Meet The Therapist – Lina Gonzalez Gomez
What kind of therapies do you offer?
I offer Hypnotherapy and Eye-Movement and Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapies to help individuals improve their mental health. This means I help with a range of topics such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, fears and phobias, addictions, insomnia and sleep problems, weight loss, body dysmorphia, Hypnobirthing and children’s therapy.
Why did you want to get into the industry?
I have always felt destined to help others. Growing up I would always be the helpful friend and when I went to see a hypnotherapist myself and saw how it transformed my life, removed my anxiety and built my confidence, I wanted to help others achieve the same. After over 10 years in the corporate world I wanted to have direct impact on individuals’ lives and help them be their true, authentic selves that they were created to be.
What’s the best thing about your job?
Seeing the impact Hypnotherapy and EMDR can have on someone is definitely the best part, and what’s so special is no two people ever have the same experience, it is all dependent on them, their experiences and psyche.
Can you sum up the benefits of your therapies?
In one sentence: You can heal. Whether it be to have a more calming, relaxing birthing experience, let go of an addiction or bad habit, overcome anxiety, stress, trauma or depression, combat a fear or phobia you have, grow in self-love and confidence, sleep better or help your child to feel better in themselves and self-regulate, Hypnotherapy and EMDR therapy are amazing tools to help you achieve this.
