I practice at the Hove Hypnotherapy Centre with my wife, Jennie

From an early age I became interested in motivation and self-development having discovered self-hypnosis techniques which helped me to become a non-smoker (I used to have a 30-a-day habit!). Gradually as I became more absorbed by the ideas and possibilities for personal growth and change, in all our lives, I undertook more study.

In 1992-3 I trained and qualified with N-SHAP (National School of Hypnosis and Advanced Psychotherapy) then went on to become a Hypnotherapist full time. My qualifications also, subsequently, include NLP Practitioner and both General and Substance Misuse Counselling. I am also an Accredited Member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy.

Just a few of the Problems/Aims that Advanced Hypnotherapy can assist with
  • Lack of Confidence
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety/Panic Attacks
  • Fears/Phobias
  • Mental/Emotional Trauma
  • Depression/Lack of Motivation
  • Skin Problems
  • Migraines
  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
  • Stress
  • Self-Confidence/Worth/Esteem/Respect
  • Unwanted Habits (Smoking/Alcohol/Drugs/Nail Biting/Overeating)
  • Sexual Addiction/Problems
  • Personal Growth
  • Sports / Self Improvement
  • Goal Setting
  • Life Coaching
In full time Private Practice I offer clients help to make changes in relevant areas of their lives. Whilst I am particularly interested in issues around (lack of) confidence, self esteem/worth, and self respect; depression/low motivation, stress/anxiety, panic attacks, phobias and unwanted habits such as smoking, alcohol/drug problems, overweight/eating problems, and sexual problems; I also work with clients on many other issues (See List).

Clients also come because they want to work on Personal Growth, Goal Setting and Realising Goals, Sports Improvement, Presentation Skills and other areas of Self Improvement.

Self-Hypnosis (is wonderful!)

In most cases clients are taught simple self-hypnosis techniques during their session(s). This is a wonderful and empowering life-skill and resource for you to take away with you and use in all areas of your life. It is now widely used (sometimes under a different heading) at top levels in sport, the arts and business; indeed in any area of life where people desire to excel.

How do I make an appointment for Hypnotherapy?

It can be daunting phoning round to attempt to find a hypnotherapist who is not only right for you, but will help you make the positive changes or outcomes you wish for your 'self'.

My pledge to you, in this regard, is as follows -

Whilst the majority of clients I see simply phone and make an appointment (after a short chat on the phone), some quite naturally prefer to have an initial, free and without obligation, face to face assessment. You will not be asked to make any commitment at this assessment, but rather given all the information you may need and then, later, choose to make an appointment.

Many clients choose to make an appointment at this assessment stage anyway.

I will endeavour to ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision, about committing to a course of therapy. Sometimes, at this stage, clients are unsure, or don't know, what to ask about. This is quite understandable so I will, again, endeavour to cover all aspects at this important, initial meeting (or telephone conversation).

Very occasionally clients coming for the assessment ask to bring a partner or spouse along with them. This is in order. It is important that you feel entirely comfortable prior to embarking on your agreed therapy.

As a qualified Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner -

I am committed to providing an experience of therapy which is both positive and beneficial, in a caring and professional environment. In such an atmosphere I find clients are able to freely make realistic and empowering life changes and outcomes.

I am bound by a strict Code of Regulations and Ethics required by both the Central Register of Hypnotherapy and the National Council for Hypnotherapy. As such I am also required to carry full insurance. I also undertake regular training courses and supervision of my therapy work. I am committed to Equal Opportunities.

STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY IS A CORNERSTONE OF THE PRACTICE.
