I am a Clinical Hypnotherapis with Dhp MNCP & CNHC plus a foundation level in Counselling and hold a Diploma (OND) in caring services, and NVQ level 2, with over thirty years experience as a professional in the Caring Services Sector. I have always had a keen interest in Complementary therapies and enjoy meeting new people. Now as a qualified Hypnotherapist I would like to help you realise your potential, build up your self-worth, take back control and live your life to the full. At AM First Steps Hypnotherapy I know that hypnosis is a totally safe and a natural method of treatment. It has no unpleasant side effects unless you fail to declare medical conditions at the initial consultation. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind and body. It cannot change any one's personality. It cannot make a person act against their will. Hypnosis cannot do any harm to you or others. It is a very positive treatment enabling you to refocus your negative thoughts to more positive thoughts and feelings. Hypnotherapy is an individual treatment that goes hand in hand with Hypnosis. They work as a team to bring about life changes and healing by changing negative responses, habits, beliefs and improving confidence, increase calmness and the ability to respond to situations in a better way. When in a relaxed state, during your therapy, you will remain conscious throughout the session, hear my voice, and have a heightened awareness of your surroundings. Each technique is based around you as an individual, and I will build a framework to help you work towards your goal. You are in a wonderful state of relaxation without drugs, alcohol or medication. You are in control at all times. Life can be tough. Sometimes we need a little help in achieving our goals to change habits and resolve issues in our personal or social lives. My aim is to help you achieve your goals, unlock your potential, improve your life and achieve the life you want and deserve by helping you with the following: •Quit smoking •Weight control/ loss •Motivation •Improving confidence •Stress management •Improving focus and performance •Help manage pain •Dealing with phobias •Helping with anxieties •...and many others as these are just some of the issues that Hypnotherapy can help with What will happen on my first visit to see you?
