I
specialise in dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, weight control,
stress management, smoking cessation, changing habits, removing fears
and phobias, overcoming depression, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), relationship
issues, public speaking anxiety, memory and study habits, and improving
confidence and self esteem.
if
you don't see what you are looking for, then do get in touch to discuss
your requirements. My years of experience and extensive training has given
me the knowledge and flexibility to help you deal with most psychological
issues.
As
a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner and life coach, my
services can more effectively treat many of the things that you might
have considered visiting a counsellor for, and a lot more besides.
It
is also my aim to help you resolve your issues as quickly as possible
and by using the incredible power of your own mind, enable you to achieve
the life you want.
Many
specific issues can be very quickly dealt with in around
4 to 8 sessions, for more deep rooted or complex issues, more sessions
will be required. However as we are all unique individuals,
you decide when you have reached resolution.
I
am a full-time professional, qualified and experienced Manchester
Hypnotherapist, Solution-Focused Integrative Psychotherapist, Life Coach
and a Licensed NLP Master Practitioner. I
have trained with some of the best psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and NLP
trainers, including Paul McKenna, and by Dr Richard Bandler - the creator
of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I have received training in both
Ericksonian and traditional hypnotherapy, and combine all my skills and
experience to produce a treatment that is tailored to your exact needs.
So that together we can work to help you to change in the quickest and
most effortless ways possible. By using
a solution focused approach, results can be achieved in a much shorter
time than when using traditional counselling or psychoanalysis.
I
offer an Initial Consultation/Assessment Session which gives us
the chance to begin to explore your issues further. I will give you honest
answers to any questions you might have and give you a realistic estimate
of the number of sessions you may require.
My
services can be combined and tailored to your individual or company needs,
and range from one to one private therapy or coaching sessions through
to group training and workshops.

you are committed to making the inner changes you need,

What
attitudes and expectations will ensure even better success?
If
you have these attitudes and expections, then your success will be greatly
enhanced.
You
are interested in improving yourself and your quality of life.
You
are realistic and are not expecting a no effort 'instant fix'
or 'magic cure' of a lifetimes worth of problems in a single
session.
You realise
therapy is not something 'done' to you 'while-u-wait' but requires
that you
be actively involved in the process.
You are
prepared to work cooperatively with the therapist to work through
your issues.
You are
prepared to invest some of your time and energy into changing
yourself. In return for a little effort, you get to feel better
for the rest of your life.

What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy
is used to assist people in breaking free of any destructive thought
patterns that keep on spoiling their quality of life in some way. It's
a kind of preventative medicine.
Hypnotherapy, and particularly self-hypnosis, can help people
to deal and to cope effectively with the pressures and stress of modern
day living.
Hypnotherapy is not just about problems, it is about getting
in touch with why you are like you are, and who you want to be.
Hypnotherapy
is not a no effort required'magic wand' cure,
however for certain issues it can be a fast and effective form of therapy.
Especially when compared to more traditional treatments like counselling.
The British
Medical Association approved hypnotherapy as a valid medical treatment
in 1955 and the American Medical Association followed in 1958.
Some
questions you might have asked
yourself about hypnotherapy:
What
is hypnosis?
A natural state of concentration and absorbtion combined with heightened
awareness. People experience this state of highly absorbed attention
naturally throughout each and every day. Common examples might include,
day dreaming, when you are totally immersed in a book or TV show, engrossed
in a favourite hobby or even when driving.
What
is Hypnotherapy?
In hypnotherapy you are guided into hypnosis for therapeutic purposes.
It is literally therapy done while in the state of hypnosis and can
be thought of as an effective and speedy form of psychotherapy.
Can
anyone be hypnotised?
Yes - if they want to be.
Can
I be forced to do things against my will?
Emphatically, NO! You are always in control.
Are drugs
ever used?
No - never.
Will I be asleep?
No - you will be aware of what is going on all the time, and just feel
very relaxed.
Why
hypnotherapy and NLP are effective,
and how they differ from other therapies:
During hypnosis
the client is in contact with their unconscious mind, the seat of all
emotion and behavioural problems. Most other forms of therapy are carried
out at a conscious level, and often they only work on the symptoms rather
than the underlying cause of the problem.
The will
power of the conscious mind is very weak when compared to the automatic
unconscious responses. These responses and emotional reactions are like
computer programs which keep running and running, causing the same unpleasant
effects, until they are dealt with.
Problems
can occur when a behaviour pattern/program is made in response to a situation
that occurred in the past. When the person grows up, the situation changes,
but the behaviour response sometimes does not. As hypnotherapy and NLP
can change that behaviour response on an unconscious level, the scope
is endless.
It is now
widely recognised by the medical profession that mind and body are closely
related. Therefore, any tension or disease in the mind can cause tension
and disease in the body. Because both hypnotherapy and NLP work with the
unconscious mind, then psychosomatic illnesses can be dealt with very
quickly.

What
is NLP?
NLP creates
a model of how individuals structure their own unique experiences in life.
Using NLP we can step into your view of the world to discover, patterns
of thought, beliefs, values and using NLP techniques, help you to change
those patterns, set compelling goals, build motivation and change your
life for the better.
All NLP is
carried out in a more conscious state, and is therefore particularly suitable
for people or organisations who do not feel comfortable with the idea
of hypnosis but who still would like to benefit from a speedy and effective
form of therapy.
NLP therapy
like hypnotherapy is very quick and effective, for specific issues three
to four sessions are commonly all that is required. Often with noticeable
changes after only a single session. For NLP
life coaching
and business coaching more sessions spread over a longer period
of time are usual.
As well as
offering NLP for therapy, Life
Coaching and Business Coaching, I also use NLP extensively within
my hypnotherapy sessions.
So what does that mean?
It means that by knowing how your brain works you can change it so that
is always working for you and improving your life and the lives of those
around you.
Who can benefit from using NLP?
People from all walks of life use NLP personally and professionally. Often
called the "Psychology of excellence" NLP is used for a multitude
of reasons.
For example:
Individuals
using Neuro Linguistic
Programming for Life Coachingfor self improvement, will find
it easier to achieve their goals, overcome their problems and develop
new skills, because they gain greater access to their internal resources.
Businesses
can utilise NLP
for Business Coachingto greatly improve their sales and customer
service as well as interpersonal management skills.
Educators
can learn how each child learns best by studying the verbal and nonverbal
language of a child. Education is communication of knowledge and experience
through which one can retain the knowledge. NLP is used to strengthen
communication skills of educators so that each student gains the most
in the shortest amount of time.
Counsellors
can help clients make lasting changes quickly and with lasting results.
In a day and age when long drawn out therapies with limited results is
the norm, NLP provides a fast and highly effective alternative.
Medical
and Dental Professionals can eliminate patients' fears and anxieties
about procedures. Along with the use of hypnosis to eliminate any possible
pain the client may be anticipating.
Athletes
can utilise NLP techniques to improve performance and concentration as
well as mastering the skills they need to excel.
Actors
& Performers can utilise NLP techniques in auditions and casting
calls to get jobs. During performances NLP can assist in memorising lines
as well unifying the performer with the character or image they are presenting
for a more powerful performance.
What are the personal benefits of using NLP Coaching?
On the personal side, Life
Coaching will enable you to:
- Achieve
your goals!
- Improve relationships and communication!
- Control you own internal mental states!
- Create powerful new internal states!
- Align your internal resources for maximum enjoyment!
- Communicate quickly and effectively!
- Make your life more fun than you could have ever imagined!
In short,
you will find it easier to achieve your personal and professional goals,
because you'll gain greater access to your internal resources as well
as have more fun while doing it.

I
am very interested in taking therapy out of the consulting room and using
our natural environment as a way to powerfully stimulate our awareness
and promote personal growth. Research has shown that this can be a remarkably
effective method of personal change. It uses all the benefits of counselling,
psychotherapy and coaching combined with outdoor activities and a connection
to the natural world. Suitable for anyone, but particularly effective
for those who love nature and the great outdoors. Can also be successfully
combined with my standard sessions held in my consulting room. Click
here for further information.
I
offer a number of nature-based therapies, ranging from local private one-to-one
ecotherapy sessions through to weekend workshops and retreats held in
beautiful woodland in North Wales.
