My training, work experience and any achievement

I come to hypnotherapy from a background of many years teaching in an FE college. I trained to become a hypnotherapist with the Royal Berkshire College of Clinical Hypnotherapy. I am also a qualified yoga teacher.
I am passionate about hypnotherapy and the way that it can help people achieve positive changes in their life.

----------------------------------
Hypnoanalysis is used where there are emotional issues and sometimes self destructive behaviours. These problems usually relate back to emotionally painful events in the past, often in childhood. Whilst being in a hypnotised state, clients are encouraged to talk about any events that may have caused emotional pain in the past, and which may still be having an effect in their current life. By talking about the event, the client can discharge any emotion surrounding it and move on in their life. Hypnoanalysis can enable profound positive change to happen.

-------------------------------------

EFT is a simple tapping technique that is used to help clients deal with any event or situation that causes anxiety. It can be taught within a single session and clients can take the technique with them. It works by tapping with fingers on acupuncture points around the body. If tension or stress are being held within the body this is a simple technique to release it.

-------------------------------------

The concept, developed by Bandler and Grinder, of this is:

"Doing something well, consistently, is not an accident - it is a process."

"Doing something badly, consistently, is not an accident - it is a process."

NLP looks at use of language and how we programme ourselves with the words that we use to behave in a particular way. Once people become aware of this process, they can use it to facilitate positive change and break away from bad habits.
