About Hypnosis
What is it like to be
hypnotised?
You've been into a hypnotic trance many times before. You may
have been watching a film and found yourself so caught up in the
story that two hours flew by before you realised it. You may
have been daydreaming during a class. You may have imagined
winning the lottery and wondered how you'd spend all that
lovely money...
These are all examples of
times we drift into a natural
hypnotic trance, and hypnosis is the simply the process of
deliberately entering that dreamy state with
a purpose.
Can anybody be hypnotised?
Pretty much. It's harder to hypnotise someone if their IQ is
under 60 or if they have severe brain damage or if they're
blind and deaf, but even those people can often be guided
into a hypnotic trance if the hypnotist is skilled enough and
patient. For everyone else, it's usually very easy. Anyone who wants
to be hypnotised can be hypnotised.
Remember: if somebody has told you
in the past that you couldn't be hypnotised, what they really meant was that they couldn't hypnotise you. That's ok.
I have hypnotised many people who had previously been told they were
"resistant" or "difficult". Anybody can
be guided into a hypnotic trance, and it's easy and pleasant
for everyone.
Is it possible to get stuck in a
trance? No way! If you were
engrossed in a film and the phone rang,
you'd snap out of your trance and notice the phone. The same
is true when you're hypnotised; as soon as something
requires your conscious attention, you'll become alert
again.
Will I be
aware of what's going on?
Yes - you may feel very relaxed but you'll be awake and
aware. You may feel dreamy.
Will you
make me cluck like a chicken?
Only if you pay extra. J
About Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP)
What is
NLP?
NLP is a way of understanding human behaviour based on the
idea that all behaviour has a structure, and all structures
can be learnt, modelled, changed and taught. It was
originally developed in the 1970s by Dr John Grinder and Dr
Richard Bandler and
it's now used by millions of people worldwide, including
many therapists and coaches, as well as many salespeople,
negotiators, politicians, speech writers and
others. NLP has been used by NASA, the military, both sides of the US
presidential campaign and many major corporations. It's a
very effective way to understand - and influence - human
behaviour.
Can NLP be
used to help with physical symptoms?
Absolutely! My good friend Dr Ron Perry specialises in using
the principles of NLP - and more - to affect people
physically. I have had a lot of success working with people
to overcome physical limitations, increase mobility and
reduce pain. I have also had a lot of success
helping people to clear up spots and psoriasis.
About the Mind Spa
What is the
mind spa all about?
I sometimes use light and sound machines to help people
relax really deeply. This is a really cool experience that
most people really enjoy. The lights are of a specific brightness
and they change at specific rates to help you feel very
sleepy. The sounds come from different directions and they
have a binaural rhythm to engage with different parts of
your brain. I don't use these machines with many people and
I will show you them and explain more about them if I think
they'll be useful for you personally. If you're interested,
ask me - they're a lot of fun!
About Energy
It all sounded
so good until you mentioned energy work and healing. Isn't that
a bit 'new age', weird and hippy-like?
I think most energy workers seriously over-complicate and
mystify what they do. You can click here for a short audio
clip of me explaining how I work with energy.
Can you do energy work at a distance? In theory, yes. In practice, I
much prefer to meet
people face-to-face and combine the energy work I do with
the other skills and techniques I use.
General Questions
How much do you charge?
I usually charge £250 per session (2hrs) but there are
exceptions. Please give me a call so I can get a feel for
what kind of session will work best for you and I can then
give you a fair price. If the only thing stopping you from
calling me is money, please call anyway - I will be happy to
refer you to one of my friends or students who I highly
recommend and who will work within your budget.
What if I
need to cancel my session?
Please give me more than 24hrs notice so I can plan my time.
I travel a lot and may be returning to London especially to
see you. If you give me less than 24hrs notice, I will
usually expect to be paid for the session anyway.
