I am a Consultant Hypnotherapist and Psychoanalyst, and a registered member of the National Register of Advanced Hypnotherapists, the Hypnothink Foundation and an associate member of the International Stress Management Association. I trained with the Hypnotherapy Control Board and have ongoing training both in Hypnosis and Stress Management. I am dedicated to the professional and ethical use of Hypnosis for the treatment of nervous disorders and emotional problems. I deal with many problems, so whether you simply need a little help to stop smoking, or you are a suicidal melancholic, you will get my best attention at all times. I will respect totally you confidentiality, and right to privacy and anonymity. My practice hours are from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday to Friday. After hours appointments are available for an additional fee. Messages can be left on my answer machine 24 hours a day.

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is perfectly ordinary. It is not magic; neither is there anything mystical about it. It is a naturally occurring state of the mind. Conscious hypnosis, which I use, simply relaxes you deeply. You are aware of your surroundings, can hear everything, are not asleep in the normal understanding of the word, can communicate if you want to, and most certainly are not in my power! Therapeutic hypnosis is not like the stage or TV shows you may have seen or heard about. You will not be asked to do anything that may make you look foolish and there is no question of you "loosing control" whilst in hypnosis. I use my voice to induce you into the state of hypnosis. While you are unlikely to feel "hypnotised", you will probably have a feeling of mental and physical relaxation, and your memory may be improved.

Areas of Hypnotherapy treatment

Types of Therapy

Suggestion Therapy

Used to produce a change in behaviour pattern, such as nail-biting, pre-test nerves, relaxation, etc., where there is no underlying cause for the behaviour. This therapy is usually effective immediately, and so only one to three sessions are required - with perhaps a booster at a later date. The sessions last roughly an hour and the cost is £45.00 per session.

Smoking Cessation

If you smoke 20 cigarettes a day you are spending at least £100 a month on your habit. Save that £100 and in just 36 months you could have over £4,000 in the bank - enough to buy a car, put a deposit on a house, or go on a cruise. I can help you stop smoking - in ONE hour, with 95% success and no cravings, bad temper or weight gain. Both the WHICH report and the NEW SCIENTIST magazine have concluded that of all the methods of stopping smoking, hypnotherapy is the most successful. The session lasts one hour and the cost is £125.00 (cash only).

Weight Loss

Most people who want to lose weight have been on every diet known. They lose weight, even get down to their target, but before they know it they are up to their original weight plus 7 pounds or so. With my help you will learn to use your subconscious mind to lose those extra pounds, and keep them off - easily. £45.00 per session

Analytical Therapy (Hypnoanalysis)

Used to treat conditions like alcohol or drug abuse, allergies, depression, eating disorders, migraine, panic attacks, phobias, sexual problems and so on. With this therapy you will achieve a complete and lasting release as opposed to mere control of symptoms by suggestion. Analytical therapy usually takes between 8 and 12 sessions. Everyone (even "normal" people) can benefit from Analysis. For insight into yourself there is no equal. £45.00 per session.

Making an Appointment

I offer a free half hour introductory consultation, so that we can meet each other and together we can decide whether I am the right person to help you. Consultations are by appointment only. To make an appointment, please telephone. Whilst I am with a client, I cannot be disturbed, so please leave a message on my answer machine and I will return your call as soon as I can.
