Dear hypnotherapist

I am looking for a psychotherapist as well as a hypnotherapist, and I wondered whether you might be the answer because you do both. I looked for a centre for Psychotherapy, and I centre for hypnotherapy and I found this one–London Psychotherapy, and I was impressed by the webbsite. How many psychotherapists use hypnosis here in London? There can’t be many. I have been suffering depression for some time now and I also have terrible problems with all sorts of aches and pains around my body. I worry about my legs and whether I have got some sort of muscular disease. I get thrush. I worry that I am not producing the right amount of fluid in my vagina, and this really worries me because I am on 30. There is masses of fluid and I have no problems masturbating, or having sex, but I still worry. When I am down, and really depressed, I think about suicide, and I also worry about my eyes. My eyes itch all the time, and I can’t stop thinking about them. I need a psychotherapist or a psychiatrist now. I also get headaches and feelings of being bloated, and period pains, and pains in my anus. But all of these symptoms alternate with each other, and it is driving me mad. I heard that hypnotherapy can help to control pain, but I realize now that a lot of these worries are psychological. I need to find a good counsellor or psychotherapist who can help me with these problems. I want to talk to somebody who is caring and considerate. I have been taking anti depressants for my depression, but this form of treatment does not help. I need a psychotherapist! I also need a hypnotherapist, and one in London. My depression has worsened recently, and so many friends of mine have seen good results with hypnotherapists here in central London. Also, another friend of mine trained as a counselor and then started to use hypnotherapy on herself, and she has seen great results too. She is her own psychotherapist now, and her own hypnotherapist. How cool is that?! I also looked at this new ‘In Treatment’ programme on HBO, and thought that this is exactly what I need. In Treatment is a wonderful programme, and each client is given space to work out their problems. Are you like the person in ‘In Treatment?’ If you are caring and like the person in the television programme, please give me a session. I want to see you every week, and watch how I develop. Wow-In Treatment. This is so exciting, and empowering. I feel that my depression is going already.

Dear hypnotherapist/psychotherapist

My name is Margaret. I have been working really hard to try to take off weight. I have a comprehensive understanding of the principles of taking off weight. I understand that you have to eat small meals and that you should not snack in between eating sessions. I also understand that sugar is not helpful and that we should reduce a fat intake. I know of of this. I have taken off a stone so far. But I have these sessions that take place where I don’t care. I binge eat and the more I eat the more I don’t care. I say to myself, ‘Well, I have eaten this so I might as well eat this cake as well, or this pizza, or this pint of beer’. And then in the morning, I feel really guilty and it puts me back three days worth of dieting. Or more…….

Can you help me stop having this attacks? I have many friends that have tried hypnotherapy and they have been helped for all sorts of problems. I have looked on your website and I have been really impressed. I look at the section entitled, ‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’. What is ‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’. Can it help me with my binge eating and will it help me to take off weight in the future? I am in it for the long term and really want to get to my ideal weight. Hypnotherapy must be the right thing for me. I want it to empower me to have more control. At the moment I am 11 stone, but I am not tall and my ideal weight is 9 stone. I am also doing exercise at the gym and this has helped me to take off weight in the past. I am also looking trimmer and fitter. I reallly hope hypnotherapy will work. The cardiovascular work that I have been doing has given me more energy too, but some weeks I put on muscle and weigh more. I only weigh myself at the end of each week, and I don’t do this every day. I am looking for a top hypnotherapist. Someone who really knows what he is doing. A hypnotherapist based in somewhere like Harley Street like yourself.

Can you get me an appointment and how do I do it.

Margaret

Dear Margaret

Yes certainly I can help. One used to have to go to one’s GP to get a referral letter, but now, all one has to do is to go to London Hypnotherapy UK or London Psychotherapy directly, and then book an appointment. The links are below:

www.londonhypnotherapyuk.com and www.londonpsychotherapy.co.uk

‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’ is the general name given to treatment programmes which use hypnotherapy to help people to take off weight. Some hypnotherapist use a strict regimented approach which last s for a certain number of weeks; I, however, tend to build a treatment programme around the needs of the individual client, and this strategy is tailor made to suit your needs. I have had a great deal of success working with a number of people who have had eating disorders. However, binge eating, in any any of its forms is not classed as an eating disorder. Certainly, the aim of the hypnotherapy is to help you to take off weight and to keep it off in the future.

If you would like to book a session, please feel free to ring me at 10 Harley Street, London, W1G 9PF. I look forward to speaking to you. The number is as follows: 0207 467 8564.

Looking for a specialist psychotherapist in London?

Perhaps, it is worth considering what sort of psychotherapist you are looking for. There are lots of diferent types.

Psychotherapy is often a lengthy process: during the course, the client expresses his thoughts on present day issues, he talks about his feelings and the therapist will look at how his past has affected his life—particularly in relation to his childhood. The client is encouraged to drift from one thought to the next—a technique known as ‘free association’.

During this process, he gains considerable insight into his life, and he will often find conflicts or forbidden thoughts that, when analyze, have a releaving effect. He may begin to remove or shift unwanted repression, and this, in turn, helps the ego to deal with difficult scenarios in a more appropriate fashion. The psychotherapist job is to help the client to acknowledge and unpack these feelings.

Dr David Kraft is a skilled psychotherapist who also uses an approach known as psychodynamic psychotherapy. This process falls within the remit of integrative psychotherapy. Psychodynamic psychotherapy treatment is often a much shorter process.

Dr Kraft says that, often, clients who come for therapy want to be better in the shortest possible time. They also want to feel that they are improving straight away—they don’t want to be in therapy for years. He, therefore, uses strategic psychotherapy in order to faciliate change in the shortest possible time. Hypnotherapy can be used to quicken and enhance this process.  

Can I improve straight away?

Yes. Dr Kraft has had a great deal of experience working with individuals who have needed urgent attention; sometimes, clients feel better after one or two sessions. It is the support that they are given that helps them to lead their lives in a healthy way. They begin to be able to help, and take care of, themselves. Dr David Kraft believes that constant, reliable support is the key to psychotherapy. Some people thrive because of their weekly psychotherapy sessions.

How do I choose the right psychotherapist in central London?

Psychotherapists must have had therapy themselves: they must have had the experience themselves in order to empathize with their clients. When you book a session with a psychotherapist, it is important that you book a few sessions to see whether you feel comfortable in that setting. Trust is extremely important: you must trust your therapist before you embark on your journey—however long or short that might be. The best psychotherapists are the ones that let you decide how frequently you attend sessions. You must be in control of your psychotherapy if you want to be in control of your life!
