Hypnotherapy and You

Change "should" be simple but we know it's not. For me, it was like Snakes & Ladders, you would make some progress then slide back to square one.Hypnosis changed that. It can help you make lasting progress because it speaks to the part of you which has a problem with your plans. Part of you wants a new start, a new way forward, but another part, for some hidden notion, isn't happy with change and it keeps you stuck.This talk of "parts" is just everyday language. We know what's really going on. (Most of it anyway.) I have a scientific background researching hypnosis in psychology labs, and I use hypnosis with medical patients in the NHS. I aim to use hypnosis in the most scientifically accurate way possible to help you move forward without sliding back.Fears, phobias, anxieties, habits and anything that lives deep in the brain can be influenced by hypnosis.And while hypnosis is not magic, it's not nothing either. It's completely natural, a way to balance the differing parts of a mind. I often use hypnosis alongside other therapies. (Psychological and practical).Hypnosis is a way of guiding your brain to get fully behind what you want to do, or what you want to stop.

AM I READY? WHAT NEXT?

Hypnotherapy

[1] Anxiety; Phobias, Emetophobia
Spiders, Stage Fright, Planes, Needles, MRI Scanners, Gastroscopy
Has it ever worked when someone tells you "there's nothing to be afraid of"? Fears and phobias are seldom rational. Hypnosis is uniquely able to help get rid of your fears and reactions

[2] Pains
Whether it’s pain from a chronic medical issue, e.g. fibromyalgia, CRPS, tinnitus, or emotion so bad it hurts, or pain you get with physical intimacy, I can likely offer you some help. Pain is actually the most scientifically researched area of hypnosis, but it takes more time than most doctors have available. I have professional expertise with pain and know how complicated it can be. Find out how hypnosis can help


[3] Addictions & Habits
Smoking; Sugar; Substances; Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours
How much is addiction; how much is habit; and how much is not believing you can really change? What to do? Especially when you might want to keep something about a BFRB. (No problem btw.) Consider contacting me by scrolling to the bottom of the page. Note: for smoking I only offer stop smoking and freedom - no half measures

[4] Weight Loss and Emotional Eating
GLP-1 injections ("skinny jabs") for weight are effective, however studies show that nearly everyone regains when they stop taking the drugs:
[1] you may prefer something more natural
[2] injections do nothing to address the causes of emotional eating.
Not everyone wants to inject ongoing (costly) medication. I'll help you make the changes you want addressing the root causes of your emotional eating [But if your weight is driven by "habit" see [3] above]

[5] Fear/ Doubt/ OCD/ Perfectionism
Fear, compulsions, obsessions, constant doubting which can’t be switched off
The thoughts and doubts can be all-consuming and for some people it can be the worst kind of horrible (if you know, you know); I will not judge you no matter what, and I've worked with everything. Hypnotherapy can work alongside any other treatment

[6] Fitness for over-50s -- getting the mindset to finally "do something about it"
Because I am also a physio (and over 50) I see the challenges normal, older people have getting fitter. I keep it simple and individual to you. I have the professional background to share sound knowledge, and hypnosis can be a game changer for helping you with exercise, diet, and stress reduction. And of course, any age is welcome!
