Allergies
How can hypnotherapy or NLP help with allergic reactions?
In much the same way a phobia is created, there is evidence to suggest that allergic reactions are learnt by the body associating stresses with a time that a substance was ingested. In Pavlov’s famous experiment whereby dogs were fed after a bell was rung, removing the food and simply ringing the bell caused the dogs to salivate. If we replace th bell with a substance we would no doubt get the same reaction.
Consider, what would happen if instead of being fed, the dogs were given an unpleasant experience after breathing pollen for example.
We would thus cause an allergic reaction. In effect an allergic reaction is the bodies way of allerting you of danger to a perceived threat.
So, in treating allergies using NLP and hypnotherapy one approach is to re-educate that learnt response from the initial sensitising event as well as building up new more positive physical associations with the allergen. Obviously, extreme caution needs to be taken when addressing any life threatening allergic reactions, such as nut allergies etc and psychological treatment is no substitute for avoiding those substances at all costs.

Anxieties and Phobias
* Panic Disorder
* Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
* General Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
* Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
* Phobias (which includes Social Phobia, or Social Anxiety Disorder)
Do you suffer from extreme anxiety or panic when confronted or even when you think about what frightens you?
Do you avoid situations where you might have to face your fear?
Is it finally time to be set free? With mind technologies such as NLP and Clinical Hypnosis there is now no reason for anyone to be suffering from phobias, fear and anxiety.
We have all seen TV programmes of people being forced to face their fear and being severely traumatised.
Well, I just don’t work like that!
Using NLP and clinical hypnosis I help create change using the power of your imagination and the remarkable ability of your unconscious mind.
Treatment using hypnotherapy, EFT and NLP can give very rewarding and satisfying results. If you suffer with an anxiety based problem, and especially if it’s causing problems in your life, then don’t suffer in silence.
Rewind Technique efficacy is supported by new four year research
Until recently there has been little research into the rewind technique (also known as the fast phobia cure). However a new study of four years’ use of the technique at the Nova Trauma Support Services (part of the Barnardo’s charity) has shown remarkable results. The Nova team provide therapeutic support to individuals and families who have been psychologically traumatised, primarily as a result of their experiences in Northern Ireland.
The team worked with forty seven people, 57% of whom were treated with only the Rewind Technique. Twenty six would have met the criteria for PTSD. The results show that after treatment none of the forty seven people treated met the criteria for PTSD. There was also a significant reduction of all sub symptoms associated with PTSD, five categories had zero reports after treatment.
Martin Murphy, lead clinician in the study, said ‘….the case notes repeatedly identified not only relief from symptoms but also the emergence of qualitative positive changes in the individual’s daily lives.’ He suggests that it is effective in children as young as 8 and adults at least to the age of seventy; and that the rewind is effective for both single and multiply traumatized individuals.

Pain Management
It is important for clients to receive adequate diagnosis from their doctor concerning the source of their pain. Pain is a signal that something is wrong in the body which needs attention. Removing pain from a headache which may signal the existence of a tumour could be
somewhat of a fatal thing to do!
However, with clients that have received a diagnosis and are suffering
from chronic pain that is currently untreatable using traditional methods, complementary treatments can have a great deal of effectiveness either used alone or in conjunction with your doctors treatment.
I am not saying that we can cure your pain but with our unique method of pain management which combines the effectiveness of energy therapies, clinical hypnosis and self hypnosis training we can help you manage the pain and gain the control back over your life.
Panic attacks
Difficult rapid or laboured breathing, palpitations, chest pains,
choking or smothering sensations, dizziness, fainting fear of dying,
fear of mental illness, or of impending doom, hot / cold flushes, hot / cold clammy hands, tingling / burning sensations, trembling / shaking, sweating, unrealistic feelings. Most people with a panic disorder feel anxious about the possibility of having another panic attack.
It is something inside oneself but outside their control. This problem responds well to a combination of hypno-analysis to find an originating cause and integral eye movement therapy which can eliminate or modify thought patterns to the symptoms of the patients.
Past Life and Between Life Regression
Past life regression is the process of leading the mind back to one or more previous lives in order to understand particular fears or challenges you’re facing in the present. Many people find past life regression a very effective tool for understanding and overcoming fears, obsessive behaviors, difficult relationships, personality tendencies and life patterns. Whether past lives are real memories or simply fabrications of our unconscious mind, past life regression is still an effective method to help us understand the lessons learned and apply them to the present. Remembering back into previous times of our present life helps us discover repressed memories that might be affecting our choices today.

Relationship Coaching
Approach anxiety can be a major problem with men and women alike, when it comes to meeting and interacting with the opposite sex. From my knowledge of hypnotic comunication and NLP it is apparent to me that like any skill, creating attraction is something that can be learned. I now offer one to one coaching with the addition of external strategies; the nuts and bolts of what to do and say. This is a custom built programme that is not necessarily restricted to the clinic room but can involve getting out in the real world, coffee shops etc and practising what has been learnt. If you are interested in supercharging your social and love life contact me today.
Smoking Cessation
Hypnosis also addresses the addictive component by helping the subconsious mind alleviate the difficulties experienced with cravings and withdrawal.
