Inner Changes, Professional Manchester Hypnotherapy, Manchester Hypnotherapist, Hypnosis, NLP Therapy, NLP Life Coaching, EFT and Stress Management

I specialise in anxiety & panic attacks, stress management, changing eating habits, quitting smoking, changing habits, removing fears and phobias, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), memory and study habits, and improving confidence and self esteem.

My services can treat many of the things that you would normally visit a counsellor or psychoanalyst for and a lot more. It is my aim to help you resolve your issues as quickly as possible.

I am a full-time professional, qualified and experienced Manchester Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, a Licensed NLP Master Practitioner and EFT Practitioner. I have trained with some of the best hypnotherapy and NLP trainers, including Paul McKenna, and by Dr Richard Bandler - the creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I have received training in both Ericksonian and traditional hypnotherapy, and combine all my skills and experience to produce a treatment that is tailored to your exact needs. So that I can help you to change in the quickest and most effortless ways possible.

I'd suggest booking a 30 minute Initial Consultation which gives us the chance to start exploring your problems further, answer any questions you might have and give you an estimate of the number of sessions you may require. Most specific issues can be very quickly dealt with in around four to six sessions, for more deep rooted or complex problems, possibly seven or more may be required. However as we are all unique individuals, you decide when you have reached resolution.

Treatment may be comprised of several individual 1 hour sessions or longer extended sessions.

I practice from my home in Chorlton-cum-Hardy in South Manchester, close to junction 7 & 8 of the M60 and the end of the M56. Within easy travelling distance from areas in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire. My services can be combined and tailored to your individual or company needs, and range from one to one private therapy or coaching sessions through to group training and workshops.

Hypnotherapy is used to assist people in breaking free of any destructive thought patterns that keep on spoiling their quality of life in some way. It's a kind of preventative medicine.

Hypnotherapy, and particularly self-hypnosis, can help people to deal and to cope effectively with the pressures and stress of modern day living.

Hypnotherapy is not just about problems, it is about effortless change, getting in touch with why you are like you are, and who you want to be.

The British Medical Association approved hypnotherapy as a valid medical treatment in 1955 and the American Medical Association followed in 1958.

Some questions you might have asked
yourself about hypnotherapy:

What is hypnosis?
A natural state of concentration combined with heightened awareness. People experience this state of highly absorbed attention naturally throughout each and every day. Common examples might include, day dreaming, when you are totally immersed in a book or TV show, engrossed in a favourite hobby or even when driving.

What is Hypnotherapy?
In hypnotherapy you are guided into hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. It is literally therapy done while in hypnosis and can be thought of as an effective and speedy form of psychotherapy.

Can anyone be hypnotised?
Yes - if they want to be.

Can I be forced to do things against my will?
Emphatically, NO! You are always in control.

Are drugs ever used?
No - never.

Will I be asleep?
No - you will be aware of what is going on all the time, and just feel very relaxed.

Why hypnotherapy and NLP are effective,
and how they differ from other therapies:

During hypnosis the client is in contact with their unconscious mind, the seat of all emotion and behavioural problems. Most other forms of therapy are carried out at a conscious level, and often they only work on the symptoms rather than the underlying cause of the problem.

The will power of the conscious mind is very weak when compared to the automatic unconscious responses. These responses and emotional reactions are like computer programs which keep running and running, causing the same unpleasant effects, until they are dealt with.

Problems can occur when a behaviour pattern/program is made in response to a situation that occurred in the past. When the person grows up, the situation changes, but the behaviour response sometimes does not. As hypnotherapy and NLP can change that behaviour response on an unconscious level, the scope is endless.

It is now widely recognised by the medical profession that mind and body are closely related. Therefore, any tension or disease in the mind can cause tension and disease in the body. Because both hypnotherapy and NLP work with the unconscious mind, then psychosomatic illnesses can be dealt with very quickly.

What is NLP?

NLP creates a model of how individuals structure their own unique experiences in life. Using NLP we can step into your view of the world to discover, patterns of thought, beliefs, values and help you to change those patterns, set compelling goals, build motivation and change your life for the better.

All NLP is carried out in a conscious state, and is therefore particularly suitable for people or organisations who do not feel comfortable with the idea of hypnosis but who still would like to benefit from a speedy and effective form of therapy.

NLP like hypnotherapy is very quick and effective, for specific issues three to four sessions are commonly all that is required. Often with noticeable changes after only a single session. For life coaching and business coaching more sessions spread over a longer period of time are usual.

As well as offering NLP for therapy, Life Coaching and Business Coaching, I also use NLP extensively within my hypnotherapy sessions.

So what does that mean?

It means that by knowing how your brain works you can change it so that is always working for you and improving your life and the lives of those around you.

Who can benefit from using NLP?

People from all walks of life use NLP personally and professionally. Often called the "Psychology of excellence" NLP is used for a multitude of reasons.

For example:

Individuals using NLP for Life Coaching will find it easier to achieve their goals, overcome their problems and develop new skills, because they gain greater access to their internal resources.

Businesses can utilise NLP for Business Coaching to greatly improve their sales and customer service as well as interpersonal management skills.

Educators can learn how each child learns best by studying the verbal and nonverbal language of a child. Education is communication of knowledge and experience through which one can retain the knowledge. NLP is used to strengthen communication skills of educators so that each student gains the most in the shortest amount of time.

Counsellors can help clients make lasting changes quickly and with lasting results. In a day and age when long drawn out therapies with limited results is the norm, NLP provides a fast and highly effective alternative.

Medical and Dental Professionals can eliminate patients' fears and anxieties about procedures. Along with the use of hypnosis to eliminate any possible pain the client may be anticipating.

Athletes can utilise NLP techniques to improve performance and concentration as well as mastering the skills they need to excel.

Actors & Performers can utilise NLP techniques in auditions and casting calls to get jobs. During performances NLP can assist in memorising lines as well unifying the performer with the character or image they are presenting for a more powerful performance.

What are the personal benefits of using NLP for Life Coaching?

On the personal side, Life Coaching will enable you to:

- Achieve your goals!
- Improve relationships and communication!
- Control you own internal mental states!
- Create powerful new internal states!
- Align your internal resources for maximum enjoyment!
- Communicate quickly and effectively!
- Make your life more fun than you could have ever imagined!

In short, you will find it easier to achieve your personal and professional goals, because you'll gain greater access to your internal resources as well as have more fun while doing it.
