I meet so many smokers who have tried everything they can think of to give up: gum, patches, NRT, fake cigarettes, NHS support groups, yet nothing has worked. Sound familiar? The vast majority of those patients leave my practice as non-smokers - and remain that way.

If you're ready to re-claim your life then get in touch. You've got everything to gain, and its never too late. Its time: time to change.

Still need some convincing? Take a look at my smoking calculator and see just exactly how much you're spending on cigarettes.

There's no doubt that addictions affect lives both physically and on emotional and psychological levels. Hypnotherapy is highly successful as a means of managing the post-physical psychological withdrawal stage. It can also be highly effective as a means of preparation for withdrawal.

If you know, or think you may have an issue with an addiction - regardless of what that addiction might be - then now is the time to start a new phase in you life. Your Journey begins Here.

Weight control and food management can be highly effective as part of a re-education process. The fundamental fact is that, in general, diets don't work. Many patients come for treatment having been on numerous diets over a period of many years - weight comes off - weight goes on. Sound familiar? Many commercial diets and schemes are designed that way, designed to keep you coming back encouraging a mind set of dependence. It doesn't have to be like that.

Using hypnosis I will help re-educate your unconscious mind with a new, healthier belief system. Its all about you, and enabling you to take control over how you eat, how you perceive food and how you live your life. Treatment is over a minimum of three sessions.

Its time for you to shine. And I'll give you the tools to help you do just that.

A fear of flying can make life truly miserable, not only for the patient, but for family and friends. Sound familiar? Not being able to enjoy the experience of visiting distant relatives, or taking holidays that require a flight, perhaps even having your career curtailed because the very thought of getting on a plane fills you with dread. These are the scenarios all too often presented by patients.

It really doesn't have to be like that. Hypnotherapy is a highly effective method to help you overcome your fears. Many patients have taken that first step to freedom - the freedom of the skies - and I'll show you how.

There are a number of possible causes of insomnia, some psychological, some physical, hypnotherapy can help you overcome the obstacles preventing you from sleeping. Most patients should expect to see an improvement after a three session course, some with less. Hypnotherapy can help with a process of subliminal re-education and imparting techniques to help you relax, slow down your thought patterns and dissociate yourself from environmental factors.

Before beginning treatment it is essential to consult your GP in order to eliminate any possible physical or genetic factors.

Erythrophobia, or, an extreme reaction to the act of blushing is far more common than you might imagine. There are however ways and means of taking control over your blushing.

When tension turns to stress and begins to affect our lives in negative ways though its time to deal with it.

Got a habit you want to break? Whether your habit is nail-biting, hand washing or another form of unwanted habit hypnotherapy can be highly effective in helping you overcome it once and for all.

By helping you to unlearn this behaviour hypnosis can give you back control over your life. Treatment is generally done over three sessions, though occasionally, and depending on the extent of the habit behaviour it can take less, or perhaps a little more.
