively and safely whilst enjoying the experience to teach them new tools and change their emotional responses.
This is coupled with a personal recovery from disordered eating using alternative approaches to conventional counselling which retrains the mind in its emotional and behavioural responses to eating routines, food behaviours and body image to support recovery for my clients. With qualifications in fitness and nutrition alongside hypnotherapy, BWRT, NLP and coaching to create a holistic approach to disordered eating treatments.
