Throughout my life, even as a child I remember people watching. All of us are unknowingly using psychology on our unsuspecting friends and colleagues each time we meet. We all draw on our past experiences and what we have learned in order to deal with people and situations today.
Many twists and turns in my life have brought me to where I am today. As I became more interested in why people react in certain ways, including myself, I felt compelled to seek out more information about the mind. Look at life as a card game for a moment. Life often seems as though our ‘opponents’ are always holding the better cards. What we must realise is that some people are better players than others. Maybe they had a better teacher than us! Maybe they are more willing to go that extra yard, or perhaps more prepared to take a chance. There is one key factor to all of this which is . . . YOU are the dealer; YOU are the one that is in control.
As a hypnopsychotherapist I give my clients the tools they need in order to take control of their own lives. Life really is what we make it but nothing comes easy. A high percentage of people still use the outdated information that has been fed to them as a child. This can be the cause of so many problems in adult life. Our past becomes our belief; this belief can be changed if it is causing you distress and difficulty in day to day life.
I have helped many people with a wide variety of issues, from sports enhancements to breast enlargements. The mind is an amazing computer. If you do not put the information in, how will it know what to do? It is a simple question but true.
Each session with a client is an individual and unique experience even for me. Each client has their own reasons for being in the position they are today. It is up to me with my skills and compassion to help them move on and to achieve the result they are seeking. I value each and every client I have ever treated; I am not just selling them a pair of boots which will make them feel great for a short time. I am helping them to make positive changes to their lives long term.
I treat people with obsessive compulsive disorders, nerves, relationship problems, jealously, anger, worry, fear, people that feel they are holding themselves back in life, persistent nightmares, hayfever. The list is endless. these are just a few of the problems I have helped my clients deal with in the past.
