If,
like me when I first encountered hypnosis and hypnotherapy, you are
perhaps a little unsure what to expect of the phenomenon I do hope this
web site helps you to understand how a very natural and safe form of
therapy can help you to achieve greater potential or put right areas
that are now no longer appropriate for you in your life.
Hypnotherapy
is a totally safe, natural form of therapy. It is simply a form of mental
relaxation, rather like meditation, that allows changes to be made utilising
the inherent power of your mind. Since being fully endorsed by the BMA
as a legitimate and effective form of therapy in 1955, hypnotherapy
has grown steadily to become the success story it is today, but even
now I find it is sometimes overlooked by some who could otherwise have
benefited, maybe put off by the portrayal of stage hypnotism.
You
may have seen hypnotism on the television where it appears someone is
controlling particular members of the audience. In a clinical setting
it is neither dramatic nor exciting, but don't let this give you the
impression that it can't therefore be as powerful as you may have believed,
it is in fact far more powerful than most people imagine. The human
mind itself is the catalyst to change, after all that is where the origin
of most problems that we have come from, whether it is a phobia, a state
of anxiety or just a craving for cigarettes or food.
I qualified with the British Society for Clinical Hypnosis
in 1997 and since practising have seen many peoples lives changed, sometimes
transformed by the simple, safe and natural form of treatment that hypnotherapy
offers.
Many people I have helped have turned to hypnotherapy as
the last resort, having already tried slower, older forms of therapy.
Hypnotherapy simply utilises your latent natural abilities to overcome
your problems and effect change in a completely safe and relaxing way;
very powerful and effective changes being made in a very short time
scale.
You
will find answers to many of your questions in this site, for quick
reference the Frequently Asked Questions page will answer many of the
questions normally on peoples minds about hypnotherapy and its applications.
Within the site you will also find information about my general approach
to therapy. Hypnosis and hypnotherapy are fascinating subjects and once
you gain a better understanding of your own inner workings you will
know positive changes can be made quite easily and effectively.
I am a member of The General Hypnotherapy Register holding the Senior Award in Hypnotherapy Practice, SQHP in recognition of my experience and was trained by the London College of Clinical Hypnotherapy at the University of Central England, Birmingham.
I have had a practice as a hypnotherapist in Worcester since 1997. I am also involved in helping people with both personal self-improvement and helping company's employees cope with stress and be more productive in the workplace.
I hope
this website will also be of interest to my former clients and anyone
who simply just wants to understand more about hypnotherapy.
Every week I treat people for a whole range of problems
including anxiety states, depression, phobias, panic attacks, slimming,
painful emotions, self esteem/confidence, insomnia, public speaking,
nail-biting, in fact an extensive range of mind and body problems. Clicking
on the links will take you to the relevant areas you may be specifically
interested in.
Read a selection of some of the letters I've received over
the years. Many of my clients come as a direct result of personal recommendation.
Even so, it's always nice when the phone rings and someone says they've
just been recommended to me. Hypnotherapy is usually a very short term
treatment when compared to psychotherapy and hypnotherapists therefore
need a much larger turnaround of new clients!
