“The depressed need the support of society to enable them to overcome their problems.”

Leslie Lim, Depression, the misunderstood illness (2008)

I believe that Michael Yapko is one of the leading researchers in depression in the world. And what he has said is that there has been a huge amount of research into the biological reasons for depression and how antidepressants can be used in treatment, but not so much on the social aspects and this impact on well being. He, therefore, spent a huge amount of time looking at how these aspects affected well being and how we can change our lives, within our support network, to reduce or eliminate depression.

At London Hypnotherapy UK, David Kraft believes strongly that individuals suffering from depression need supprt from their therapist not only to deal with their problems–negative ruminations, sleep dysfunction, eating disorders or other associated conditions–but also helping them to adapt to and control their social environment. This can be done in the psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as in the hypnosis.

Covert sensitization is a reliable and effective form of treatment. It has been used very successfully in the treatment of alcoholism, cigarette addiction, cannabis addiction, compulsive gambling, exhibitionism, obesity and juvenile delinquency. (Cautela, 1967). This treatment approach may also be applied to cigarette smokers. David Kraft, a member of BSCAH, and fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, has used this approach successfully over the last few years. He pairs the unwanted behaviour with a feelings nauseous: before the client picks up the cigarette. He combines the aversion with other techniques, including ‘the non smoker walk’ and split screen imagery. He also gives suggestions that cravings will be non-existent or hardly present. The result being that many clients have few cravings. In the paper that Dr Kraft recently published, the client had no cravings whatsoever, and he said that this was significant in helping him to stop smoking once and for all.

Smoking has a deleterious effect on every organ in the body.

London Hypnotherapy UK is dedicated to helping people give up smoking once and for all. The treatment is a complete abstinence programme, but is long lasting.

David Kraft is an experienced psychotherapist who is based in Harley Street London. He has published 17 papers in academic journals and continues to research. He is a fellow of the RSM and a member of BSCAH. 

David Kraft does not recommend individuals going to lay hypnotherapist. He suggests that individuals requiring treatment should go to an accredited health professional, psychologist or registered psychotherapist. David Kraft, of London Hypnotherapy UK and London Psychotherapy, recommends BSCAH and the UKCP.

David Kraft, a top psychotherapist in London has just written a report in which he has treated a man who had been smoking for nearly years. The session was an hour in duration. After this one hypnotherapy session, the client did not smoke another cigarette: this was maintained at the year follow-up. His client was ever so grateful and pointed out that during that period he had not had any cravings for cigarettes either. Psychotherapist, David Kraft, has helped a  number of individuals to give up smoking, and he can help you too. For a hypnotherapy session, ring 0207 467 8564.    

David Kraft is a full member of BSCAH and a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.

I have never included testimonials on my website and certainly intend never to add these to any advertising campaign. In fact, there are many websites that publish testimonials and the problem with these is that they are unverifiable and breach confidentiality. Whether the client mind or not about this is irrelevant. The fact is that by writing something on your website their confidentiality has been breached. At some later date, they may regret having given you permission to publish their thoughts and feelings to the rest of the world. They might also feel embarrassed that certain friends of theirs, or business acquaintances/work colleagues might find out that they have seen a therapist and this might cause problems both at home and amongst friends and family but also at work. The ramifications of this are endless.

As a professional psychotherapist, I am in a position of responsibility, and I maintain all my clients full anonymity and confidentiality. I will also adhere to the ethical code of the UKCP.

The European Society of Hypnosis comprises 32 societies taken from 17 countries in Europe. Members come from a medical background, although there are also some dentists, psychologists, psychotherapists and other health care professionals who have a legitimate reason for using hypnosis in clinical practice. There are also a number of academics who are members of this organization. The ESH promotes and maintains the highest of standards across Europe. Further, members are keen to keep the use of hypnosis up-to-date. The European Society is closely affiliated to the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis (BSCAH), and there are members who give workshops and presentations in order to develop understanding of the use of hypnosis in clinical practice today. Contemporary Hypnosis & Integrative Therapy is the official journal for both BSCAH and ESH.      

 

 

 

Dear Dr David Kraft

I am looking for a psychotherapist who can helping me with my IBS. I have been to the GP and I still suffer from IBS. I get bloated, and stomach cramps; I also suffer from diarrhoea and constipation although this alternates and only happens occasionally. Te doctors said that this was all down to stress and I felt that this was the case too. When I am not at work–I am a solicitor–I do not have any symptoms at all. I love y work but it is so stressful. My GP, who is also a friend of mine and the family, suggested that I see a hypnotherapist but someone who is also trained in psychotherapy. I looked at your website and found your name. Can you treat me. I also see that you have written a paper on the treatment of IBS using hypnotherapy, and you obviously have had a great deal of experience in this form of treatment. In the paper you use hypnotherapy and use a river approach. I thought that this sounded interesting, but I don’t know much about it. My family are worried about me because this has affected my social life too. I want desperately to see a hypnotherapist now so that I can get better. So, after much deliberation, I decided to go to you, to get some help privately. I have been to a hypnotherapist in London Before. He used hypnotherapy to treat my anxiety, but the hypnotherapy, in this case, transformed me into someone who was not stressed but who had IBS. This is no good. I want to be able to cope with the stresses of life without converting it into pain or anxiety. I think that I am a little bit neurotic and I want to use the hypnotherapy to help me control this. Can you do all this? If you can help, please e-mail back. I know that the treatment might last a while but I am ready to sorry this IBS out now.

Thanks

Mrs F

Dear Mrs F

I can certainly help. Please give me a ring on 0207 467 8564 and arrange a consultation session. In this session, we will construct a treatment programme that that suits you. When you are in treatment, you will notice an immediate difference in the way you feel. The hypnotherapy also help you to get better on your own, and I will teach you self hypnosis for you to use in stressful situations. In my experience, the hypnotherapy has long lasting effects.
