A caring and professional hypnotherapist in Banstead, Redhill and Ockley,
Surrey specialising is the treatment of phobias.
The purpose of this web page is to provide you with a brief introduction to what you may expect from a short series of sessions in hypnotherapy. As your choice of a suitably-qualified Hypnotherapist can be crucial to the success of your treatment, I have included a short paragraph on my background and qualifications.
WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?
Hypnotherapy involves the use of relaxation and mental imagery in order to achieve a state of deep relaxation. Having guided you into deep relaxation, the therapist is able to offer carefully composed and individually-tailored positive suggestions. These suggestions address the root causes of many difficulties, thus enabling you to deal with them with your own resources.
THE TREATMENT:
During your initial consultation, a short course of one-hour sessions is outlined. The degree of the problem and the rate of your progress should determine the number of sessions you may need.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:
You will feel a deep sense of relaxation whilst at the same time retaining an awareness of what is going on around you. Your conscious mind may remember some of the suggestion therapy but the main work will be in progress within your own subconscious. On returning to full consciousness, you will feel very pleasantly serene and relaxed.
WHAT CAN HYPNOTHERAPY TREAT?
Hypnotherapy has an outstanding record of effectiveness in the treatment of phobias. Negative thoughts can be replaced by positive feelings, and confidence will improve. Habits such as smoking and nail-biting are also easily addressed, although some willpower may be required.
CAN I BE INFLUENCED TO DO ANYTHING AGAINST MY WILL OR NATURE?
No. When you under hypnosis, you can still reject any of the suggestions given if you feel they are not appropriate.
The worst thing that could happen to you is that you may fall asleep!
BACKGROUND
I was born in 1946, and I have spent most of my life living in Surrey. I have three grown children. My early career included working in export sales, philately and financial administration. The caring aspect to my nature first manifested itself in 1989, when I ran a residential care home for three years.
I served as a TA Reservist from 1968 to 2001 and was selected for mobilisation during 1992 in support of the UN (UNPROFOR) and later the NATO (IFOR) operation in the Former Yugoslavia. I spent prolonged periods of time in front line areas, not without some hazard. In addition, I was exposed to the raw emotions of many victims of war crimes, whose detailed, often harrowing, accounts I had to record.
During the closing stages of my army career, I decided that my unique life-experience had furnished me with an extraordinary set of interpersonal skills to offer society. These skills would have gone to waste had I not chosen to become a hypnotherapist. My decision came as no surprise to those who know me well.
I currently specialise in the treatment of phobias, smoking cessation
and Servicemen who suffer from the effects of PTSD.
