Stop Smoking:
Despite the well-known and documented dangers of smoking, millions of people continue their habit, and often loved ones will be puzzled as to why they just don’t stop if they know it’s destroying their health. Every 4 seconds somebody in the world dies as a result of smoking, (by the time you’ve read this paragraph 30 people will have died from smoking!!) A smoker’s heart beats an extra 3 million times a year; giving the heart an extra ten per cent ‘unnecessary’ work. If you think Stopping Smoking is hard, try telling your loved ones you’re dying of cancer’?
Unfortunately, logic has very little to do with the smoking habit – it’s actually controlled by the subconscious mind, which stores memories, habits and emotions. Hypnotherapy has been demonstrated to be the most effective ‘drug free’ method of kicking the smoking habit permanently, as it targets the powerful part of the mind and replaces the old bad habit with a new positive one. All you need to bring to a session is ‘yourself’ and a GENUINE desire to STOP and a BELIEF you will, the rest is easy! Sit back and relax…

Weight Loss:
Have you ever tried sticking to a diet and ended up giving in? First we form habits, and then those habits form us! However, if we don’t conquer our bad habits, they will control us! Your bad habits reside in your subconscious & it’s in your subconscious that hypnosis can change them. Our society is obsessed with how we look; magazines are covered with glossy pictures (mostly air brushed) of the “perfect figure”. Image is seen as all-too important. People aspire to a ‘norm’ which is in fact ‘abnormal’; it’s no wonder then, that many people are concerned about their weight – whether it is too big or too thin!
But Weight Loss is not about diets or exercise but rather about the ‘head stuff’ that blocks you from achieving your desired outcome. If you want to get lasting, long term change you have to include your mind!
Hypnotherapy can help you shed those pounds by controlling binge eating and adapting your eating habits to live a healthier lifestyle, motivating you to exercise. Just as important, your confidence will be boosted as research has shown that we often turn to food as emotional comfort when we are feeling down about ourselves.

Anxiety and Stress:
Anxiety, or what we often call stress, is a natural part of our daily lives – even positive events can be stressful, and our lives would probably be a little dull if there wasn’t a small element of occasional stress! But ‘Stress’ is a silent killer in our society. However, it is important to manage our stress effectively and prevent build up. Without treatment, it can result in physical and emotional problems, such as high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, depression and headaches,diabetes to name a few. Relieving stress is like letting steam out of a pressure valve. If you don’t, something will eventually ‘blow’ and the warning signs are as follows:
• Heart palpitations, heart pounding, irregular heart beat, increased heart rate, chest pains.
• Increased blood pressure.
• Persistent fatigue.
• Tension headaches or migraine.
• Sleep disturbances, sleeplessness/insomnia, and restlessness, sleeping too much or early waking and finding difficulty falling asleep.
• Loss of concentration,fuzzy perception or poor judgement,skin problems.
• Mood swings, irritability, moodiness or anger.
• Low self-esteem, libido.
• Panic attacks or nervousness.
• Loss of sense of humour.
• Over emotional, tearful.
How stressed are you? Probably more than you think you are? If you’ve ticked more than 4 of the above you’re stressed.

Achieving Goals/Self Motivation:
Is there something you really want to do, but feel something is holding you back? Whatever means you choose to make personal changes, unless you first begin to change the old programming, all those years of conditioning that have kept you doing it the same old way, the likely outcome is that what you want to accomplish will at worst, not work, or at best, not last. Hypnosis works in the ‘engine room’ of change, your subconscious mind and addresses the issues that need to change!
Hypnotherapy can help you achieve your goals by tackling the obstacles you feel are holding you back. Whether you’d like to change jobs, make more money, move house,start a business, pass an exam, get a promotion hypnosis is the most effective way of developing the ‘mind set’ required to achieve any goal. It gives you the blueprint to the success and ‘enables you’ to get what you want!

Phobias and Fears:
Although these terms are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between a fear and a phobia. We can have a fear of poisonous spiders, for example, but this would be seen as rational as there is a definite potential threat to our survival. However, a phobia is classed as an irrational fear, such as fear of open spaces, cupboards, mice, or just about anything!
Phobias can appear in childhood as a result of fear, which was attached to an object or experience. Additionally, they may have been formed from behaviour passed down from a parent. For example, if a child’s parent is afraid of dogs, they may teach their child that dogs are dangerous and are to be avoided at all costs. Alternatively, a phobia may follow a traumatic event, such as being bitten by a dog, or animal.
Over time, phobias can cause a lot of distress to the sufferer, affecting many areas of their lives. Fortunately, phobias can be successfully treated with hypnotherapy, simply by diminishing the fear.

Sports Performance:
What the mind can conceive the body can achieve? Professional and amateur sport is littered with evidence of that. To train the body to the limit of its capability and not include ‘The Mind’ is to invite mediocrity?
Twenty first century sport, I believe, suffers from ‘analysis paralysis’, every facet of every endeavour seems to be picked over in the finest detail? What has happened to the elegance of ‘simplicity’? Is the beautiful game the beautiful game anymore? Do you enjoy your sport anymore?
Hypnosis in its simplicity addresses all the issues that may be causing you concern: Focus, Fear, Commitment, Concentration, Motivation, Goal setting, Visualisation (getting in the zone), Enjoyment, Relaxation. And it does so, in the right hands, with eloquence, elegance and effective simplicity!
More and more of the worlds professional sportspeople are now utilising hypnosis as a critical component of their training! They know it works!
Whatever your sport, let Hypnosis take you to the next level.

Hypnotic/Virtual Gastric Band:
Have you considered having Bariatric Surgery, whether it’s: A Gastric Band: Gastric Balloon or a full Gastric Bypass? Since UK celebrities Fern Britton and Vanessa Feltz et al have made the procedure ‘en vogue’, people having it done has risen at an exponential rate.
But, all invasive surgery has risk, the worst being death, which I suppose is the ultimate in a Weight Loss programme, pardon my flippancy? Cost can also be prohibitive? Bariatric surgery can have a devastating effect on the patients long term health.
But perhaps the most common ‘post operative’ problems come from the psychological and lifestyle shifts patients must make after their operations. Bariatric surgery is no magic wand or a walk in the park and one in five operations (20%) fails due to psychological problems?
A quarter to a fifth of patients have bad outcomes, particularly if they have a history of: Binge Eating, Bulimia or Depression. If you are eating for a need in your brain rather than a need in your stomach then having your stomach reduced is not going to solve that? Your mind really is the key don’t underestimate that. What you think is what you become?
Alternatives are sorely needed and should be considered? An estimated one million Britons pass the NHS threshold for treatment: A BMI of 40 or more or 35/40 if you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Your GP will probably offer you little apart from the extremes of surgery or advise you to go away and eat fruit and cabbage…..hardly encouraging or the help and advice you were looking for?
Gastric Balloon: £4000.00
Gastric Band: £6000.00
Gastric Bypass: £11000.00
What if you could have all the benefits of a Surgical Gastric Band, without the surgery, side effects and exorbitant cost? BECAUSE YOU CAN !
Whatever means you choose to lose weight it involves making personal changes and requires your total commitment. Unless you first begin to change the old programming, all those years of conditioning that have kept you doing things the same old way, the likely outcome is, what you want to accomplish will, at worst, not work, or at best, not last (that’s why New Year resolutions don’t work).
Hypnosis works in the ‘engine room’ of change, your subconscious mind and addresses once and for all, the issues that ‘need to change’!
How it’s structured:
Therapy is spread over 4 weeks, each session lasting approximately one hour.
Week One: The first session is to establish your full history, explain the therapy, how it works and answer all your questions. At the conclusion of the session only suitable applicants will be invited to proceed.
Week Two: The second session addresses issues that may have arisen from your history be they emotional, historical, familial. Components that may be strong indicators to why you have failed to lose weight before? This session deals with these issues. In effect this is the session that gets rid of all the baggage you’ve been carrying around with you, the stuff you don’t need, the stuff that’s caused you to fail in the past….the ‘ head stuff ‘.
Week Three: The third session takes you on a Virtual Hypnotic journey resulting in the mind and body fully accepting the procedure and it’s therapeutic changes: A golf ball sized stomach, diminished appetite and a desire to eat healthy nutritious food!
Week Four: The fourth session is a ‘debrief’ and a recap of the journey you have embarked on, during which you will be shown techniques to maintain your progress and take back control and begin to live the life you deserve and want!
