Effective Professional Hypnotherapy.
SERVICES
Hello and Welcome...
I am a highly qualified Psychologist, Hypnotherapist and Counsellor, so you won't find any fads, gimmicks or hype here - but you have come to the right place if you are for professional, effective help with any of a wide variety of personal issues, such as (but not exclusively!) those listed below:
● Phobias (e.g., fear of certain animals, flying, claustrophobia etc) ● Insomnia ● Assessment and Examination nerves (e.g., Driving test, academic and professional exams) ● Weight loss ● Reducing alcohol consumption ● Smoking cessation ● Nail biting ● Panic attacks ● Fear of public speaking ● Relationship and sexual problems ● Loneliness ● Shyness and social anxiety ● Enhancing sports performance ● Obsessive and compulsive behaviours ● Building confidence and self-esteem ● Enhancing memory and study habits ● Interview nerves and skills ● IBS ● PTSD ● Pain management ● Loss and bereavement ● Skills training
You have come to a highly qualified and experienced professional. I am a Professor and Doctor of Psychology and been a professional Psychologist for over thirty years. I have practiced, taught and researched psychology and counselling at a number of British universities over this period. I have published several books and numerous research articles and presented national and international conference papers in these areas. I have appeared on radio and television and my work has been reported in national newspapers.
While a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, I maintained a general counselling practice (with cores in person-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches) and, in the course of this, developed an interest in hypnosis. I was impressed by the speed and effectiveness of high quality hypnotherapy. To offer this to my clients, I undertook additional training in clinical hypnotherapy and am a registered hypnotherapist (GHR).
Hypnosis can undoubtedly be a powerful therapeutic tool when used with an in-depth background knowledge of psychology and counselling and an evidence based approach. High quality hypnotherapy can provide you with a safe, effective and rapid means to achieve change in your life. My background enables me to keep informed and understand at a deep level the relevant psychological research on hypnotherapy, to ensure that you get the maximum benefit of every hypnotherapy session on whatever issue; it assures effective professional hypnotherapy. Without a substantial background in psychology any therapy could be rather like shooting a gun in the dark . . .
As a professional psychologist I seek to uphold the highest standards of conduct and ethics in my hypnotherapy and counselling practise. As my client, you will be treated positively and with respect. All consultations are totally confidential. I aim to serve Southport and surrounding areas and provide a free no-obligation initial consultation.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is simply a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. It is similar to the state of daydreaming we experience every day when we perform well learned tasks such as driving on a familiar road, or when we become engrossed in a TV programme or reading.
Hypnosis enables you to achieve this altered state of consciousness deliberately and, though the use of guided imagery and visualisation, allows you to use it to make changes toward achieving some specific, positive personal goals. Unlike many traditional therapies, changes can often be achieved very rapidly, typically in just one or a few sessions.
It is important to emphasise that the hypnotic trance is not a sleeping or unconscious state and you cannot be made to do things under hypnosis that you would not ordinarily do.
As a Professor and Doctor of Psychology and registered hypnotherapist (GHR) I have extensive knowledge and experience of psychology and psychological therapies and aim to provide effective professional hypnotherapy in Southport and surrounding areas. I offer a free initial no-obligation consultation to determine if and how I can help you and the form any hypnotherapy should take.
