NLP and EFT are used in Bristol and Bath to assist people

or restrictions they currently experience.
SuggestionTherapy
This form of therapy is the best known use of hypnosis.
It makes use of the heightened susceptibility to beneficial
suggestions in order to change bad habits for good ones,
and to build confidence. It is known especially for its
high success rate in helping people to change eating habits
and so lose weight, and in assisting people with pre-test
or business presentation nervousness and so on.
Suggestion therapy has been criticised for dealing only
with the symptoms and not with the cause. For this reason
it is recommended only for the problems mentioned above.
This type of therapy usually only requires one session with
me, and reinforcing sessions with a back-up tape for use
at your own convenience over the first four weeks. If, however,
a booster session is needed, then it would be charged at
half-fee rate, if taken within three months
Analytical Therapy(regression)
This can be summarised briefly as the doctrine of cause
and effect - every symptom must have a cause. Hypno-analysis
reveals and thus removes the cause and consequently relieves
the symptom.
This process uses the state of hypnosis to aid the recall
of past events, in their entirety. The use of such a process
for the relief of nervous conditions was started some three
quarters of a century ago, and has helped countless people
since that time. A past emotionally important event may
be hidden from the conscious mind, but is linked with a
'protective' pattern of behaviour, such as a phobia. By
enabling past events to be re-examined and the emotion released,
those patterns of behaviour which are no longer appropriate,
the symptoms, cease.
It can also be said that people undergoing the analytical
process find it enjoyable and quite fascinating as a route
to greater self-knowledge.
Certain problems respond particularly well to Hypno-analysis,
recent successful cases include Phobias (Agoraphobia, claustrophobia
etc.), Migraine, Anxiety and Panic Attacks, Sexual Problems,
Bulimia, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
This therapy usually takes up to ten weekly sessions of
50 minutes each. This is totally individual and confidential.
Whilst benefits are felt during therapy, problems tend to
be resolved in one or a series of experiences towards the
end.
Other Therapeutic Methods
NLPand Visualisation techniques
may well be employed as and when it is advisable in order
to gain a successful outcome conclusion for the client.
This can be especially useful in preparing someone for a
one off event, such as an interview, a sporting competition,
speaking in public or even getting married! EFT
(known as the "tapping cure" is also used where
indicated in particular cases. This uses a combination of
psychological and physical focus of attention by the client
tapping on his or her meridian points. This can be very
effective in some cases and combines well with hypnotherapy
However,
such techniques will always be discussed and agreed fully
with the client, prior to their use.
