Pathways Hypnotherapy in Benfleet Essex

Victoria Baldwin BSc, DHP, MAPHPacc


Hypnotherapist and Counsellor in Benfleet, Essex

I am a trained clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist based in South Benfleet, Essex; within easy reach of Basildon and Southend. I am also a Counsellor and an EFT Emotional Freedom Technique or "tapping") practitioner with a BSc Degree (Open) in Psychology, Social Science and Educational Research and a Level 4 CPCAB Counselling Diploma.

I have been working as a therapist since 2009 and have great feedback from clients who see me as supportive and open-minded.

My office is private, spacious and designed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed; there is off-street parking, air-conditioning and good disabled access.

Why did I choose to become a therapist?

Well, I have always found that people seem able to come to me for support and find me easy to talk to and supportive. Plus on a personal note; hypnotherapy helped me to quit smoking (and I was a heavy smoker for years!) and grow as a person. I like to feel I am a sincere and compassionate individual and I am fascinated with the mind/body connection.

My chosen career is incredibly worthwhile; helping people prevail over problems or conditions that may be holding them back and preventing them from being the best that can be. Hypnosis and hypnotherapy are great ways to help people communicate their personal emotions, in a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, which may otherwise be difficult to do.

I am professional and offer a completely confidential service but you will still find me to be relaxed and friendly, and I treat each client in a totally individual way according to their needs. My objective is to use my various skills and therapeutic techniques to help you to take control of whatever it is that you want to change.
