Hypnotherapy – a powerful alternative

Modern cognitive hypnotherapy is an enjoyable and relaxing experience allowing you to access your full potential with relatively little effort and in a short time. You are in control all the time and... it feels great!
Cognitive Hypnotherapy:
CBT + Hypnosis, an effective combination
Combining (CBT) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Clinical Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT) creates a powerful treatment solution that can help with a wide range of issues.
CBT has the strongest evidence base for effectiveness of any "talking therapy". Hypnotherapy too has a good record of effectiveness. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (combining CBT and hypnosis) allows for deep, effective and rapid treatment that lasts.
Most issues are a result of excess tension and arousal combined with unhelpful/poor thinking habits - leading to negative emotional states and avoidant or destructive behaviour. With a systematic approach to relaxation and changing your thinking habits, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnosis, you will enjoy freedom from many negative emotional states and experience greater ease and empowerment in your life.
An evidence-based approach - treatments that work
Clients deserve to know that the treatments provided are effective.
I'm currently chairman of the Register for Evidence-Based Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy - and we require all members to pledge to use the best treatments available based on the evidence obtained in clinical research studies.
For example I don't use NLP or EFT - simply because these do not have proven effectiveness (popular as they may seem to be these days).
I believe therapy should make sense - it shouldn't be mysterious or mystical or include unnecessary ideas or theories.
I regularly recommend clients take up yoga (for which there is good evidence of effectiveness for stress, back pain and weight control) as well as meditation - again this has good evidence of effectiveness in clinical trials (see Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness Meditation).
Skills Training Approach - tools for life!
I ensure that all clients learn essential skills in relaxation, self-hypnosis and positive "self-talk". I regard these as "skills for living" as they are fundamental to well-being and our sense of empowerment.
My focus is on training, educating and inspiring my clients to be able to deal positively with all situations in their lives, present and future, and so empowering them to take control of their lives, thinking and emotions.
Many people are concerned that they will lose control when under hypnosis - this is simply not the case. Indeed I consider that learning self-hypnosis involves the individual reclaiming control of their internal attention and thoughts.
Some models of therapy invest the therapist with great power and insight, for example the therapist helps you uncover repressed memories that you can't have access to in normal awareness. I'm fundamentally opposed to these sorts of models and believe that therapy should always be about giving the client a greater and greater sense of personal control. Clinical research shows that giving patients and clients more control and choice leads to a stronger and more robust personal psychology.
