Dear sir

I need a hypnotherapist in London who can sort me out. I have wanted you find a hypnotherapist for some time now. It is funny. I am scared about hypnotherapy because of all the programmes I have watch about this subject. But I have been told that hypnotherapy is very different from the stuff that they do on stage or on these programmes. I need to find a hypnotherapist who can help me with my fear of flying. I have flying phobia, and I have had it since I was eleven years of age. In fact, I have had it since I moved from the Middle East. I have lived in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman. I have also lived in Morocco and Turkey when I was five, but I considered my home to be in the Middle East. Actually, I never really settled in any area, and I find travel really difficult. I saw a counsellor and we unravelled these things over a period of six months. The reason why I have contacted you is because you are a psychotherapist and you use hypnotherapy.

Thanks L

Dear L

Thanks for the e-mail. Indeed, stage hypnosis is very different to what I do. I use hypnosis within the context of psychodynamic psychotherapy. If you would like to book an appointment, please phone 0207 467 8564, and I will give you a time each week where you can come and address some of these issues.

With very best wishes

Dear Dr David Kraft

I have been looking very carefully at the internet and I have discovered your hypnotherapy website. I have been trying to take off weight for a long time, and have had some success. But, recently, I have had a baby and I now find that dieting is really hard. I want to feed myself all the time. I find myself trying to eat carrots and fruit during the day. If I manage it, I then snack in the evening. I have tried various weight loss diet and these have not worked either. I am really lost at the moment too and need some confidence. I don’t have any confidence, and I want to talk about this too. I have read on your website that hypnotherapy can help people to take off weight. Can you help. Weight Loss Hypnotherapy looks like the sort of thing for me.
