Abigail Larter-Elsayed DIP HYP HWHP PHPA

Hi! I'm Abigail, a mother to 2 young boys.

At the age of 15 I knew I wanted to help people, and started working in a occupational therapy centre.  After I had my first son, being on maternity leave gave me the opportunity to get back in touch with this dream and study to become a therapist. 

I love cooking, adventurous days out with my family, meditation and reading.

I work with new parents who may be experiencing a loss of identity, feelings of overwhelm and lack of confidence in their abilities.

​

When I first had my son, I found parenthood hard. It had been a lot - the c-section, stopping work, a baby with terrible colic who didn't sleep. I didn't feel like me anymore. I felt broken. I had terrible post-partum anxiety, I stopped believing in myself, I just felt like an extention of my baby. 

​

...and then I got therapy and my whole life just opened back up again. I know how it feels to completely lose yourself for a time and I am living proof that it gets better, especially with the help of therapy.I really felt passionately that I had to work to support parents who are experiencing this wonderful but often dramatic life change themselves, where they are facing a myriad emotions and struggles. In partnership we build confidence, ease anxiety and map out the future, guiding them through the process using hypnotherapy and coaching techniques, giving them the key to unlock their very best life.
