If you feel you would like to discuss your problems in person without committing yourself to any treatment, or if you would like more information and explanation of the treatments before embarking on therapy, then phone for a consultation. This session lasts about 30 minutes during which we can discuss your case and symptoms in strict confidence, and work out which treatment is best for you. There is no obligation to continue with fee based session unless you want to.

  • Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have available. (Behaviour is geared for adaptation, and present behaviour is the best choice available.

  • People have all the Resources they need to succeed and to achieve their desired outcomes. (There are no un-resourceful people, only un-resourceful states.

  • Every behaviour is motivated by a positive intent.

  • You are in charge of your mind, and therefore your results.


The above are four of the presuppositions of NLP and, when you think about it, once we have accepted those assumptions, change is easy. It is all too easy to blame our environment for the way we behave and sometimes it does influence us, however, we are ultimately in charge of our behaviour although sometimes, we need help in sorting out the wood for the trees

Often we are given ‘labels’ by others which is not helpful. We are very aware in NLP of the damage that can be done by people and consequently we focus on behaviour and show people ways that they can change.

Within our therapy we use a wide range of hypnotherapy techniques to help you to make the changes you want to make. Our therapy is tailored specifically to your needs and we work with you to identify the most appropriate course of treatment and the timescales required.

Our therapists are also trained in Time Line Therapy™. As an application of NLP, Time Line Therapy is a collection of techniques that allow you to gain emotional control over your life. Inappropriate emotional reactions, such as bursts of anger, periods of apathy, depression, sadness, anxiety, and chronic fear, are responsible for preventing people from achieving the quality of life they desire.

Limiting decisions, such as "I'm not good enough," "I'll never be rich," or "I don't deserve a great marriage," create false limitations and hamper your ability to create reachable and attainable goals and outcomes.

Created by Dr. Tad James, Time Line Therapy™ techniques enable you to eliminate many types of issues in your past, thus allowing you to move forward toward your goals and desires. One of the huge benefits of Time Line Therapy™ is that much of it is content free. In other words you don’t have to tell the therapist details about your past which may be uncomfortable for you.

We pride ourselves on our success and will take time to talk to you before you undertake treatment with us – this is done to ensure you are committed to succeed and that we can offer appropriate treatment for you. We may require your doctor to be aware of your treatment with us for certain conditions.

There are far too many behaviours or conditions to list on this website so we have listed out a few common ones for your perusal. However, if you have a particular issue you would like to work on then please contact us and we will be delighted to advise how we can help you change.

Remember, we don’t change you……you change yourself…..we just show you new choices that you can make.

Self confidence and self-esteem

Low self esteem can be the root cause of all types of problems from eating disorders through to relationship issues. In fact we see more people with low self esteem than with anything else. Low self esteem is something we learn how to do and, if we can learn how to do it, we can just as easily unlearn it.

How do you know when to be confident and when not to be?

We may all, at times, experience a slight loss of confidence; perhaps if we have received a poor result in an exam or feedback from a boss that we hadn’t expected or missed a putt on the golf course or failed to score from a penalty.

Some people may be shy, others may get anxious. We all behave in the ways we do for a reason. However, some reasons may not be very helpful and lead to low self esteem and low self confidence and these states are not helpful; they can lead to depression and ill health. We work with you to identify new ways of thinking and feeling, to provide you with new options that enable you to look at the world differently – confidently, and assured in your own ability to do the things you want to do and be the person you know you can be.

Habit management

Do you have bad habits?

When you think of having a habit, you may think of something that is negative; you may have heard someone say “that’s a bad habit”. Negative “bad” habits are those learned responses that are maladaptive, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, overeating and drug abuse. They are described as maladaptive because they have a detrimental effect on the individual and in many cases on their families. Of course, what makes habits difficult to break is the illusion that they provide something positive, such as relaxation, comfort, control or escape for the person. The bad news is that the damage that is being caused through such habits can shorten lives, cause ill health in others, be very expensive to maintain and can destroy relationships.

The good news is that because these habits are learned responses to a stimulus they can be changed. These changes take place at the unconscious level through process which includes reframing and hypnotherapy. We will work with you to install new thinking and establish desirable responses that will become the new positive behaviour – and the bad habit, which is unwanted is then replaced.

Habitual behaviours you might want to change, include:
  • Smoking
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Overeating
  • Drug abuse
  • Compulsive gambling
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD)
  • Nail biting
  • Teeth grinding

Fear ,Trauma ,Panic Management & Phobias

Phobias and fears can have such an intense impact that people literally have to change their lives to “manage” their behaviour. Not only does the emotional distress affect them personally, it also affects their families, relationships and their ability to work and live a normal life – without having to take account of their fears. Of course, fear is also a natural human response, as with the “fight or flight” response and is there to protect us. An early bad experience is associated with the fear response, promoting anxiety and causing changes in the physiological system; increasing heart rate, deeper breathing, sweating and increases our strength to run from the event. You will have heard of the case of a mother lifting a car off of her child to save it’s life. Prolonged exposure to this negative event can lead to permanent health effects, for example a rise in blood sugar level may not reduce leading to diabetes.

We work with you to identify the cause of the phobia and help you to form a new perception about that event, which is positive and thus overcome the phobia. The phobia goes away as does the maladaptive behaviour associated with it…and yes, when it happens, the release of emotion is so powerful, it seems like magic…and that’s OK because it works

Stress and tension

The causes of stress are many and the way different people manage stress in their lives is varied. We all experience stress at some time in our lives as when stressful life events occur, such as bereavement, relationships breakdown, moving house or job, or being made redundant. However, some stress is essential for enhanced performance in sport and work for example. Stress at this level improves motivation and results in the necessary physiological changes for action. Too much or too little stress however, can result in detrimental performance and negative physiological changes that may lead to a number of medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer, emotional breakdown and depression. Behavioural problems such as alcohol and drug abuse and increased aggression may also occur.

Some behavioural signs of stress include :
  • changes to sleep patterns,
  • comfort eating, checking rituals,
  • compulsive or impulsive behaviour,
  • reduced work performance,
  • poor time management,
  • increased proneness to accidents,
  • nervous tics,
  • procrastination,
  • teeth grinding, and
  • phobias.
You may feel angry, anxious, frightened, nervous or apprehensive, guilty, embarrassed or ashamed, jealous, mood swings, helpless, increased worrying, suicidal feelings, withdrawal into daydreams, depressed, and unable to concentrate.

Headaches, back ache, fatigue/tiredness, palpitations, nausea, fainting & dizziness, indigestion, chest pains, dry mouth and clammy hands are also sensations that you might be experiencing if suffering with stress.

We will work with you to identify the causes of your stress. We will then work with a number of techniques appropriate to your situation to give you the tools to manage stress effectively. Remember, some stress is required for optimum performance.

Smoking cessation

People start smoking for various reasons; peer pressure, being grown up, being more sophisticated and mature, establishing independence, social reasons, feeling secure and confident. Having started, the tobacco companies do a good job of reinforcing positive associations with smoking. They make smoking appear sexy, cool, socially acceptable, and even healthy, by featuring young good looking men and women acting confident and enjoying the pleasures of life. Health warnings are now placed on packets of cigarettes and this has done little to deter young people starting their smoking careers.

Some years down the line it begins to dawn on us that we are not invincible, the threat of serious illnesses such as lung and throat cancers, heart disease and asthma become a reality. Smoking becomes less cool and attractive. Sexual potency of smokers decreases more rapidly, women who smoke during pregnancy threaten the lives of their babies, passive smoking is a recognised threat to families and friends and generally smokers are considered less welcome than in the era when smoking was “the done thing” – of course now you are addicted. But it’s not all bad news! Hypnotherapy is the most effective intervention for smoking cessation. We work with you to identify the most effective approach for you, considering all the factors that have been employed to keep you a smoker. We will address the dissociation and denial strategies that you employ, which enable you to ignore the health warning messages and adopt the “it won’t happen to me” syndrome.

We will identify all the reasons why you have not been successful in giving up in the past, and we will dispel all the myths that you may have installed that smoking is of benefit to you in some way! Smoking cessation requires that you want to go back to being a non-smoker. If this is the case, hypnotherapy will work…and we will not treat anyone who I do not think is sufficiently motivated to give up.

So go on, Step Up to the next level!
