Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis 
 How it can help you?

Let me say what it is not! It is not magic; it is not swinging watches, flashing lights, or hallucinogenic drugs. It is not mind control or brain washing. What it is is simply a tool. Just like a car mechanic uses a tool to take apart the engine of your car, and then finds the fault, replaces the part that is broken, and then using his tools to put everything back together again. Hypnosis is simply a tool used by a qualified practitioner who knows what it can do, but also what it cannot. In the hands of a competent therapist, hypnosis can help a person change the way they see the world around them, change the way they feel about, themselves, things, people, places etc.

A textbook definition of hypnosis is that it is a natural phenomenon, and is a most pleasant and very relaxing experience. It is a state of relaxation and concentration at one with a state of heightened awareness induced by suggestion. Through the simple use of my voice, I help a client to relax into a state, which can be best described as that point just before you fall asleep, or just after you have woken up, but know you are not completely awake. It is a truly wonderful feeling. Many of my clients once they have opened their eyes again, say they would just love to have stayed there all day. It is a nice feeling and wonderfully relaxing.

Indeed, the centuries old technique of Hypnosis is being used increasingly these days as an alternative to orthodox medicine where it is proving a valuable alternative to drugs for anaesthesia, to accelerate healing, relieve stress and anxiety. Help boost self confidence, self esteem, improve motivation, assertiveness and self worth.

I hope the information on these web pages has removed some of the myths and mystery that sometimes surrounds hypnosis, and that it is has shown you, what takes place is very normal and certainly non-magical!

As a qualified hypnotherapist with fifteen years practical experience, I specialise in suggestion and analytical hypnotherapy, and am the leading expert in ' stop smoking', 'quit smoking', 'smoking cessation' therapy in Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Lancashire, with success rates running at over 90%. That is not just stopping smoking, but staying stopped, that’s the important thing. Bear in mind I used to smoke myself, so I understand completely what a smoker goes through when they decide to quit the weed! Just check out what some of my past clients have to say!

Suggestion and Analytical Hypnotherapy!

Suggestion hypnotherapy helping a client with a fear of flying - using hypnosis the fears associated with flying are modified, the client changes the way they both think and feel about flying. They become more positive, more confident and more relaxed with both the thought of the flight, and the plane journey it's self.

Suggestion hypnotherapy - is used to help people stop smoking, lose weight, combat anxiety, relieve stress, control pain, panic, migraine, phobias, stress, stage fright,  etc. Help you with relaxation, motivation, self-esteem, communication, public speaking; improve study habits, memory, exam nerves. Greatly improve your sports performance, your business sales performance etc. Usually requires between two and six sessions. (Smoking cessation – one 'super session' only!).

Analytical hypnotherapy - which is used to find the causes of psychological problems? Hypno-Analysis can best be explained as the doctrine of 'cause and effect' every symptom has a cause; Hypno-Analysis helps to reveal this, and so remove the cause, and relieve the symptoms. Emotional problems respond particularly well to 'Hypno-Analysis'. The object of the analysis is to bring you to a moment of surprising and liberating enlightenment, and one can be fairly confident that a release will be obtained usually within eight to twelve sessions. Here we are talking about a complete and lasting release, by finding and removing the originating causes. This type of therapy helps a person release all kinds of emotional baggage, from the present day, back to childhood. This is a totally private and individual therapy.

Analytical hypnotherapy can help you with - anxiety, anger, blushing, bad habits, confidence, depression, frustration, failure, fears, guilt, inhibitions, lose weight, panic, phobias, relaxation, self esteem, sleep problems, shyness, stress, sexual problems, tension, weight control, worry etc.

As you can see, I have helped and am helping clients with all kinds of problems and difficulties. If you really want to be that non-smoker, or lose some weight, or a 'build up of anxiety' is stopping you doing the things you really want and deserve to  do.
