Gianna De Salvo

Background
Gianna began practicing as a cognitive hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner after completing a rigorous training programme with the internationally recognized Quest Institute in 2006. She was attracted to Cognitive Hypnotherapy because of the scientific approach that it takes to understanding the human mind; providing tools to empower clients to take back control of their thoughts, feelings and emotions. Gianna believes that everyone is unique and therefore, tailors her sessions to individuals' needs and expectations, thus ensuring that the therapy is effective and long lasting. Her approach is to move clients away from negativity and stress and closer to joy and self-fulfillment. Gianna is accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy and is also registered with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC); which is supported by The Department of Health.

Description of treatment
Gianna specialises in working with stress and anxiety disorders but is very successful in treating a wide range of disorders with Cognitive Hypnotherapy.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy employs techniques to modify negative patterns so the client is able to take control of their behavior. Each client’s problem pattern, will be formed uniquely, even when the label given to it is shared by many. Consequently, each will require a different sequence of techniques, connected together by a pattern of suggestion based on their way of thinking. Hypnotherapy is used to combat a number of issues, not limited to, but including, anxiety issues, smoking cessation, phobias, weight loss, boosting self esteem, depression, pain control and management and more...

"I thought Gianna was extremely approachable and made me feel instantly comfortable in her company. I think this was essential in me feeling relaxed and therefore ensuring the hypnotherapy was successful. In my case I was very nervous about getting married and hate being the center of attention, but Gianna taught me how to turn nervous energy into something good, rather than something that controlled me. I definitely felt that I handled myself better at my wedding than I thought I would and I put this down to my sessions with Gianna. I am continuing to use the techniques I learnt when nervous, and will continue to do so."

"I had a crippling fear of public speaking and always avoided it when I could. However, when I was promoted to a senior management role in my place of employment, I was forced into a situation in which I had to give several presentations a year to large rooms full of people. My first presentation was a disaster. My palms were sweaty, my heart was racing and I couldn’t think straight. I spoke as quickly as I could to get it over with and I don’t think my boss or colleagues were very impressed. I sought Hypnotherapy to alleviate my fears and allow me to be comfortable speaking in front of others. After just 5 sessions with Gianna, I am now able to present to large groups, and surprisingly find that I even enjoy it! Without Gianna’s help, I think everything would’ve suffered – my job, my relationship, my sense of well being. Now I feel more powerful and contented and am able to continue climbing the corporate ladder."

"I came to Gianna because I had needle and blood phobias, usually leading to fainting, and wanted to deal with those phobias because I was planning to have a baby. "

"I'm actually due to have my baby on January 13th and wanted to say that throughout my pregnancy I have had a number of blood tests and hospital appointments and have managed to stay calm and relaxed through all of them, not fainting once, and all thanks to Gianna. Each time I had to face a test I managed to remain calm and positive because she gave me the confidence and tools to take myself to a relaxing place where my mind is in control of my body. I sincerely cannot recognize myself anymore and I know I wouldn't be where I am now if not for Gianna....thanks so much for your help."
