Clinical Hypnotherapist.
I want your visit here to be both interesting and informative, so I have to make a really big assumption before we start.
You have arrived here because, you want to change something. Maybe a habit like smoking, eating or drinking, or a way of thinking about yourself or others, such as anger or frustration , maybe an all consuming fascination in someone or something. The fear of something which is getting really out of control or just the desire to do something new and different, but something is holding you back and you don’t quite know what.
It is possible that an existing client may have recommended me to you, or you may have tried other methods and I am your last resort to deal with whatever it is that is now bothering you. Put quite simply I help people change the way they think, feel or respond to thoughts and events on a day to day basis. In order that they achieve the results they want. The method I use is hypnosis, its not miracles or magic, it is definitely not witchcraft or the supernatural. Hypnosis is our own natural ability to use our imagination, combined with clear thinking and reasoning to build and create a whole new way of thinking or behaving. Hypnotherapy has structure and form, with a beginning middle and end. Its not addictive, its not toxic, it has no side effects and based upon my experience and that of my clients, it most definitely works.
As my client when you ask me to listen if I begin giving advice,
I have not done
what you asked of me.
As my client when you ask me to listen if I begin to tell you why you should not feel that way, I am ignoring your feelings.
As my client when you asked me to listen, if you need to do something other than talk for me to understand, I will have failed you.
All that I can do for you at the beginning is listen, not talk or do, just hear.
As my client you are not helpless – you may have been discouraged and faltered in the past, but you are not helpless.
As my client I will accept without question as a simple fact of life, that you do feel what you feel, no matter how difficult or irrational it may seem, so that we can get about the business of understanding what's behind that feeling.
As my client when whatever is supporting your discomfort becomes clear, and it will. The answers to your difficulties or problems will become obvious, you won’t need advice, but just some help in dealing with the obstacles which may be in your way.
Because our own irrational feelings and fears make much more sense when we understand what is supporting them.
Therefore, in the beginning I will listen while you speak and when you are ready to talk and begin change. We will….
I provide a free drop in service on Thursdays in Chepstow for anyone wanting to discuss how hypnotherapy or hypnosis can be used, no appointment is necessary but you may have a short wait if I am with clients. Alternatively please contact me and I will ensure I am available when you arrive
