Hypnosis

I quit smoking with hypnotherapy 13 years ago and can’t recommend it highly enough.

According to studies, hypnosis is the most effective way to help you quit smoking. You are 5 to 15 times more likely to give up smoking with hypnotherapy than by willpower alone.

My goal is for you to become a healthy, happy non-smoker after just one session.

If you’ve tried to give up smoking before and gone back to the habit, don’t worry. The number of failed attempts is a positive predictor of your final success.

This is my process:

• We have a free call in which we talk about your motivation and situation and whether now is the right moment for you to quit. If you’re in a severely stressful situation, I wouldn’t recommend trying to quit.
• If you decide to work with me, we’ll set a date. A week before this, I’ll ask you to provide me with some information to help me customise your session. I’ll also send you an audio (self-hypnosis instructions) to prepare you.
• Our session will be 3 hours. It will be intense and comprehensive but fun.
• During the session, we’ll do several CBT exercises, and finish with a hypnosis. I will record all exercises for you so you can use them to stay on track during those difficult first few days.
• If you struggle, you have my contact. I offer a free 1-hour booster session, to ensure you make it.

I would love to help you to be finally free of smoking.

If you suffer from IBS, you’ll know that drugs/medicines only work for a limited amount of time and that diets are simply not sustainable.

You may well also be aware that, although IBS is stress-related, doctors don’t really know its root cause. IBS is diagnosed by ruling out other illnesses. 

It’s a chronic disorder but there’s a solution to it.

Gut-directed Hypnotherapy offers a proven remedy. One study found that ‘symptom severity scores, noncolonic symptoms, quality of life, anxiety and depression significantly all improved after HT’.

Additionally, the study reassessed participants annually and they found that 81 % of patients maintained their treatment gains fully to up to five years.

This is my process:

• Before I can treat you, I ask for medical proof that you have been diagnosed with IBS and that your symptoms don’t relate to something more serious. You will need your doctor to refer you for an IBS hypnotherapy treatment.
• We’ll start with a chat so I can establish what will work in your individual case.
• We will need 6 sessions over a minimum of 6 weeks – maximum 12 weeks.
• I recommend starting with weekly 2-hour sessions to build up momentum before moving to a 1-hour session every 2 weeks, allowing you the time to apply what you’re learning to your daily life.
• I will record these for you so you can use them to stay on track after the sessions have finished.
• We’ll stay in touch so I can monitor your progress after the treatment has finished. You may want a follow-up boost session after 3 months to make sure it’s still effective (not always necessary).

Pain control is one of the things people tend to find more impressive about hypnotism. However, it is important to realise that, like most hypnotic phenomena, it is really just a normal, everyday capability of the human brain. The pain threshold is much more elastic than people normally realise.

Yet, most of us don’t consider the possibility of learning to control even chronic pain with the mind.

When you work with me to manage pain, you’ll learn how we really feel pain, what modern science says about pain.

• In some cases one booster session after 3 months -1 year is advisable.

The British Medical Journal recommends CBT and applied relaxation techniques as the two most powerful therapies for anxiety. Combining these with clinical hypnosis makes the treatment even more effective.

This is my process:

• Before we meet for the first time, I’ll send you documents to fill out.
• We start with an Assessment session, so we can establish the nature of your anxiety, stress or phobias and how we can treat them. We might finish with a little exercise and your first recording.
• Later in the sessions you will learn relaxation and natural self-confidence techniques and visualisation exercises to remove anxiety and stress related to particular situations.
• You will learn Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis to deepen feelings of relaxation and confidence. 
• Once you know how to use these tools, we will practice them while in Hypnosis facing challenging situations. reconditioning your brain so you are prepared to deal with more difficult situations in real life. 
• You will also experience a lowering of general anxiety levels and physical tension.
• Although you’ll notice the difference after 1 treatment, I recommend between 4 to 6 sessions to make sure you know how to apply what you’ve learned so it’s a permanent response not a temporary fix. Phobias sometimes require less sessions.

The addictions and behavioural habits I treat with hypnotherapy include drinking, drug use, over-eating, nail-biting and hair pulling among others.

My goal is for you to become addicted to the new you, rather than remain trapped in your previous idea of yourself as, for example, an alcoholic or ex-user.

I help you identify with new ways of thinking, feeling and acting and become a free, healthy person.

This is my process:

• We’ll begin with a chat so I can tailor a programme that is right for you.
• Depending on the severity of your addition or habit, we’ll normally need between 4 and 6 sessions.
• With weight management, we’ll arrive at a way of living, moving and eating that works for your individual circumstances.
• If I’m treating you for simple habits, I’ll use habit reversal training in a single 2-hour session with a 1-hour follow-up session 7-14 days later. This is proven to be remarkably effective. One study showed an average 90% reduction in the habit after the 2-hour session, improving to a 97% reduction in the habit after one month (Nunn & Azrin, 1977).
• Your treatment will include me sharing tools to prevent you relapsing.

  Relapse is prevented by making sure that my clients have the resources – positive habits and understanding – to stay on their chosen path of being free from their habit. You will leave the sessions feeling well-prepared for your new life. With easy-to-applicable tools supporting your healthy and free being.

The most probable cause of insomnia is excess muscular tension and anxiety over sleeping, as well as excessive thinking or worrying.

Sleep improvement is important for preventing and modifying many health problems.

This is my process:

• We will probably need 2 or 3 sessions to solve your problem and restore your natural sleeping patterns.
• For chronic cases, you should plan on 6 sessions.
• Working with hypnosis, you’ll learn how to lower your levels of emotional cognitive and physiological alertness, calm your mind, relax your muscles, remove unhelpful behaviours and thinking patterns and encourage positive thinking around sleep.
• I will also share techniques for deeper sleep and relaxation.

We all have times when we lack confidence and do not feel good about ourselves.

When low self-esteem and lack of confidence become a long-term problem, it can negatively impact our mental health, our day-to-day lives, relationships, work and study.

This is my process:

• We’ll start with a chat about your low confidence and what you think its roots might be.
• In our sessions, I’ll use mindfulness, CTB and hypnosis to find out more about your negative thought patterns and core beliefs.
• Together we’ll plant new seeds of acceptance and ease with yourself to enable you to walk through life with faith and courage.
• Depending on you, you’ll feel an improvement after the first session but sometimes between 3 and 6 sessions bare recommended.
