I take what I do as a hypnotherapist very seriously and as such regularly undertake further training courses to expand my knowledge and learn new techniques I can employ with clients.

The courses I have done have been fascinating on the whole and covered far ranging subjects from psychosexual issues to past life regression and a whole plethora of other subjects in between.

Some of the most interesting study I have done is with the renowned expert in the Forensic Application of Hypnosis (police use) and Criminal Personality Profiling, Marx Howell. He was a guest tutor at the Essex Institute where I carried out a lot of my studies.

The Essex Institute is run by Terence Watts, one of the most experienced therapists and teachers in the United Kingdom, and he is someone from whom I have learned a great deal. Find out more about training in hypnosis at: Essex Institute

Another great trainer with a totally different, no nonsense approach is Steve Miller, who’s Authoritarian Weight Loss Hypnosis training I did earlier this year. You might have seen him on TV presenting Fat Families on Sky1 or have heard his catchphrase “little pickers wear big knickers!” He is a friendly, colourful and creative man and I learned some new & useful techniques to use with my weight loss clients.

I am always looking for new methods to learn and am regularly booked on training courses to keep expanding and updating my skills so my clients get the very best care they can!

Hypnotherapy Clients Feedback – Makes Me Smile!

I love getting positive feedback from my hypnotherapy clients – it really makes my day to know that people feel better and are acheiving their goals :-)

Here are some of my recent favourites;

“My silly eating habits have calmed down and I’m pretty much back to “normal”. THANK YOU!!! Interesting thing is that you said in your script that I would feel proud of not eating junk, and I do. That’s new! Clever, aren’t you!”

“Everyone keeps telling me I look good. I feel good but I also feel positive which I never had before, Thank you for all you have done and for the support.”

“The biggest achievement of the day was going out to dinner at a friend’s house – I think it was the first time this sort of thing happened since we began our sessions. I had plenty of vegetables, a bit of the meat and a little rice, trying to calculate in my mind what sort of portion size I was allowed. And on the way back home I saw this girl get on the bus, she was quite fat, holding a bag from Burger King and sipping on some soda. I looked at her and felt like telling her that, if she wanted to, getting slim wasn’t so bad at all and wouldn’t be such a difficult thing to do. Because it really isn’t.”

Lentil and Garlic Soup

Lentils

Lentils are some of the most nutritious foods in the world. They are high in fibre, both soluble and insoluble. (Insoluble fibre, or roughage, doesn’t dissolve in water, and therefore passes through your digestive system intact. Soluble fibre absorbs excess water in the colon, helping to regulate your system.) Lentils are also rich in nutrients; they are a great source of protein, folic acid, dietary fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, essential amino acids and trace minerals. As if that’s not enough lentils are also low in calories and cholesterol free making them a great, healthy and good value food.

Check out the World Food section of your supermarket rather than the Whole Food section & you may bag a bargain!

Try this delicous recipe for a heathy lunchtime treat.
