Just
how much is your health and well-being worth to you?
I
specialise in anxiety and panic attacks, weight control, stress management,
changing habits, removing fears and phobias, Irritable Bowel Syndrome
(IBS), relationship issues, smoking cessation, memory and study habits,
and improving confidence and self esteem.
My
services can treat many of the things that you would normally visit a
counsellor or psychoanalyst for and a lot more.
It
is my aim to help you resolve your issues as quickly as possible.
I
offer a 30 minute Initial Consultation/Assessment Session. This gives
us the chance to begin to explore your problems further, honestly answer
any questions you might have and give you a realistic estimate of the
number of sessions you may require. Most specific issues can be very quickly
dealt with in around four to six sessions, for more deep rooted or complex
problems, more will be required. However as we are all unique individuals,
you decide when you have reached resolution.
I
am a full-time professional, qualified and experienced Psychotherapist,
Advanced Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, a Licensed NLP Master Practitioner
and EFT Practitioner. I have trained with some of the best hypnotherapy
and NLP trainers, including Paul McKenna, and by Dr Richard Bandler -
the creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I have received training
in psychotherapy, NLP and both Ericksonian and traditional hypnotherapy,
and combine all my skills and experience to produce a treatment that is
tailored to your exact needs. So that I can help you to change in the
quickest and most effortless ways possible.
Treatment
may be comprised of several individual 1 hour sessions or longer extended
sessions.
I
practice from a consulting room in my home, located in Chorlton-cum-Hardy
in South Manchester, within
easy travelling distance of Ashton, close to junction 7 & 8
of the M60 and the end of the M56.
My
services can be combined and tailored to your individual or company needs,

to group training and workshops.

What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy
is used to assist people in breaking free of any destructive thought
patterns that keep on spoiling their quality of life in some way. It's
a kind of preventative medicine.
Hypnotherapy, and particularly self-hypnosis, can help people
to deal and to cope effectively with the pressures and stress of modern
day living.
Hypnotherapy is not just about problems, it is about effortless
change, getting in touch with why you are like you are, and who you
want to be.
The British
Medical Association approved hypnotherapy as a valid medical treatment
in 1955 and the American Medical Association followed in 1958.
Some
questions you might have asked
yourself about hypnotherapy:
What
is hypnosis?
A natural state of concentration combined with heightened awareness.
People experience this state of highly absorbed attention naturally
throughout each and every day. Common examples might include, day dreaming,
when you are totally immersed in a book or TV show, engrossed in a favourite
hobby or even when driving.
What
is Hypnotherapy?
In hypnotherapy you are guided into hypnosis for therapeutic purposes.
It is literally therapy done while in hypnosis and can be thought of
as an effective and speedy form of psychotherapy.
Can
anyone be hypnotised?
Yes - if they want to be.
Can
I be forced to do things against my will?
Emphatically, NO! You are always in control.
Are drugs
ever used?
No - never.
Will I be asleep?
No - you will be aware of what is going on all the time, and just feel
very relaxed.
Why
hypnotherapy and NLP are effective,
and how they differ from other therapies:
During hypnosis
the client is in contact with their unconscious mind, the seat of all
emotion and behavioural problems. Most other forms of therapy are carried
out at a conscious level, and often they only work on the symptoms rather
than the underlying cause of the problem.
The will
power of the conscious mind is very weak when compared to the automatic
unconscious responses. These responses and emotional reactions are like
computer programs which keep running and running, causing the same unpleasant
effects, until they are dealt with.
Problems
can occur when a behaviour pattern/program is made in response to a situation
that occurred in the past. When the person grows up, the situation changes,
but the behaviour response sometimes does not. As hypnotherapy and NLP
can change that behaviour response on an unconscious level, the scope
is endless.
It is now
widely recognised by the medical profession that mind and body are closely
related. Therefore, any tension or disease in the mind can cause tension
and disease in the body. Because both hypnotherapy and NLP work with the
unconscious mind, then psychosomatic illnesses can be dealt with very
quickly.

What
is NLP?
NLP creates
a model of how individuals structure their own unique experiences in life.
Using NLP we can step into your view of the world to discover, patterns
of thought, beliefs, values and help you to change those patterns, set
compelling goals, build motivation and change your life for the better.
All NLP is
carried out in a conscious state, and is therefore particularly suitable
for people or organisations who do not feel comfortable with the idea
of hypnosis but who still would like to benefit from a speedy and effective
form of therapy.
NLP like
hypnotherapy is very quick and effective, for specific issues three to
four sessions are commonly all that is required. Often with noticeable
changes after only a single session. For life
coaching and
business coaching more sessions spread over a longer period
of time are usual.
As well as
offering NLP for therapy, Life
Coaching and Business Coaching, I also use NLP extensively within
my hypnotherapy sessions.
So what does that mean?
It means that by knowing how your brain works you can change it so that
is always working for you and improving your life and the lives of those
around you.
Who can benefit from using NLP?
People from all walks of life use NLP personally and professionally. Often
called the "Psychology of excellence" NLP is used for a multitude
of reasons.
For example:
Individuals
using NLP for
Life Coaching will find it easier to achieve their goals, overcome
their problems and develop new skills, because they gain greater access
to their internal resources.
Businesses
can utilise NLP
for Business Coaching to greatly improve their sales and customer
service as well as interpersonal management skills.
Educators
can learn how each child learns best by studying the verbal and nonverbal
language of a child. Education is communication of knowledge and experience
through which one can retain the knowledge. NLP is used to strengthen
communication skills of educators so that each student gains the most
in the shortest amount of time.
Counsellors
can help clients make lasting changes quickly and with lasting results.
In a day and age when long drawn out therapies with limited results is
the norm, NLP provides a fast and highly effective alternative.
Medical
and Dental Professionals can eliminate patients' fears and anxieties
about procedures. Along with the use of hypnosis to eliminate any possible
pain the client may be anticipating.
Athletes
can utilise NLP techniques to improve performance and concentration as
well as mastering the skills they need to excel.
Actors
& Performers can utilise NLP techniques in auditions and casting
calls to get jobs. During performances NLP can assist in memorising lines
as well unifying the performer with the character or image they are presenting
for a more powerful performance.

'A
note to thank you for the work you did with me over the past weeks.
I feel much more focused, more care free and have a healthy amount
of realistic self belief. The last session in particular seemed
to clear something much more fundamental than the eating thing.
I
think you are a highly skilled and effective practitioner and I
count myself as lucky to have come across you. Thank you again.

'8yrs
of prescribed anti-depressants never even scratched the surface of
my condition. 4 sessions of NLP empowered me to be my 'true' self
and gave me the ability to handle situations which (previously) filled
me with anxiety due to low self esteem & a sub-zero confidence level.
My mind is finally a nice place to be thanks to NLP.'

'I
saw you just over a year ago to quit smoking. I am no longer an
ex-smoker, but a non smoker and have passed the 1 year mark successfully,
so thank you for your help with that.'

you once again for your help with the eating. I feel more relaxed
around food and can now make better decisions about what I eat.'

'Nigel's
sessions, give a real insight into the powers of hypnotherapy and
NLP. His sessions are both friendly & relaxed and have helped
me greatly with confidence and agoraphobia problems, allowing me to
enjoy parts of my life I once feared. He teaches as well as heals
and helps you in self-hypnosis allowing you after your sessions to
help yourself.
If you have fears or phobias then his sessions are a must.'

'I
feel much better thank you. I really don't worry about blushing
as much as I used to and I do feel like I blush less and am just
generally less self conscious about it. Thanks for your time! '

'I
just wanted to send an email because it has now been 7 months tomorrow
since I quit smoking and although it is probably all down to me,
I feel that most of my thanks should go to you because whatever
you did it sure has worked. I feel like I have never smoked a cigarette
in my life and whenever I smell smoke it makes me ill and since
that day on July 7th the thought of a cigarette has never entered
my mind.
I
feel like I can breathe again and never have shortness of breath
like I used to, dont smell. When people have had a cigarette
and come near me the smell knocks me sick.
I
am sure this can continue forever and I just wanted to extend my
thanks to you.'
