About Bridgette Mansfield Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapist Bridgette Mansfield DipHyp GHR NGH GHSC is based in Winchmore Hill, North London N21, Keats Complementary Health in Enfield, SK Life & Fitness in Goffs Oak and the Eve-and-Adam spa in St Albans, Herts.

I am a registered hypnotherapist and HypnoBirthing practitioner, and a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register, General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and HypnoBirthing Institute. These organisations operate strict codes of conduct and ethics - which are upheld faithfully. I am experienced in using the most up-to-date and advanced techniques in Hypnosis including NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).
I am also extremely passionate about how hypnotherapy can help with all kinds of problems especially stopping smoking, weight control, unwanted habits and behaviours, anxiety, fears & phobias, birthing and many more.

Hypnosis is most commonly associated with losing weight and stopping smoking. While these are wonderful benefits from the practical application of hypnosis, they are just a small sampling of the possibilities.

For example, hypnosis can be an excellent tool when applied to school work, studying, or academics in general. As the new school year begins, for both children and those adults who are returning to school, anxiety and unease are often heightened. Hypnosis can be an effective tool for calming your nerves and taking the edge off your stress. But that’s not all. It can also aid in increasing your concentration, in developing a better memory, in building stronger study habits, even in making the learning process easier.

Many of these same skills can be applied to career development as well. Self confidence, decision making, verbal and written skills, motivation, concentration and comprehension ... these are all important job skills that can be enhanced through the use of hypnosis. Having a slight edge in any of these areas can open up an entire world of new opportunities.

But it doesn’t stop there. Hypnosis can also enhance your athletic performance. Not only can it be used to increase your self-discipline, it can be used to help you focus on each and every aspect of your athletic execution (whether it be swimming, rugby, skiing, football, etc) to improve each little movement which in turn improves your overall performance. The results of using hypnosis for fitness and competition have proven amazing, making this a valuable training tool for athletes in all sports, at any level.

And there’s more. Hypnosis can be used for overcoming your fears. The fear of public speaking, claustrophobia, stage fright, a fear of heights or spiders or snakes ... these are all areas that can improve dramatically when hypnosis is administered by a professional hypnotherapist.

How about bad habits? We addressed some of the more common ones in overeating and smoking. But hypnosis can be applied to nearly any bad habit, be it biting your nails or procrastination, compulsively checking your e-mail or hair pulling. And while these may strike you as minor bad habits, hypnosis can be helpful with the big ones as well: gambling, drug abuse, alcoholism, etc.

Pain control, depression, memory improvement, healing, relationships, tension and stress ... the list of areas where hypnosis can be used goes on and on. In many of these situations, hypnosis can be used on its own, in others it can be used in conjunction with other therapies or treatments.
Whether working with a professional hypnotherapist, or working the problem through with self-hypnosis, you’ll be amazed at how hypnosis can improve many of the areas of your life.

Hypnotherapy works because it allows you to recognise that those unwanted behaviours that have become part of your everyday life are no longer useful to you and that you are ready to change. It is your conscious part of your mind that wants you to change but it is the unconscious part that is in control and with hypnosis we can access this part to help you change your habits.

My training, work experience and any achievement

I trained with some of the best hypnotherapists in the country - the longest serving HypnoBirthing practitioner (Steve Griffiths) in the country and Hypnotic Solutions hypnotherapist Brian Jacobs (who trained with Paul McKenna).

I have had many successes, here are just a few

Stopping Smoking
I had tried to give up smoking many times in the past and had been successful for short periods. What I had always struggled with, however, was starting again in times of stress or upset. A friend suggested that I try hypnosis and recommended Bridgette Mansfield. Right from the start of my session I was made to feel welcome and was taken into a comfortable room. I was able to explain to Bridgette the reasons why I wanted to stop smoking and the triggers that had always caused me to start again. Bridgette told me exactly what hypnosis was and what would occur during the session and I was put into a deeply relaxed state. I was well aware of everything that was going on, and did not feel frightened or anxious at any time. Eighteen months on I am still a non smoker and am confident that I will never smoke again. I have been through some extremely stressful times in the last few weeks and have not been tempted to smoke. The difference between how I feel about smoking now, is that the part of me that doesn’t want to smoke is so much stronger than any fleeting temptation I may have, and it is easy to control the very rare thoughts that pop into my head.

I thoroughly recommend Bridgette’s hypnotherapy and have in fact recommended friends who have also successfully stopped smoking. My advice to anyone that is considering stopping is that hypnosis definitely does work. I made my money back within only a few weeks so in addition to feeling much better, I am much richer too!

Weight Loss
"Having met Bridgette at a meeting and feeling she was someone I could trust, I decided to tackle my lifelong problem with eating. I asked Bridgette if she could help and she said she would. Over the ensuing couple of months I went for a weekly session and found each one deeply relaxing. Whatever she did it worked and I have been losing weight effortlessly. During an extremely stressful time recently when I would normally turn to food I can honestly say the thought didn’t enter my head. Without trying I am enjoying the process of transformation and feeling so much more positive about myself. I highly recommend Bridgette if you have a similar problem. It works!"

Congratulations to the wonderful Bridgette Mansfield (www.123relax.co.uk). In one session of hypnotherapy she has cured my 10 year old daughter of car sickness. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! We did a 3 hour straight car journey to Eastbourne

Hope you are well. Just thought I would email you to let you know how I am getting on. I finished college last month and am feeling so much better then I did 6 months ago. I feel so much more positive and hopeful about the future. Walking around is not really a problem either now and I have been doing it more and more. Thank you so much for your help and if I ever get stuck with anything again I will definitely be coming back to you.
Thanks so much

Happy Xmas and thank you for making such a difference to peoples lives - especially mine!

Nail Biting
Thought you may like to know that I haven’t bitten my nails since I saw you and have been conscious of when they have got near my mouth! One of my nails broke yesterday - amazing how much they grow in 2 weeks! Thank you very much.

I would like to thank you by way of a testimonial for the work you have done with me regarding my insect phobia and getting my mindset just right for an incredible journey and adventure I went on last year. Without you having done the work you did I would not have been able to enjoy it as wholly as I so did!

When I came to discuss my issues/phobias with you I felt at ease even though at least one of them was clearly ridiculous! In just a few sessions you addressed these issues and totally changed the way I feel about most insects and creepy crawlies. It is now me that picks them up and carries them outside happily waving them in my husbands face!

The other issue we addressed was a more difficult one. I was travelling to Africa to carry out some charity work and was a little nervous of what I might feel. Bridgette ensured that I was in the right frame of mind to deal with the various concerns as they arose. I remember one of my main worries was how I would be able to leave the country I was going to knowing there was still more work to be done. I have to say of all the people in the group I was the most upbeat at this stage and was able to convince them that we truly had made a difference – things that would not have been achieved had we n
