London Hypnotherapy|CBT|NLP Coaching

Once we have spoken and you have decided that I am the right therapist for you, the next step is that we will arrange to meet at my therapy room; well actually in my case, I have several ( see below for further information). 

 

During our first session, I will assess your problem, along with identifying the way you think, and how you process information in order for me to work out your very own personalised treatment plan.

 

Our second session will focus on removing your problem using the various techniques at my disposal. If required (and it’s not always the case) I may write and record for you, your very own personalised hypnotic download that will help you move faster towards your goals.

 

It can be very difficult to put an exact number on how many sessions you will need, as everybody is unique and no two problems are the same. My promise to you is to treat you in the shortest time possible. Some people can be treated in as few as 2 sessions, although the average is between 4 and 6 sessions, with some people requiring more. Once therapy has been started, it can sometimes take a different direction, and other underlying problems may start to surface, that may require a series of sessions.

 

 When am I available?

 

Currently I am available late afternoons, evenings till 8pm and some weekends.

 

 Where do I carry out therapy?

 

I am currently carrying out therapy from a cabin on HMS President which is on the river Thames directly opposite Temple tube station. The postal address is HMS President (1918) Victoria Embankment, London EC4Y 0HJ.  This is conveniently located in London’s West End and is directly opposite Temple tube station on the river Thames.

 

On Tuesday evenings and some weekends, I work from a comfortable therapy room on the fifth floor at 89 Fleet Street EC4Y 1DH.  89 Fleet Street is in very close proximity to St. Paul's and Blackfriars tube stations and City Thameslink rail station. It is in easy walking distance of Farringdon and Temple tube stations. It is also on several bus routes including the 11, 15, 23, 26 and 76.

 

In some exceptional cases I can arrange to visit clients personally.

 

 How long do the sessions last?

 

Our sessions last on average around 60 minutes, although sometimes they do run over. I don’t see clients back to back, and ensure that my time with you is your time and not rushed.

 

 How much does it cost?

 

My rate are £97 and I currently accept cash, credit card payment via paypal or direct bank transfer. 

 

I do offer special reduced rates for students who hold a  valid NUS card and university members of staff.

 

If you can’t attend a session, please inform me as soon as possible.  Please note that I ask you to be courteous and provide me with a minimum of 24 hours notice for all cancellations as a matter of fairness to other clients who could take the available appointment time. Cancellations by email or phone are considered an acceptable way of cancelling.

 

I guarantee to work with you to resolve your problems as quickly as possible but I can't offer any 100% guarantees that the treatment will work. I work with my client’s own desire, determination and achievement to help them achieve the results they want to achieve. I help guide them along that path, and help them find the resources within themselves to make positive permanent life time changes. 

 

Personally I don’t believe that therapists should offer guarantees, as some clients might feel that if the therapy is not successful, that this compounds any negative feelings they may already have about being a failure. 

 

The good news is that if someone really wants to stop smoking or lose weight, then as long as they have the conscious desire, motivation and commitment for it to happen, my role to help it happen is so much more easier than they ever thought possible.

 

 

 

 

 

There are many preconceptions about hypnosis; that it is some form of mind control, that it is deep sleep, that you can be made to ‘cluck like a chicken’ or it’s quite simply a hoax. These have endured despite a long history of use and a growing acceptance of the positive benefits by both the medical and scientific profession.

 

Hypnosis and trance like states have been observed and documented for thousands of years. Egyptian Sleep temples (also known as dream temple) are regarded by some as an early instance of hypnosis in action. For part of his career Sigmund Freud studied and practiced hypnosis, and this contributed to his belief that the unconscious is a powerful force in human behaviour. In the last century, Milton Erickson legitimised and popularised hypnosis and his methods were widely studied by modern clinicians. 

 

However, hypnosis still remains an enigma to the masses, raising fears and apprehension at the very thought of being in trance. Misconceptions have been perpetuated on TV and film by over dramatised performances of people behaving strangely and involuntarily and doing things against their will.Stage hypnotists have compounded these fears further by leading people to think one is capable of doing practically anything while in a trance state. To put the record straight, a stage hypnotist is likely to carefully select his volunteers, by utilising various suggestibility tests. You can’t be made to do anything you don’t want to do or be forced to break your ethical code.
