What I can help with

Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can assist in freeing us from a vast range of human ailments. Habits, addictions, phobias, loss of confidence, grief, low self-esteem and depression, performance anxiety of all kinds as well as creative blocks all respond well to the power of accessing the unconscious mind. The bulk of my clients see me for:

Addictions
I have a special interest in smoking cessation. I do this in a single session. I aim to help you actually enjoy the process of stopping being enslaved to tobacco.

Other addictions that respond well to therapy include alcohol and other drugs. These frequently require multiple sessions.

Confidence and Self-esteem
Hypnotherapy is very powerful in helping achieve one's goals. Exams, public speaking, even dating can all be made enjoyable.

Creativity
Hypnosis is an incredibly powerful tool for unblocking creative juices. If new directions in life are proving problematic then hypnotherapy can help.

Phobias and Panic Attacks
All sorts but especially the "big" ones related to spiders, heights, confined spaces, flying, travelling. These all respond very successfully to therapy.

Sporting performance
Including losses of confidence or "plateauing" of performance. I used to compete at national level in a combat sport and am very familiar with the special needs of sporting psychology.

Sexual problems
impotence, frigidity.

Habits
nail biting, hair-pulling etc.

Eating Disorders
Both over-eating and under-eating respond well to therapy. Hypnosis can help making any weight-loss programme attainable and enjoyable and unblock the barriers to healthy eating.

There are other conditions that hypnotherapy in particular is useful for.

What I don't do.
Past life regression. Body augmentation. Anything to do with auras, crystals or similar. I can only do what I am committed to and fully believe in. If you are interested in any of these areas I will happily refer you to colleagues who share those interests.

Testimonials

Why are there no testimonials on this site? For the simple reason that confidentiality is sacrosanct. It is an absolute rule that I do not pass on any details of anything that happens in a session, whether or not someone gives permission. People frequently feel very upbeat after a session and might easily give me permission to share their experiences. What if they later changed their mind after I had posted their testimonial?

Guarantees

Only frauds claim 100% guarantees. I do claim that my methods work and that the majority I have treated report enjoying the process. I offer free follow-ups in the unlikely event that someone (say) starts smoking again within a fortnight of a session. This shows that I believe in what I do.

Fees

A session costs £90 for an hour which includes the consultation.

Smoking cessation is done in a special one-off session lasting about hour and a half for £150. In the unlikely event of your starting to smoke again within the month following your visit, I will include a free follow-up session of an hour within this time.

How often and for how long?

This will take a consultation to decide but most of the above issues can be resolved in 2 to 4 sessions at most. I take pride, especially with smoking, in resolving some issues faster than that. My methods are goal directed. You will not be expected just to "keep coming back"! Measurable and realistic goals will be decided on in the consultation.
