Welcome to Hypnosis Sudbury

Hi. Have you or your teen ever felt yourself feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, and maybe perhaps asking, “You know what, I need help but I don’t even know where to start?”

Hi, I’m Gilles Brideau. I’m a hypnotist, psychotherapist, and coach that lives and works in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I’m here to tell you that there are services available to help. I need for you to know that there’s ways out of this cycle of pain that you or your teen might be experiencing. Within our services, I offer psychotherapy, coaching, hypnotherapy, actually whatever is most specific to you and where your needs are.

A little bit about me. I’ve been in private practice and in psychotherapy for the last 34 years. Most of my work has been in addictions or working with youth. What you’ll find in navigating my website is different sections. Some are about adults, some are about youth, and each of the sections also has a little quick video and video tips about that section. For example, within anxiety, you might have just five simple techniques on how to overcome anxiety. I hope you find that helpful.

Understand that my approach is very client-centered and client-focused. I try my best to make clients feel most comfortable as possible and helping them realize that the answers really come within themselves…that I’m simply a guide that will help generate the solutions to the problems that they have. I’d like to tell you that for a lot of my clients, they find that this process is easy, but in fact, sometimes it’s more difficult than it seems. Clients often ask, too, that they were afraid of going to counseling, because what if I opened up Pandora’s box, and I won’t be able to shut it back down again. One of the things that I know about Pandora’s box comes from Greek mythology, and the biggest thing that was left behind in the box, once that box that had been emptied from the evil spirits from within it is HOPE, and that’s what I offer you today.

Hope… Hope to find that there’s a way out of the feeling of pain and struggles that you’ve been dealing with, whether that be depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance abuse. Whether you’re a teen, an adult, couples, know that I’m here to help.

Again, I’m Gilles Brideau. Thanks so much for coming to my website today and I hope in the navigation of the website, you’ll find some answers to the questions that you’re searching for. Thank you.
