A few things about me
As a clinical hypnotherapist, I help people manage their physical and emotional pain. For many years as a young man, I was an actor then had a big life changing realisation about ten years ago that I wanted to work in helping people make changes in their lives. I had a bout of ill health and it made me realise that I wanted a new start.
My clinic is in the centre of Spennymoor, County Durham. I am friendly, honest and experienced. I’ve helped hundreds of people, using modern hypnosis and advanced Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques, to make positive and powerful changes.
We are all different, so it's about finding out what works for you. I offer all clients looking for Hypnotherapy in Durham and Spennymoor a free face to face or phone consultation to discover how best we can work together. I absolutely believe that a practitioner and client have to be able to work together so this is a good way for us to find out. I am light hearted, patient, a good listener and hard to shock!
Hypnotherapy has a reputation for being mystical or even manipulative. I'm blaming old films and bad sketch comedy. Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state that allows us to communicate more easily with our unconscious mind, accessing resources we didn't know we had. It's a pleasant and gentle experience where you stay in control throughout! You're not asleep or in a coma. The results I get can be magical but this isn't a dark art. It's a way to re-wire and gain fresh perspectives.
I practice brief therapy. You and I will set an outcome so that we can measure success. My aim is for you to make fast and lasting changes, not to keep you in therapy for years, draining your finances and patience. I'd like you to go away happy, then recommend me to your friends. I am also a funeral celebrant, writer and public speaker.
