Sports champions have long known the benefits of ‘Thinking for Success’. They know that hypnosis can play a major role in preparing a person mentally, through visualisation, future-pacing, focussing, motivating and overcoming performance anxiety. Since the 1950s, sports coaches have recognised the benefits of using hypnosis to enhance performance. When sports people of equal skill compete, the competitor with the distinct advantage is the one who in his or her mind has already won!
Business executives learn self-hypnosis to improve their presentation skills, their performance in the boardroom, and even their management skills!

A phobia is an irrational fear of a specific object or situation. Even though a person knows the fear may be irrational, that doesn’t prevent them from feeling fearful. Using various techniques including hypnosis, a therapist can help you overcome such fears, to the degree that you deem appropriate. Not everyone wants to be able to touch a spider, for example, but just to be able deal with the sight of one calmly. However, fear of flying, would require a person to be able to sit comfortably through a plane journey. Only you know how much the fear affects your life, so only you can decide to what level you need to conquer your fear.
Thoughts have a powerful effect on the body, so that even with a painful physical condition like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), through hypnosis, the patient can learn techniques to reduce the pain during an attack, and even eliminate the symptoms altogether.
The examples above are merely that, examples; there isn’t the space to write about the endless variety of challenges and problems that people face. So if I haven’t mentioned the concern that you have, whatever it is, telephone and ask me if I can help. What do you have to lose – except a negative aspect of your life?
