About Jagdeep
I am an experienced practitioner of Cognitive Hypnotherapy and a Master NLP practitioner trained by Trevor Sylvester at the Quest Institute and a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy.
I also trained in the USA in NLP and Hypnotherapy with Steve Linder of SRI training and coaching, one of the top trainers for the world renowned Anthony Robbins.
Part of my recent experiences have included working for Camden Council mediating disputes between employees where I was able to utilise my skills as a Solution Focused Brief Practice Practitioner and Mediator (OCN qualified).
I have worked with children and young people for over 25 years and trained in solution focused therapy techniques over 15 years ago.
When I trained as a cognitive hypnotherapist it was important to me to use use this skill set with children and so worked voluntarily, for Kids Company as a cognitive hypnotherapist (sadly now closed down due to funding issues).
Using solution focused techniques I looks at where strengths lie and where possibilities for positive change exist.
I find this skill immensely useful as it does not focus on the problem; instead it looks at supporting clients to look at resilience and the strengths they have gained through, often, terribly traumatic experiences.
It is important when working with young people, children and adults that they are not re-traumatised; solution focussed therapy supports connecting with the perspective of strengths, whilst still allowing for space to express anything it is important for the individual to express.
I have always had a keen interest in alternative health and wellbeing and as well as being a cognitive hypnotherapist I am also a qualified yoga teacher, mindfulness meditation teacher and shiatsu practitioner (body work based on the chinese tradition of healing the body through acupuncture points). I bring all these facets of knowledge and experience into my sessions.
My strengths lie in understanding that we all operate differently and so I work with flexibility and according to your needs.
Together we develop an understanding of how you specifically are doing things and how unhelpful REACTIONS can be changed to allow you to RESPOND positively and so develop control over the issues affecting your life.
I believe it is important to find the right therapist for your needs and offer a Free 20 minuite consultation to give you the opportunity to ask questions and decide if I am the right person to work with you.
My Background
For over 20 years, I have worked in social work related fields. I worked for the NSPCC for 6 years, for three years specialising in working with Asian Women and Domestic Violence.
These experiences have given me a good understanding of the challenges people can face, as I have worked with adults and children who have had to deal with violence, sexual exploitation, depression and people trapped in loops around offending and violence.
I chose to leave social work as I did not want to be a part of a system that is over stretched and over stressed. Instead I chose to train as a cognitive hypnotherapist, mediator and solution focussed brief practitioner as these are methods that I have seen and personally experienced as really making rapid changes for people.
I have a long running interest in alternative health and am a qualified Kundalini Yoga teacher, Shiatsu practitioner and most recently Emotional Freedom Therapy practitioner – also known as tapping.
All of these different strands of learning and experience allow me to work with you holistically.
I believe that therapy should go at a pace that is appropriate for you and understand that some issues can be resolved in a session and know others might take much longer.
I continue to develop my skill sets and am currently completing a Hypnopsychotherapy Diploma.
My wish for you is that the process is as speedy as possible so you can get out of therapy and into enjoying your life. After all that’s what it is all about.
