Are you fed up with hypervigilance, rumination, negative thoughts or behaviors, and poor sleep? Or perhaps you feel overwhelmed and exhausted all the time. Whether you wish to increase focus and motivation or simply find peace and create a safe space for more positive outcomes, I can help.

With experience in a Veteran Mental Health Charity specializing in PTSD, as well as in schools, prisons, and my private practice, I have developed highly effective techniques to reduce PTSD, OCD, self-harming, antisocial behavior, and many other issues.

Clearing past trauma fosters a sense of safety, unlocking the skills and resources necessary for positive change. Our brains are biologically designed to look for problems, so negative thinking and behavior can snowball quickly. Even low-level stress can divert our brain’s resources from more productive functions.

Gain insight into how your brain encodes and stores trauma and anxiety while learning vital tools, techniques, and strategies to thrive. Working with children as young as five, my sessions are dynamic, engaging, and responsive, often featuring a magic trick to illustrate ideas.

Areas of specialization

Anger management, Anxiety, Fear of flying, Panic attacks, Phobias, Exam nerves, Post-traumatic stress disorder, Public speaking, Relaxation, Sexual issues, Insomnia, Stress, Adolescents, Grief, Interview Nerves, Confidence, Bereavement

My sessions with Chiggy have been extremely beneficial. From the very beginning, she ensures that you have an understanding of how your brain is reacting to particular situations, allowing her techniques to challenge and change these behaviours. For me, this was essential in helping reduce my phobia of blood, as well as dealing with worry anxieties; it has helped to change my mindset. Chiggy has been available via Zooms calls, as well as 1:1 sessions, to ensure my anxieties are kept in bay with the use of techniques, which I can then apply to different situations. I will be forever grateful of how this has helped in my life.


So all good, oddly minor rush of anxiety as I walked to tube but once on I'm OK. I am trying challenge 1 which is the Edgware Rd train....next Challenger is Central line train which goes deeper. You are a star Chiggy, feeling very grateful to you.

I have had a lot of support from an absolutely amazing woman called Chiggy Little who is a hypnotherapist (amongst other things). It's not the type of hypnotherapy you might imagine: more a focus on calming and overcoming anxiety and specific fears. She was training when I was first introduced to her via a good friends very soon after my family was involved in a serious open-topped bus accident, in which my husband was critically injured and permanently paralysed. I was struggling with shock and extreme claustrophobia (all the trauma seemed to channel itself into this rather than something more expected). Chiggy has 4 children herself and a very interesting life and she has done some great work with my children as well. They have really related well to Chiggy and have responded really well to her support and suggestions. Getting through such a huge set of changes in life and dealing with the aftermath and uncertainty was really challenging, but Chiggy held all our hands all the way through the process and with this amazing support we have come through the other side as stronger people.

PTSD

The techniques we used were nothing short of transformational, and I love Chiggy's no-nonsense, fun, compassionate, and practical approach. Having tried various types of therapy previously, I found the work we did together absolutely met - and exceeded - what I needed to help totally resolve, or give me more tools to continue working on both longer-term challenges and to use 'in the moment' when faced with a difficult situation.

I found myself unconsciously havening the other day and my thoughts turned to Chiggy, feeling very grateful for the lasting positive impact to many areas of my life.

Children

Chiggy is amazing. Our daughter had just turned 5 and had gone from a fantastic sleeper to being utterly terrified and screaming when we left her in her room at night (we ended up sleeping in the same room as her). We were all exhausted. I contacted Chiggy who was recommended by a friend. She listened with patience and sensitivity to our issues and suggested we visit her with our daughter. She was so welcoming and friendly - clearly a natural with kids and she put us all at our ease. She taught my daughter techniques in a way that is engaging to a 5 year old, and taught my husband and I ways to support her. It worked. After 2 sessions and a couple of weeks of working together at home our daughter was back to being a most excellent sleeper. She has always been a little anxious and Chiggy’s techniques have helped her manage those anxieties in other situations as well. Most of all it was really beautiful to see our girl flourish using the techniques Chiggy taught her, and be empowered to help herself. Chiggy really is the bees knees and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Anxiety

I had a few on line sessions with Chiggy when I was going through a really hard time and felt that I was spiralling out of control.
After the very first session, I felt so much more grounded and calm, as she teaches you ways to cope with feelings of extreme anxiety and helplessness. These practices I am still following through with today, whenever I feel I am back in a situation that I cannot control.
I would highly recommend to anyone who is in any way feeling they cannot cope or just need a really lovely calming and kind person to off load their troubles, to speak with Chiggy.

There is no shame in seeking out help, and this kind of therapy is not one I've experienced before, but would definitely come back to in the future if I need to.

Flying Phobia

Firstly what an amazing person Chiggy is. So comfortable to speak with, so cool calm and collective. It really is a pleasure to carry out each session. I had never tried the methods Chiggy carried out, I had only a few previous failed attempts at hypnotherapy that I felt zero impact from. Chiggy on the other hand, I felt her approach was much more fluid, perhaps less noticeable but with better impact. Every session enjoyable, and yet to put my phobias into practice I feel a general sense of calm around doing so. Without a doubt would recommend.

* was for fear of flying. Which you know what, never really turns out to be the root fear. ?
