Train to be a Hypnotherapist

Having worked as an investigator with the Department for Work and Pensions for 25 years and ready for a new challenge, I eventually became interested in the ‘mind and body’ connection following a personal illness that proved to be one of life's turning points..

What started out as a hobby quickly became a viable business and I am now furtunate to be based in a GP surgery.

Having delivered workshops both in the UK and on an International scale (teaching the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma and the Virtual Gastric Band workshop) I've met people from all walks of life. Many travel to the clinic from all over the UK, with most referrals received via word-of-mouth and local GPs.

I really believe that Hypnotherapy can make a positive difference to all of our lives and that's why I want to share knowledge of what I have learnt; understanding and enthusiasm for ‘making a difference’ with others who may also have the desire to do the same and help others or indeed to help themselves.

Therefore I'm running some training courses (fully validated by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council) to enable as many people as possible to train to be a Clinical Hypnotherapist.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful form of psychotherapy, which dates back to ancient Greece and has been developed by many individuals over the years. The potential for its use is almost unlimited and helps or relieve many somatic and psychological symptoms including, but not limited to smoking cessation, weight control, anxiety, pain management unwanted habits, sleep problems, enhancing sports performance, fear of Public speaking, exam stress, irrational fears and phobias, Irritable Bowel Syndrome the list goes on…

Do Men not recognise the risks of being overweight?

Too many men are failing to recognise the health risks of being overweight, according to Men's Health Forum chief executive Peter Baker.

He says that by not acting to tackle the problem, the NHS is making "a rod for its own back".

Women face a lot of cultural pressure to be slim. This is largely not because of health concerns and can sometimes to quite have tragic consequences. It does mean though, that many women often have a good understanding of the factors that affect their weight.

The majority of men on the other hand, appear are not to be as bothered about their weight as they maybe should should be. Neither are health services.

A significantly greater proportion of men are overweight or obese (66% of men compared with 57% of women).
