Online Hypnotherapy

Online hypnotherapy delivers the same outcomes as visiting me in my consulting rooms. It provides safe face-to-face therapy without you having the inconvenience of travelling to and from my consulting rooms.

The answer is yes. Using the Internet is more efficient than a visit to a consulting room as, in the present Covid-19 restrictions, you would have to wear a mask. The face-covering would impede the therapists’ ability to read your non-verbal communication, a crucial therapy element.

I have over forty-one years of experience as a hypnotherapist and have been using safe online therapy successfully since March 2020. 

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and relies on the subject following instructions from the therapist. Trance is something that human beings experience regularly and are not aware of it. E.G., Watching television, going to the cinema, or just creative thinking. So there is nothing unusual for you to experience.

Just as if you were seeing me at my office. I would have a conversation about your requirements, and we would jointly formulate a pattern that would help you achieve your goals. I would then guide you through a trans-state to implement the agreed outcomes.

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of all our communication; therefore, we must use a communication method with end to end encrypted. FaceTime complies with this requirement, but if you don’t have that facility, I use Doxy.me (a secure system used by the medical profession). All you need is a mobile phone, computer, or tablet. I send you a link to your email address. You click the link, and you will have a connection to my virtual consulting room.

I can offer you a free initial consultation enabling you to test out the system. You can ask questions, and then you can go off and consider how you want to proceed or fix an appointment to start treatment.

Just contact me and make the appointment.

Much like a sports coach a health coach uses their skills to bring out your natural abilities. Your body wants nothing more than to be the best version of itself so it can serve you as efficiently and as effectively as it can. I can do the same for your mind.

This means we can both truly go all in and do some deep transformation work. In a nutshell, over a course of 12 weeks, I’ll put in place the system that you need to make change inevitable, whilst giving you all the support and accountability that you need along the way.

This ensures you keep on track until you reach your prized goal. I  will always hold you to the vision you have for yourself and give you everything from hand-holding through to tough love as you need it

Hypnotherapy makes use of a natural and relaxed altered state of consciousness, often referred to as a trance state. Have you ever found yourself so observed in a good film that you’ve become oblivious to everything around you or arrived at your destination realising you can’t remember the details of your drive?

If so, then congratulations you’ve already experienced a trance state without even realising it! By helping you to switch your focus from the external world to your internal one we can assist you to take on board new helpful imagery and positive suggestions. If on the other hand there are unhelpful memories in your past, perhaps once you’re no longer consciously aware of them that are contributing to your issues, then we can also help you to release and move on from these.

NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. NLP helps people to explore the relationship between what they think (neuro), how they communicate (our language) and their patterns of behaviour and emotions (programmes).

These collections of tools can help break down what can feel like overwhelming issues to yourself down into a workable process and in turn move you towards your goals. NLP is also great at building flexibility in behaviour and allowing us to assist you in creating helpful states as well as collapsing those unhelpful ones.

Whilst Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious part of our mind, (that internal part which we’re not aware of in our day to day thinking), CBP works with the conscious part. Thus by offering a blend of techniques we can tackle your issues and move you towards your goals on all levels.

CBP stands for Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy and uses techniques from the field of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) which has gained a lot of positive attention and popularity recently, and for good reason. At their heart, they both examine the interaction between people’s thoughts, behaviours and emotions.

By understanding how each one influences the other, we can in turn assist you in creating more helpful and constructive thoughts and behaviours. The solution-focused nature of CBP means that rather than dwelling on the problem itself, we focus on moving you towards your goal in a relatively short amount of time.

As mentioned earlier, Hypnotherapy is a perfectly natural process. The Hypnotherapist role is to act as a guide to the client, steering them through a process of self-hypnosis. If you don’t want to be hypnotised, then you won’t be and once in a trance state any suggestions can be freely accepted or rejected by your subconscious as it feels is best for yourself. It is also not possible to become stuck in hypnosis as like sleep if left alone you would naturally ‘wake up’ after a short time.

There are certain medications and medical conditions that need additional consideration before using hypnotherapy, all of which will be checked by me during the initial phone consultation and first session.

This varies from client to client and on the complexity of the presenting issue. For the full-on work involved in the Health Coaching Programme, it’s 12 sessions. For a small simple weight loss, I would recommend three sessions, with a Hypno-band requiring five.

I am happy to discuss the likely number of sessions with you during the initial phone consultation. For longer work, I always undertake a review after every third session before mutually agreeing to book further sessions.

Sadly no method can guarantee to work for every single person, every time and naturally the level of success will vary from person to person. We would also strongly suggest that you be wary of anyone making such unachievable claims.

What I can guarantee is to use all of my knowledge, skills and expertise to create the best bespoke solution that I can for yourself. In turn, I will ask you to help maximise your success by following any guidance and homework that I set for you, thus maximising the effectiveness of the client-coach partnership.
