Fact: Hypnotherapy has been approved by both the American and the British Medical Associations as an effective treatment for many clinical conditions.

Fact: Hypnotherapy has been proved by independent research to be the most effective method of stopping smoking.

Fact: Hypnosis has been extensively used in dentistry, surgery and child birth as a means of blocking pain without using anaesthetics.

Fact: All hypnotherapists are NOT the same. Most will only give you suggestions which will not address the root course of your symptoms. I am specially trained as a hypnoanalyst which means I seek a permanent resolution of your condition.


Fact: Hypnosis opens up new and exciting opportunities for you to fully enjoy your life, free from fears and anxieties.

There is no such thing as a 'hypnotised feeling’, only deep relaxation.

Natural and Normal


Hypnosis is a natural state of mind which most people experience several times a day.

For example, when driving on familiar roads, day-dreaming, or enjoying a good book.
During hypnotherapy you will therefore be fully in control and can talk with ease. Your mind is not taken over, nor will you do anything that you do not desire.
 
During therapy, you will be helped in several ways. You may want to stop doing something e.g. quit smoking or over eating. You may want to start doing something you would like to do - such as public speaking or controlling fears.

I like to think you will find me a caring and understanding professional. I’m here to help and will always put the client’s interests first.

Different Hypnotherapy Treatments

There are two different types of treatment which are used in hypnotherapy - Suggestion and Analytical:

a) Clinical Hypnotherapy (Suggestion)

This is generally used for stop smoking, weight loss, nail biting, pre-exam/test nerves, weight management, relaxation and confidence. Suggestion therapy is effective almost immediately and takes one to three sessions, depending upon individual needs. Our Stop Smoking technique is highly successful in ONE session. Other conditions - from weight loss to nail biting - respond extremely well to one or a few sessions.

Suggestion therapy can help with:

• Weight loss
• Driving test confidence
• Exam nerves
• Fear of flying
• Nail biting
• Public speaking nerves
• Stop smoking



b) Analytical Hypnotherapy (Hypnoanalysis)

Hypnoanalysis is a special form of hypnotherapy and one of the best therapies available in the world to treat a wide range of emotional, anxiety and nervous-related issues. These range from lack of confidence to many sexual problems.

Every symptom created by psychosomatic (mind/body) forces must have an originating cause which is more than often emotional. Hypnoanalysis combines hypnosis, relaxation and analytical techniques to objectively and permanently resolve the real and underlying cause of symptoms.

Frequently these are ‘bottled-up’ and unresolved emotional experiences from the earlier years of life – creating various anxieties in adulthood - and which now needs to be gently removed and reviewed from an adult perspective.

Unlike many other treatments, being a natural process hypnoanalysis does not suppress or mask the client’s symptoms - nor uses any form of medication. The past experiences - and their associated emotions - are viewed in a non-judgemental, non-directive, supportive and totally confidential way as an integral part of the therapy.

This isn’t ‘counselling’ or talking through ‘any old stuff’, but client-lead and aided by the memory enhancing properties of hypnosis. It is a very natural and liberating process.

A typical weekly session uses hypnosis as a means of relaxation, creating a comfortable environment for the client. This is followed by talking through key experiences and naturally linking these, in a non-directive way, to associated events. In time, this allows a resolution of the ‘bottled-up’ emotions.

Hypnoanalysis is a relatively short term therapy (6-12 sessions) compared to counselling and psychotherapy and requires active engagement over the period.

Benefits of Hypnoanalysis:

  • . Greater self-confidence
  • . Calmer and more relaxed
  • . Emotionally stronger and stable
  • . Happier and more content
  • . More focused and in control of one’s life
  • . Resilient to stress
  • . Much better understanding of yourself
  • . Motivated to achieve one’s potential in life

Individual Treatments

As each client is unique, treatment is tailored to meet individulal needs. Hypnosis allows easier access to the unconscious mind to facilitate desirable changes.

Suggestion therapy introduces positive thoughts and hypnoanalysis is designed to remove negative thought patterns. The free initial appointment is there to identify the most suitable form of hypnotherapy.

Treating Children

Young persons aged five into their late teens can be very effectively treated with hypnotherapy for a range of conditions in one to three sessions. For best results, the individual should be free of major learning difficulties or any strong obsessions.

The Blowaway technique has been devised specifically for use with children and teenagers. It is a very gentle therapy that produces positive results quickly. Importantly, the young person is NOT required to describe the underlying cause of their symptoms - they are able to release their concerns in other non-verbal ways during the session.

The child needs must be accompanied by at least one parent or other responsible adult with whom the child feels confortable. Click here for more information.

Sexual Issues

Sex plays a central part in many of our lives, either directly or indirectly. Sexual problems can sometimes cause us concern and conditions such as impotence, frigidity, premature ejaculation, performance anxiety, PMS, inhibitions, vaginismus and low libido often have a mind-body influence.

Hypnotherapy can produce amazing results in addressing these symptoms, leading to a transformed and more satisfying sex life. It is well known that good sexual relationships are a great way to release pent-up emotions and improve mental (and physical) health, as well as strengthening the bond between partners. The most powerful sex organ is actually the brain! Click here for more information.

Sports Enhancement

With London winning the 2012 Olympics bid, the spotlight is on sports performance. Added to this is increased everyday interest in physical fitness and competitive activity. Sport is now encouraged as a healthy and character building pursuit.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy can be an invaluable aid in enhancing sports performance in all sports and at all levels. It develops the essential positive mind-set and belief which is key to achieving top results. Click here for more information.

Sales Hypnosis

It is well know by those working in a sales environment that belief in one’s ability to sell is vital. Hypnosis is very effective at developing the right mind-set. Expect to see your sales soar after just a few powerful and enjoyable sessions of sales focused hypnosis! Click here for more information.
