Quit Smoking
So you have had enough. You are determined to quit but have tried everything else: patches, gum, medication – you have even tried going cold turkey !! Now you have decided that hypnotherapy is your last hope to become nicotine free.
I often ask my Clients the question, ‘Why they didn’t try hypnotherapy first?’
Hypnosis is a very powerful ally in the fight against nicotine addiction and habitual smoking.
Various studies throughout the World have shown hypnotherapy to be an extremely effective method to help people quit smoking. It is a permanent, reliable and safe method that does not rely on the use of chemicals to overcome those dreadful cravings. The beauty of hypnotherapy as a quit smoking method is that it not only addresses the chemical dependence of smoking, but it also deals with the behavioural / habitual aspects which many smokers find so hard to break.
Unlike many of the other approaches to quitting, hypnotherapy has no side effects. Using hypnotherapy to quit smoking can be a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
Despite the fact that hypnotherapy is such a successful way of quitting smoking, I have found that it generally takes more than one session to kick the habit. Based on this experience, I have developed a three-session programme to ensure that you enjoy the best results possible.

Equestrian Excellence
Whether you are a nervous rider seeking to become more confident in the saddle, or an experienced competitor looking for that extra edge, hypnotherapy can help you.
Hypnotherapy can assist you and your horse to achieve your personal best by allowing you to develop positive belief systems and dispel your fears / anxieties (both of injury and of failure). Most importantly, hypnotherapy can help re-channel all that nervous energy - for good rather than evil !!
Riding, like any other skill, is based on confidence, self-belief, focus and consistent performance. By using hypnotherapy and other modalities such as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) you can build on these aspects of your riding and enhance your skill levels, markedly.
Through the use of hypnotherapy and other cognitive and behavioural methods, you can develop relaxation skills, build your self-confidence and mentally rehearse what you want to achieve and see yourself successfully reaching your goals.
By modelling excellence and developing positive mechanisms in your riding, you will find that you will achieve a far greater degree of consistency and repeatability each time you ride. These visualisation and modelling techniques are particularly useful ways of addressing the mental strengths that allow improvement and success to occur.
The beauty of hypnotherapy in the equestrian context is that it addresses issues in a non-threatening, safe and supportive manner and is suitable for all disciplines, all skill levels and all ages.
Comfortbirth
What is Comfortbirth ?
Comfortbirth is a programme that has been designed to utilise hypnotherapy in order to promote a healthy, safe, and more comfortable birthing experience for both mother and baby.
In achieving a more comfortable, stress-free birthing experience, the Comfortbirth Aust. programme draws on the extensive work done by the pioneer of natural childbirth, Dr G.D. Read. However, unlike many of the other hypnosis-based child birthing ‘systems’, the Comfortbirth programme has been specifically developed to address Australian conditions, experience and culture.
Through the use of hypnosis and other relaxation skills, the Comfortbirth programme teaches the expectant mother how to overcome many of the fears and anxieties associated with childbirth, that in turn can adversely affect a woman’s physiology during pregnancy and labour. Essentially, the Comfortbirth programme teaches the expectant mother how to work with her body, rather than against it.
The benefits of Comfortbirth
The main benefit of Comfortbirth is that it is a very effective way of achieving a positive birthing outcome for both parents and baby alike.
The key to the Comfortbirth’s success is the high levels of relaxation and confidence that can be achieved by those who undertake the Comfortbirth programme.
Through the use of the skills learnt throughout the programme, mothers are able to work with their bodies, thereby creating a positive birthing experience.
One of the other main benefits of using Comfortbirth techniques is that the use of hypnosis-based methods is a great way of dispelling many of the misconceptions / myths that have built-up around childbirth, over the years.
Most, if not all, of these misconceptions / myths come from centuries of misinformation and ignorance that have tended to be passed down through the ages from mother to daughter and have thereby become deeply rooted in the psyche of many women - especially in the Western World. As a result, these misconceptions can be extremely difficult for people to overcome. However, through the use of hypnosis, these conscious and sub-conscious fears and anxieties can be easily dealt with.
How does Comfortbirth work ?
The easily mastered and applied methods that form the cornerstone of the Comfortbirth programme are based on the use of various hypnotherapeutic relaxation techniques.
Through the use of these hypnotherapeutic techniques, the expectant mother is taught how to achieve two very important goals:1. General Relaxation - a state of overall relaxation of the entire body.
2. Specific Relaxation - the relaxation of specific muscle groups involved in birthing.
General Relaxation- Is an especially useful way of gaining trust and achieving a calm / peaceful state in mother, partner and baby.
- Releases endorphines into the Mother’s system (nature’s morphine).
- Inhibits the production of catecholamines which is a product of the body’s ‘flight / fight’ response, thereby reducing anxiety and stress level within both the mother and her baby.
Specific Relaxation - Naturally relieves the anxiety and apprehension that is being experienced, allowing the muscles of the body to remain relaxed and are ready to work the way that they were originally designed.
- Specifically targets the muscle groups that are affected during final stages of labour.
- Aids the baby’s passage down the birth canal by allowing the various muscle groups to work with the labour and not against it.
The mastery of these various relaxation techniques, by both the expectant mother and her birthing partner, creates an atmosphere of trust, assurance and relaxation.
Having created a positive atmosphere, both the mother and her baby are in a more favourable position (physically, emotionally and mentally) to commence the birthing experience.
Through the use of these techniques, it has been shown that birth is far less stressful for the mother and the baby. As a result, women who have utilised Comfortbirth have experienced more positive birthing outcomes and have reported lower incidents of foetal distress, the use for pain relief and the need for surgical interventions such as forceps, caesarean sections and episiotomies.
Comfortbirth Classes
All Comfortbirth classes are conducted by a specially trained and accredited professional and are undertaken at Comfortbirth’s well-appointed Castle Hill offices, which have easy access and ample visitors’ parking.
The Comfortbirth programme comprises of four, two-hour sessions. Classes are scheduled, regularly, throughout the year.
Normally Comfortbirth classes are conducted in groups of three couples (the expectant mother and her chosen birthing partner). However, private sessions can be arranged.

NLP
What is NLP ?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) combines the three most influential components required to produce a human experience: neurology (thoughts), language (words) and programming (actions).
NLP is about the achievement of goals and gaining wisdom by dispelling the limitations that our perceptions place on us. NLP is a way of enriching the choices that you have and perceive as available in the world around you. It provides tools and skills for the development of individual excellence and the setting and achievement realistic goals through the establishment of simple models for viewing and understanding our perceptions and reality.
By being attuned to our perceptions, we can bring about self-development and change that can allow us to work towards being the person we really want to be.
NLP is an extremely effective way of ridding ourselves of all those thoughts and fears that hold us back and prevent us from achieving our goals and realising our dreams.
How does NLP work ?
NLP is based on the way humans interpret and use their senses. It pays particular attention to the way in which we understand, appreciate and express the signals that we receive from our senses through our neurological system and how we communicate these thoughts and feelings with ourselves and other people. NLP proponents believe that the interplay between what we perceive and how we express it (consciously and subconsciously) determines how we act in response to any given situation – especially if the language we use creates negative perceptions. In essence, NLP explores the way our thoughts are affected by our language and how their interplay affects our behaviour and actions.
Words are anchors for our experiences as they reflect our ideas and understanding. This means that they reflect what we perceive. This perception is not an objective view of reality; it is merely a perceived reality. Unfortunately, people respond to their experiences, not to the reality of a situation itself – they respond to their “perception” of reality.
It is these perceived realities that constantly tend to hold us back or limit us in achieving our goals. The language that we use, both consciously and subconsciously, can act as a direction or signpost to the way we act. These directions can be either positive or negative. Perhaps the best example of this is the old adage of seeing the glass half full, rather than half empty.
It is through the use of these positive signposts that individuals allow themselves to develop positive perceptions, rather than the all too familiar negative views that limit what we do and what we achieve. Essentially, by changing the language that we use, and viewing something in a more positive light, we can alter the limiting affect that the words have on our actions. If we can frame something in positive language we are more able to perceive positive outcomes rather than negative ones.
