There is no such thing as failure - there are just ways of doing things that haven’t worked...
Hypnotherapy is therapy in hypnosis...
Yes, Hypnotherapy works. It has withstood the test of time. In the early days people didn’t understand how it worked - but it did (even though it may have been attributed to the wrong reasons).
A Word From Albert Einstein.
Albert Einstein, a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics and one of the most prolific intellects in human history.
Here is what he has to say: “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
There is plenty of scientific research around now that shows that hypnotherapy works and it makes one wonder why it isn’t used more by traditional medicine using professional people that know how to effect change. ‘People Power’ will eventually make that happen.
Professor Peter Whorwell, Gastroenterologist who heads the only NHS-funded hypnotherapy centre in Britain, which has been pioneering the therapy as a treatment of irritable bowel syndrome says;
“One of the problems is the name. If we started off again with a name like neuromodulation, for example, it would be more readily accepted. The name hypnotism has so much baggage attached. Cognitive behavioural therapy is now reasonably well accepted, and so, too, is psychotherapy, but of the three, I would say hypnotism is potentially the most powerful. It is becoming a treatment of choice for IBS.
When I am dead and gone, people are going to suddenly realise that hypnotism is an incredibly powerful tool and question why it has been ignored for so long.'' *

So what is Hypnotism?
The Left Brain:
We have a left brain whose function it is to use Willpower so that you can achieve your outcome. To do this it uses Analytical thinking and Rational thinking.
The Right Brain:
The right brain works differently however. The right brain doesn’t analyse. Doesn’t need to rationalise or use willpower. So whilst for example research tells us that it takes 7-10 days for the chemicals of cigarettes to leave the body, or 3 to 4 months for Marijuana/Pot to leave the body, analytically we might assume this will be a problem... In hypnosis, we can ask the right brain to release these chemicals under awareness from the conscious feelings, as well as the connections to when you usually smoke, and come out feeling like a non-smoker.
The same can be said for food, alcohol or gambling. All things that our left brain analyses as being too hard to release. The right brain doesn’t have such problems. It can put in full up feelings when you have had enough to eat. In alcohol we often use it as a band aid to cope with our stresses in life. Release the stress, and put in a stopper after a couple of drinks which will seem sufficient now. Find out the real reason for gambling, release the trigger and the right brain can make the changes from being a gambler to being a non-gambler.
The right brain doesn’t evaluate whether it can or can’t, it works on feelings and emotions - it can just put things into place. If it doesn’t, there is usually a very good reason that we haven’t yet worked through.
In hypnotherapy, patients are helped by the therapist to reach what's described as a relaxed state of consciousness, like being absorbed in a good book. Therapists may start by describing images that create a sense of security and well-being. They may then suggest ways of achieving specific goals, releasing feelings and emotions from a negative happening in their lives, or releasing addictions.
You can read more information on hypnotherapy by browsing this site.
Am I the Right Therapist for you?
I have even written a short booklet which you will find on the site by looking under ‘Hypnosis Info’. But you will get a general idea by reading the contents on this site and using your ‘Gut feeling’. Did you know that you have a ‘Gut Brain’ that can work separately from your head brain? 60 percent of your enteric nervous system is in your gut and can often give you messages about the things that are happening in your life.
What Can Hypnosis Do?
I have placed some of the issues on this site. If you don’t see it on the site, send me an email from my ‘Contact’ page and ask me. Over 20+ years of practice, I have dealt with a lot of issues you probably won’t see here.
I have worked in a Private Pain and Trauma Management Rehabilitation Center, and I have worked as a Child Sexual Assault Counsellor. I work with children with varying issues and have the training to deal with many issues.
You may be looking for sports motivation and improvement. Memory and concentration, erectile dysfunction problems, fear of talking at your daughters wedding, or making the grooms speech or a workshop to motivate and improve your employees performance. Or doing a Company Quit Smoking/Release weight workshop.
Stage Hypnosis is not Hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy requires that the therapist has the knowledge and skills to create therapeutic changes in the hypnotic trance state. Many see it as the mind being taken over by the hypnotist and loss of control, which is completely erroneous. Don’t go expecting me to make you cluck like a chicken, that is not what I do - I am here to make changes with you so that you can look forward to having a healthy and happy life.
Health Funds.
After all you have read above, it makes you wonder why Health Funds are not offering that therapy in their cover in their policies, and those that did cover hypnosis are now taking it off their newer policies? Could it be that they want to create a monopoly to keep things in the medical fraternity, or just give you less for your money? So check with your health fund. If it is shown in the click down menu below, it means that I was accepted for a Provide Number at one time - but not in all their policies, and possibly not in their newer policies.
Money can’t buy health.
Health is my and your responsibility. And to prevent ill health is more important than waiting until you are ill. I stopped smoking when I knew even though I only got bronchitis once a year - it was harder to get rid of each year. That is the Universe giving me a nudge, telling me something needs my attention. Giving up the smoking habit was the best thing I ever did for my health.
