How many times have you said or thought:

"I am FED-UP with myself" ?

 

"fed-up", "frustrated", "ANGRY", "bored", - put in any word that suits.

Have you ever asked the question - Who is "I" and who is "myself"?

The "I" is the "I am" of right NOW and the "myself" is the old repetitive patterns of behaviour that you wish you had some control over; wish you could find a way of changing; find a new way of being.

Whatever your issues are each first session (2.1/2 - 3 hours) is a complete course on being in control of your life NOW and contains all or most of the following elements dependent on your individual circumstances:

  • How to create the life that you want >

  • What it really means to live in NOW >

  • Childhood issues and influences and how to overcome them >

  • How to overcome being a needy person >

  • How to deal with the physical results of stress and anxiety so that you are free of them. This includes dealing with any situation in your life in which this occurs, whether it is a phobia, public speaking, interview, exams, driving test, relationship issues, IBS, skin conditions, chronic pain or . . . . . . .   >

  • Panic Attacks? 99.9% success rate from the work we do - Yes, you can be free of them for the rest of your life >

  • For further information on Stress and Panic Attacks click here.

  • How what you think influences your way of being and how you can control your thoughts creating the way of being that you want >

  • How to use your creative imagination to create the reality in your life that you want.

  • I WANT does get - despite how it was drummed into you as a child that, "I want doesn't get" >

  • The difference between "being self-centred" and "being selfish" >

  • Bereavement and loss and the process of grieving, whether it is death, divorce, separation, redundancy or . . . . . . .   >

  • How to deal with or escape from a destructive relationship >

  • Full explanation of what hypnosis and hypnotherapy is and how it works >

  • Relaxation session with hypnotherapy to start the process of your control in your life and overcoming the old repetitive patterns of behaviour your "myself".

You should experience considerable change in your approach and confidence from this first session. In the second session, about a week or so later, we will review how you have been getting on and address any further issues or questions that have arisen and consolidate the overall work we have been doing with more hypnotherapy. Beginning to believe in yourself again this should be enough for you to be able to experience much more of a sense of control in your life.

Comment from a recent client:

Thank you Neil, for taking time to explain to me in some very simple and enlightened terms, how I can best take control of the future direction of my life. I now feel I have a methodology to work with on a daily basis that will support me to achieve what I want out of my life. This methodology definitely went beyond your hypnotherapy and set real context and understanding for me. Your work was great value for money and I would recommend anyone to spend time with you if they are interested in confronting anything that is negative in their lives. You have taught me that we are only limited by our beliefs. Once those beliefs become positive and are continually reinforced life can only proceed as we wish.

Hi Neil
 
I have a problem with blushing and this is impacting my professional life and studies.  I am finding that it is becoming more and more of a problem - and of course, the more I focus on it, the worse it gets!!  The problem occurs in 'expected' situations (i.e. when I am doing presentations) but I also find that I blush intensely when someone challenges or shouts at me (i.e. in a debate or argument).   I am currently studying to work in the Healthcare sector and I will have to deal with people's negative emotions and I really think blushing will damage my ability to come across as a confident professional I also have to do a significant amount of presentations, both formal and informal, and the thought of blushing makes me cringe! I think I'm more anxious about everyone see me blush that I am about doing the actual presentation.

Many thanks
Joanne

Dear Neil
 
I just wanted to drop you a note to say a very big thank you for the help you gave me with regard to blushing.  I was absolutely astounded by how quickly you were able to help me deal with this problem and empower me to become a more confident person.  I previously dreaded presentations because I used to focus on my blushing - but you helped me overcome this.  In fact, I've just found out that I passed my presentation exams for college with A grades for confident performance!  I truly believe you helped me achieve this so THANK YOU!!

Kind regards
Joanne

Comment from a recent client:

I booked an appointment with Neil after the realisation that something in my life needed to change. I was becoming increasingly anxious about certain social situations, with my anxiety manifesting itself in the form of shaky hands when nervous, under pressure, or if I felt someone was 'judging' me. It got to the point where I dreaded going into my part-time waitressing job, as I couldn't serve a cup of coffee to a customer without my hands trembling. And I completely dreaded any kind of social situation that made me nervous as the shakes would sometimes be apparent to other people.

Neil was lovely, and put me completely at ease. After one session my anxiety had been significantly reduced and to my surprise I managed to serve coffee at work the next day with a completely steady hand (something I never would have been able to do before!)

Neil has taught me the power of positive thought and creative visualisation. I now live in the 'now' instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Thank you Neil - I am looking forward to having a happy, calm and confident life.

Comment from a recent client:

I began going for promotion over a year ago, with each interview I found that my nerves were becoming worse and worse and by the time I’d had about 8 unsuccessful interviews, within a 6 month period, I was a nervous wreck and my confidence had hit rock bottom.  People with less experience were being given promotions ahead of me, even my seniors were telling me they couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting the jobs!

I had tried herbal remedies, breathing techniques and had spoken to my GP who said they couldn’t give me anything to settle my nerves and that interview nerves were just something we all had to go through.  I was at the end of my tether.

During my last interview I was on the verge of tears throughout it, I was having palpitations even before I went into the room, I couldn’t even take a glass of water to my mouth without it going everywhere and I couldn’t concentrate properly during the interview.  In the lead up to it, I even ended up off sick with gastritis.  In post-interview feedback, apparently I tend to hold my breath during the interview and my hands always end up round my throat! 

My nerves were getting worse, so I decided to get in touch with Neil and ask him if he could help.  He was immediately very positive and put me at ease, he told me that he could help me in only two sessions.

I was extremely nervous when I arrived, but he immediately made me feel comfortable.  He spent a long time analysing and explaining why my body reacted in the way it did to interview stress and instilled positive thinking in me, even before he began the relaxation session.  In the relaxation session he encouraged my positive thinking and a feeling of relaxation that I was able to carry over to my interview day.

On the day of my next interview I was extremely calm and only became slightly nervous prior to entering the room.  I was able to take time during the interview to think calmly about the questions and answer them logically and appropriately, almost enjoying the situation, and the ultimate test  ….. I was able to take a drink of water without a single shake of my hand!

I got the job!  They actually told me I was the best out of all 13 candidates, I couldn’t believe it.  Thank you so much Neil, I couldn’t have done it without your help and I’ll definitely be back before my next interview for a “top-up”, but maybe not for a year or so, I’m still ready for a rest from interviews!
