Treatments
OCD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can quickly spiral out of control. What may start as a minor inconvenience can soon become debilitating. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you to overcome your obsessions and compulsions.
The truth is that living with OCD can be incredibly lonely and isolating, and, if left untreated, this condition can quickly worsen, affecting almost every aspect of your life. Even though OCD can be exhausting and debilitating, it doesn’t have to be. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you effectively manage the symptoms.
In the treatment of OCD we focus on taking the fear out of not carrying out some compulsive behaviour. We can use the hypnotic Rewind Technique to decondition the anxiety around not carrying out OCD rituals. When we do this OCD can evaporate amazingly fast.

Fears and Phobias
Fears and phobias can stem from times in our lives when we’re open to suggestion, such as in childhood. Some things seem more threatening to us than is truly the case. Our subconscious mind often deals with this by attempting to keep us away from these perceived threats. One way our subconscious mind does this is by creating the feelings of panic or anxiety. Even though this behaviour is irrational as an adult, our subconscious mind still continues to behave in the way that it perceives is best to protect us. (The primary function of our subconscious mind is to protect us). In hypnosis we are communicating with the subconscious mind and can therefore re-learn behaviours and allow you to see that this ‘thing’ is not truly a threat. By using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for phobias, you are then able to respond in a more appropriate and rational way and the good news is that most phobias can be cured in only four sessions.
Addictions & Habbits
When something becomes a habit or addiction, it stops being fun. If cutting down or stopping seems difficult or even impossible, hypnotherapy can help change that. I can help you to change your thought patterns and understand the whole problem surrounding your addiction or habit. We will discover the causes and triggers of the problem and how to make the necessary changes. In the case of substances such as alcohol, chocolate, sugar etc, it is your reward, your happiness and your habit. You have been trained into using a certain substance to satisfy an array of emotions. Your body then comes to expect/crave it and this emotional training is held in your subconscious mind.Solution Focused Hypnotherapy will work to retrain your subconscious, emotional mind to find other, more resourceful and life enhancing way to fulfil your emotional needs.
Anxiety & Depression
Stress, anxiety and depression can influence our perception of our lives and are the most common reasons that people make appointments with me for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Deep down many people fear that they may fail in their endeavours or are not good enough to achieve the goals they dream to achieve or are too fearful to free themselves from a bad situation or habit. The anxiety and worry itself can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You’re much less likely to perform at your best when feeling overly anxious and worried. A little bit of those feelings is fine, a sign of passion and a motivating factor, but too much can be debilitating and result in overwhelming fear, poor performance or procrastination. We will work together to enable you to let go of underlying negative thoughts and feelings. When that happens, when emotions are brought into balance, the anxiety lifts and you will feel calm and relaxed, confidently able to face and cope with the challenges that life can sometimes throw at us. The hypnotherapy process itself is a holistic process and drug free. Although we often have a specific issue we want to deal with, the benefits often spread across all aspects of life.
Stop Smoking
It’s a fact that there are no benefits to smoking. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy will give you all the skills and strengths you need to be free of smoking in just one 2-hour session.
We will work together to re-educate your subconscious mind to know how wonderful life is as a non-smoker. When this happens, it makes the entire experience for stopping smoking a much more easy and comfortable process. Your personal reasons for wanting to become a non-smoker are addressed.

Thirdly you are put back in control of your own life as opposed to having cigarettes controlling you. This is such a successful therapy that I am very happy to offer free back up sessions with no time limit if you need it. Most people stop smoking after the first session.

Sleep
The importance of sleep to our physical and mental wellbeing cannot be overstated. If you're experiencing poor sleep quality, you need to act now. Good quality sleep is essential for good health and if something has upset your ability to sleep then Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is an ideal solution.
There are many reasons why people suffer from poor quality, or interrupted sleep. It may be that something in your life has caused you to worry and become anxious. If this then effects your sleep, problems can seem worse than they really are. When you are tired it isn’t as easy to deal with life and so you can find yourself in a vicious cycle. Other causes of poor sleep are ever-changing shift patterns, young children, pain and discomfort, or you may have just got into the habit of sleeping badly.
Whatever the reason, Solution Focus Hypnotherapy promotes good quality sleep and helps you to manage stress and overcome anxiety.

Weight Management
The benefits of weight management using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is supported by substantial evidence from years of neuroscientific research.
We will find out why you think that you eat badly, when you developed bad habits and what sparks your unhealthy eating. Then we will have an “Emotional Detox” and give your subconscious mind the reasons and motivation to eat, drink and be healthy. We use hypnotherapy to get you in the right frame of mind to change your eating habits.
Finally we help you change your self-image and your inner beliefs about food and exercise and work on making that change permanent and lasting, not just a fad diet or flash in the pan.

Sport Performance
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps enormously in setting and achieving performance goals, whatever your preferred sport. Mental preparation is such an important part of your success plan, yet it’s often overlooked or ignored as so often sports performance has got more to do with mental abilities than physical ones.
Sports Performance Hypnotherapy helps you to focus your mind; you will be trained how to shut out any distractions or negative thoughts. You will also learn some visualization techniques that will help you to recreate the perfect stroke, shot or a personal best in your mind.
The hypnotherapy sessions will be tailored to your individual needs and will cover issues such as confidence, positive visualisation, self-belief, performance rehearsal, performance nerves and overcoming mental blocks and barriers.

Confidence & Self-Esteem
Low self-confidence and self-esteem can hold us back and stop us enjoying all kinds of life experiences. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is very effective at building confidence in all areas of life, including public speaking, preparing for exams or interviews.
Do you always doubt yourself, put yourself down or constantly apologise? Does the thought of meeting new people fill you with fear? Do you hate being out of your comfort zone and venturing into new territory?
As you go through life some experiences add to your confidence and some take it away. If something has “taken away” your confidence it can be difficult to get it back, as you can then become more vulnerable to other things knocking your confidence.
It may be that you have never had any encouragement or confirmation that you were doing the right thing. Starting a new job and worrying about failure can affect your confidence as can pressure from bosses or parents.
It may be that you have lost confidence in a particular area of your life, for example, if you have fallen off your horse or had an accident in your car. Some people just feel they have always been shy and reserved for no particular reason.
Whatever your personal issues are, gaining more confidence has a wonderfully beneficial effect on all areas of your life and hypnotherapy is an effective means of achieving this. Results are quick, effective and lasting.
