Dear Sir

I just need some help with a few things. I want to have hypnotherapy with a trained hypnotherapist. Do you use psychotherapy or hypnotherapy? I understand that hypnotherapy is safe and that it involves two people and no drugs but will I be aware of what happens during the process. Can hypnotherapy be used to treat phobias, and how long does the treatment last. My friend had hypnotherapy three years back and she said that it helped her a great amount. She never felt better. What are the effects of hypnotherapy and how long do they last.

I need a hypnotherapist in central London, and I looked at your website. I decided to send you this e-mail because I thought that you looked like a fully trained hypnotherapist and not just some wacky witch doctor who was just taking people’s money, or a bored housewife who has re-trained because she wants to ‘help people’. Please advise. Kartrina

Dear Katrina

You are fully aware of what is happening during the hypnotherapy. Please see my CV on the website or the information about me at the end of this message. I have been using psychotherapy and hypnosis for years and very successfully. I use hypnotherapy to enhance my work in the psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have treated many individuals with phobic anxiety and successfully. I cannot give guarantees: it would not be fair. However, I do like to think of the work in short phases and do not see the point of drawing things out. Once we have got to the root of the problem, the effects are, in many cases, long lasting.

If you would like to book an appointment, please do not hesitate to ring me on 0207 467 8564.

Best of luck

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy at London Hypnotherapy UK

London Hypnotherapy UK takes on a number of individuals with weight issues each year. Both men and women have gone to London Hypnotherapy UK in order to take off excess weight: the success rate has been extremely good.

IN ALL CASES, THIS THERAPY IS COMBINED WITH PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC SUPPORT

How does weight loss hypnotherapy work and how on earth will it help me to take off weight?

During the hypnotherapy, individuals are highly susceptible to suggestion. Weight loss hypnotherapy is used in order to facilitate an environment in which you are able access a healthy eating regime in your own mind’s eye. Once this is achieved, weight loss is possible. In Weight loss hypnotherapy, the procedure is as follows:

1) You will be asked whether you want to take off weight.

2) You will asked to imagine living your life at a certain weight–your ‘ideal weight’

3) You will be asked to imagine eating three healthy meals each day and to enjoy eating each meal.

4) You will be asked whether you can imagine eating the meals slowly

5) You will be given direct suggestions not to snack and indirect suggestion to eat healthily and in sufficient quantities

6) You will be asked again, using future orientation, to imagine enjoying your life at your ‘ideal weight’

7) You will be given ego strengthening and boosting so that you will have the confidence to fulfil this task

You will be given direct suggestions that you should reward yourself appropriately during the course of the treatment

9) Anchoring techniques, like rubbing your stomach, will be used to harness your control over your eating.

10) You will be given a number of suggestion to make sure that you maintain your weight–from week to week, month to month and year to year

Are there any other techniques used in order to help people take off weight?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is the treatment of choice at London Hypnotherapy UK; however, aversion therapy (covert sensitization) is another technique that can be used. Covert sensitization is used to help people stop eating a certain food type–i.e. chocolate, crisps or chips etc, or, indeed, any other food stuff to which the individual is addicted. This is also a very powerful technique, but it is a different form of therapy.   

Is weight loss hypnotherapy effective?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is an extremely powerful tool and is also used in order to treat individuals with more serious weight problems (i.e. obesity).    

How expensive is weight loss hypnotherapy at London Hypnotherapy UK?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is the same price as psychotherapy. The first session is an hour’s duration, and subsequent sessions are 50 minutes. Sessions run at £160.

If I have weight loss hypnotherapy, are there any side effects?

No. None.
