Hypnotherapy is a way of bringing about beneficial changes in our lives. It shares some features in common with meditation in that it brings about changes in the brain which are calming and open up ways of bringing about change. We can then learn new strategies and ways of being that better serve us. You remain in control at all times.

The challenges, difficulties and pain that everyday living often brings can restrict our lives and keep us stuck in patterns of behaviour that don't serve us well. Hypnotherapy can help us in bringing about beneficial changes in our lives. I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist accredited with the National Council of Hypnotherapy and the College of Transformational Therapy, and I trained as a Hypnotherapist after personally experiencing this effective therapy which supports us in finding new solutions and ways of coping, new ways of learning and of challenging thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve our best interests. It is useful for most problems including anxiety, confidence, life and relationship problems, stopping smoking and other harmful habits, physical/medical problems, life-restricting phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD and phobias can be treated comfortably and quickly with The Rewind Technique, a tried-and-tested approach. For many years, these and other severe anxiety-based conditions were considered treatable only through long, painful exposure therapy, and in some cases, not at all. Now, thankfully, we have access to a comfortable, effective treatment that can greatly reduce, and even remove, these symptoms quickly. Rewind does not need you to go over the traumatic incident(s) again although many people with trauma or phobias have been treated using approaches which drag them back through the experience again; a highly unpleasant thing to have to do. This does not happen with the Rewind, and I do not in fact even need to know the details of what happened to you.

Research results for the Rewind Technique:

Although research into the Rewind Technique is still in its infancy, one study carried out by the Human Givens Institute
in the UK showed the following results:
Study size: 30 people: 40% of clients rated rewind as extremely successful; 53% rated it as successful. 7% rated it as acceptable. No one rated the Rewind Technique poor or as a failure. Prior to rewind, on average clients rated their well being as 12 out of 50. Seven to 10 days after treatment, the average score was 30.3 out of 50. Three to six months later, the average score was 32.2. This represents an improvement of 167.4 per cent on their original ratings.

A four-year study carried out within NOVA (part of the Barnardo's charity) showed similarly impressive results:
Study size: 47 people, 57% of whom treated with Rewind alone. 26 would have met the criteria for PTSD. After treatment none of the forty-seven people treated met the criteria for PTSD. There was also a significant reduction of all sub symptoms associated with PTSD: five categories had zero reports after treatment. (Human Givens Journal Volume 14, No 4- 2007).

Reiki

Reiki:

The word 'Reiki' comes from the Japanese and is usually translated as 'universal life force energy'. This energy
is channelled through the therapist and received as a natural healing force. Reiki energy can balance physical
systems, help calm the mind and open the heart. It is non-intrusive, and a useful complementary treatment to other
therapies as well as in its own right. I work off the body so no touch is involved. Do ring me for further information.
