Q & A's and Privacy Policy

Q. How does Hypnosis work?

A. As you are open to change, hypnosis is a perfect therapy. Every client I have worked with using hypnosis has loved it. The experience really relaxing and peaceful, most clients can't wait to experience it again!

Q. Are there any side effects?

A. There is a small possibility of an abreaction (getting upset) but I am trained to guide you back out and into the safe haven we set up at the start.

Q. Can I get "stuck" in Hypnosis?

A. No, Hypnoisis is a state of relaxation, not something you can get "stuck" in.

Q. I don't like being out of control so can Hypnosis still work for me?

A. As long as you trust your Hypnotist, can relax and open your mind you will find you are in control at all times, just not at a conscious level. Hypnotherapy is similar to day dreaming, you are in control and can come out at any time you want.

Q.What is NLP? In a nutshell: 'NLP changes your experience of The World, as well as creating an appreciation of how others experience theirs. You gain new perspectives, enhance how you communicate to create personal change within your own life, as well as having the option to use NLP tools and concepts to create change with others and how you interact with them.'

Q. What does NLP stand for?

N Neuro-Neurology: The study of the mind and nervous system: how we think and our Physiology. (Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory)

Q. Can NLP make real difference for me? NLP is a powerful tool on it's own as well as enhancing Coaching and Hypnotherapy.

With NLP we can change beliefs (do you still believe in Father Christmas?), overcome disproportionate emotional reactions, anxiety, anchor positive feelings, conquer phobias, even re balance relationships with a parent, child, boss, employee as well as a spouse or partner (all without their involvement!)

Q. I have heard of a time based NLP, is that going to past lives? Used for current issues, NLP time line technique is not regression back to previous lives. NLP is always used positively to go into your past to find the event that caused a trauma, also releasing limiting beliefs and negative emotions relating to physical and emotional health. It is also used for accessing resources from the past for use now and in the future, removing anxiety and building a really compelling future for achieving goals.

 Q. What is IEMT? – Integral Eye Movement Therapy is effective change work that swiftly to sensitise negative memories for most.

This quick and simple method is not a 'cure' but can lead to rapid release and relief working very well for trauma (PTSD), anger, panic, anxiety, depression and feeling over-reactive. IEMT often succeeds in bringing positive change where other therapies have been unsuccessful.

Q. What is it used for?

IEMT is suitable for adults and children who have experienced trauma or have PTSD. Victims of sexual abuse, physical and psychological domestic or any other relationship abuse, attacks, mugging, post accident and victims of terrorist attacks.

IEMT has been widely used in the military to alleviate suffering of post traumatic stress – I don’t like using the word ‘disorder’ as it is natural that having witnessed or experienced traumatic incidents it would cause trauma, it can also help to identify and then work on the common patterns behind why people may have been stuck in their problems. It is perfect for sensitive issues as there is no requirement to disclose content unlike in some other methods. 

IEMT addresses and resolves the question: “How did this person learn to feel this way about this thing?” then works on the memories that are causing the patterns of emotional responses that may be preventing a person from living fully. 

IEMT also works very well for trauma (PTSD), anger, panic, anxiety, depression and feeling over-reactive. IEMT often succeeds in bringing positive change where other therapies have been unsuccessful.

Q How does IEMT work?

IEMT works by utilising eye accessing cues, please call me if you would like a quick demonstration as to try to write out a full answer would take a lot  more time! 01622 842248

How does coaching work? Coaching is a series of conversations and focusses on the client discovering answers for themselves. 

Do you give advice? People are far more likely to engage with solutions they have come up with for themselves, rather than other advice or those that are forced on them! 

What is coaching mostly used for? Coaching is widely used for making decisions at work maybe working towards a promotion, new job or even changing career. In personal life, coaching can clafiry how you feel about, or how to approach changing a relationship whether that is to move forward with a new one, or to change or even end an existing one well. Coaching can even help you focus on steps towards a holiday, new car, new home, new life by involving and promoting conscious awareness of the resources and abilities needed.

Coaching isn't...
