Sceptical about hypnosis?
There is a lot of public misconception about hypnosis due to stage shows giving the impression that it is 'mind control'. It is far from mind control, instead hypnosis is a pleasant and natural state of mind - similar to a relaxed daydream. Reassuringly, there is no loss of conscious control and the mind is not (unlike the impression given in stage hypnosis) being taken over in any way by the hypnotist!
If you believe only weak-minded people can be hypnotised, in reality the reverse is true. Open-minded people with at least average intelligence respond well to hypnotherapy. But absolutely everyone can experience hypnosis - it's a natural and daily state of mind for us all. More particularly, the 'reprogramming' achieved with hypnotherapy has wide potential to facilitate beneficial change.
With a passion for helping people, Alan Gray will help you get on track towards health and wellbeing. Of course, hypnotherapy is not about 'miracle cures.' As a scientifically proven approach, it provides realistic solutions to a wide range of 'mind-related' everyday problems. This is because hypnotherapy reaches the unconscious mind quite unlike other treatments.
As well as many individuals, Alan Gray has worked with student doctors from the Hull and York Medical School and for North Yorkshire Police. His clients have ranged from 6 to 90 years old. Youngsters under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during therapy sessions.
It is now scientifically understood that much of what we think and do can be strongly influenced by unconscious (subconscious) thought processes - our automatically flowing thoughts. Where these occurs as negative 'programming' they have a detrimental effect on our health, confidence and self-esteem. They create physical and mental disharmony. Many 'mind-linked' chronic conditions thereby develop from unconscious automatic thinking of which stress and anxiety are often central causes.
Safe and natural state of mind
It is reassuring to know that hypnosis is a natural, safe and pleasant state of mind without any side-effects (unlike many medications) – similar to a relaxed daydream. You won't go to sleep, and you won't 'go under' anything! Instead you remain fully in control at all times and reach a new level of beneficial and heightened awareness.
Using a MRI scanner, brain wave activity during hypnosis can now be scientifically measured. In this focused state, research has shown the mind to be unconsciously enhanced. Learning, memory recall and the ability to address behavioural patterns are all improved, aided and processed during hypnotic trance.
Does hypnotherapy work?
The answer to this question can be based on both formal research and practical experience. The evidence is positive and very few individuals fail to realise a benefit from hypnotherapy, if they are prepared to fully engage with the process and have an open mind. In comparison, few conventional medical treatments are completely successful with chronic conditions. Most medications have undesirable 'side-effects' and drug treatments are frequently used to just control, and not cure, chronic symptoms.
Quite simply, where the mind is involved hypnotherapy has the potential to make a positive difference. Typically this includes people who suffer from: fears, habits, phobias, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, depression, anger, IBS, sexual issues, OCD, lack self-confidence, want to stop smoking, lose weight, are obsessive or compulsive, have examination, test and interview nerves, low self-esteem, seek personal development, want to increase their motivation, and many other aspects of health and success.
Can hypnotherapy guarantee 100% success every time? That would be unrealistic and unethical to claim. There is no question the mind has an extraordinary influence on all parts of the body. Hypnotherapy creates harmony between the conscious (thinking) and unconscious (automatic) functioning minds. Ultimately, we become what we think.
Alan Gray often integrates psychotherapy with hypnotherapy to achieve the very best results.

Alan will provide an appointment in the near future that suits you. Confidentially discuss your needs & issues before beginning therapy. Provide full professional support throughout your time with him.
• Do you experienceanxiety, get stressed, or suffer from panic attacks? • Perhaps you're being held back by a lack of confidence, shyness, blushing, low self-esteem, or fears of what others think? • Do you suffer from phobias, sexual problems, or shortage of 'get up and go' motivation? • Are unwanted habits causing you and your family distress? • Do you want to improve your health - stop smoking, be slimmer & fitter... lose weight...? • Are limiting beliefs restricting your enjoyment of life?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you're come to the right place! Although sometimes helpful, other 'talking therapies' such as counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychotherapy do not directly access the subconscious. Additionally, hypnotherapy updates the mind's subconscious memories with changes made at source. And it's a relatively brief process.
An independent survey by Dr Alfred Barrios, an expert in mind-body health (Source: American Health Magazine) showed a 93% recovery rate with hypnotherapy treatment. Hypnotherapy can address many conditions which have a 'mind-component', i.e. where the memory has been 'programmed' to creates undesirable effects - such as a compulsion to overeat, often called emotional or comfort eating. >> Does Hypnosis Work?

Hypnosis is a beautifully relaxed & natural state of mind. If you can daydream you can be hypnotised, and never against your will – you retain conscious control at all times.
Did you know? Hypnotherapy was officially approved by the highly regarded British Medical Association (BMA) as long ago as 1955. The BMA then described the therapy as a ‘valuable medical tool’, a treatment of choice for many psychosomatic (mind-body) conditions.

A SCARBOROUGH hypnotherapist has become one of the first in the country to achieve a new national standard of excellence for his therapy. Alan Gray, of Scarborough Hypnotherapy in Falsgrave Road, has been registered by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council, the UK regulator for complementary healthcare. The recognition places him at the forefront of a national drive to provide a benchmark for standards and safety for the public. Practitioners registered with the CNHC meet national occupational standards and abide by a rigorous code of conduct, performance and ethics.
Mr Gray said: “Achieving registration is not only great news for me and my clients, but a vital step for hypnotherapy.This is the time of year when many people are struggling to keep up their New Year resolutions. The most popular uses for hypnotherapy are stress and anxiety-related conditions, weight control, irritable bowel syndrome, sexual issues, many phobias and addictive behaviours such as smoking and alcohol abuse.”
Hypnotherapy is one of 11 disciplines now recognised by the CNHC. Members of the public can search the council’s register to find practitioners in their local area. More than 40,000 searches were carried out last year. By providing a verification of standards, the organisation allows GPs, hospitals, private healthcare providers and insurance companies to refer patients to hypnotherapy practitioners or to make hypnotherapy more readily available in health centres, clinics, doctors’ surgeries and hospitals.
