Little steps to a full life of achievement We’ve noticed lately that so many people when trying to either reach a goal or make changes in their life, with the best of intentions, go about it in a way that almost always ends up in failure! What a great shame when we see what we want in life, read about it and dream of having it only to be another “I wish” or even worse “If only I’d persisted a little more” There’s a sure fire way to stop this happening and it’s the same proces

Recently I read an article in the national newspapers highlighting a story about a young boy of 12 years old who had developed a phobia of flying and now been stranded in the Middle East for more than one year. Eventually, with the aid of Hypnotherapy, he managed to overcome his fear and fly back with his Father to meet up with his Mother and Sister who had already returned to the UK. Fear of flying is one of the more common phobias that we work with here at Cambridge Hypnoth

Something special happening at Cambridge Hypnotherapy Lately I have been overwhelmed, in a good way, in having the opportunity to work with young people, young adults that is. With that I mean 19 – 21 year olds, wanting to get theirself together and doing something about it. It seems to me that it must take a lot of courage to get in touch with a Hypnotherapist, someone that does an ‘ism ~ Hypnotism and then be prepared to do whatever it takes to be the way they want to be! I

Can we Cure? The other day a prospective client came to our complimentary initial consultation saying they had been told by their friends to see a hypnotherapist to get cured. Oh I forgot to add the cure was also to be guaranteed. This begs the question “Who do we know who can say they can cure?” Or “Who do you know who can and does guarantee a cure?” Let’s see…. v     A physiotherapist….. No v     A nurse……………No v     Oh! I know a doctor…… No. We have all heard of patients b

2013 is upon us, and no doubt 1000’s of people out there are now starting to plan their new healthy eating diets and joining up with their local gyms in order to lose weight, as this year they’re sure things will be different….. I admire their initial motivation, and their positive approach to weight loss is wonderful to see, but I really do think that these people are approaching losing weight COMPLETELY wrong. The reason I think this is simple….. FOOD is not the problem, TH

I was talking to a prospective client on the telephone just the other day desperately seeking help for their child. Unfortunately I did not feel we were the right people to help, or may better put I had a feeling there must and should be someone more experienced in this particular field/problem area to deal with a client of such a young age. The problem this lady had was she felt totally unsupported and left with no particular course of action. Obviously if she was unable to

There’s a wonderful clip on Youtube To me, one of the funniest men to create stories that come to life in your head. This one’s a skit video.

What to expect at an initial consultation with Cambridge Hypnotherapy We think the bravest thing you do in solving your issues and making the changes you want is to arrange or book an initial consultation. So when you come along here’s what to expect: Well firstly DON’T expect to be hypnotised because you won’t. We don’t do any work at all on your issues ~ so you can relax now. But you can expect to made comfortable because that’s the most important thing about this consultat

Imagine how much more difficult life would be if lifts and escalators didn’t exist? Having to visit relatives in a hospital on the 12th floor…. going into large shopping centres and wanting to have a look in a shop on the top level…. realising you have parked on the top floor of the car park and now you have to carry all of your heavy shopping bags up with you, every step of the way. Well for some people this is their life. A phobia of lifts and escalators is hugely common, a

Being alone for some people can be just what they want. A time for thinking, working things out in their heads ~ finding a little space in our busy lives. For others being alone can be isolating to the extreme and create deep feelings of loneliness. If you have ever experienced this you will know that feeling, which is different for each one of us. For some it may be an empty feeling, others a feeling of loss and helplessness. So for those who want that space and can’t find i

It’s great that our clients not only give us feed back on how they have changed they are also willing to share it with the world through allowing us to show it as testimonials. We have had two this week and it’s only Wednesday morning! Both Luke and I know it wasn’t what we both did that created the change in these and all our clients it was their desire to change and willingness to do whatever it takes that really made the change ~ They did it (with, we would like to think ,

A little while ago I received a reply to an initial consultation reminder text we send out that made me think. The text read something like this: “Thanks. Ironic that I am seeking your help as I am anxious about everything” and here’s the bit that got me “Including coming to see you!”It’s only because we know the initial consultation is our way to put you at your ease and we have been in so many we’re never anxious! Being serious though I can really empathise with that commen

The other day a client called about coming along to an initial consultation but was scared. She had beeen recommended to ‘try’ hypnotherapy by a friends and even though her friend new the results first hand she still remained scared and worried. This can be typical for quite a few people so I thought I would let you know the truth. So let’s describe a typical hypnosis trance: If you get up in the mornings with an alarm then you will sure to have had this experience or if you

Have you ever had the experience of being both happy and disappointed at the same time? I worked such a lovely client who had had depression for over 15 years and life’s experiences were not the best. Well it was those experiences that remained in the forefront of their mind when they first came to visit us for the complimentary consultation. Desperate for someone to help and be truthful in expectations we began our first session which began the process to recovery of a life

Sound familiar? It certainly does to me, not only from the amount of Cambridge Hypnotherapy clients that say those exact words to me during an initial consultation, but I also used to not like speaking in front of people. Standing up and presenting in front of a group of people can be a very daunting task, especially when some of the group will consist of higher authority figures, maybe a boss or supervisor at work for example. Taking this into account it is easy to see why t

Before we get into how we at Cambridge Hypnotherapy use various techniques to let go of phobias in only one session, its important to understand what a phobia actually is, and why it happens in the first place. A phobia can be described as a one trial learning, meaning it only takes one very bad experience to create a phobic response/behaviour. For example, if a man was once attacked by a dog, at that time he will have experienced a huge fearful experience and been absolutely

When Lindsay approached me here at Cambridge Hypnotherapy, asking for help in getting rid of her phobia of lifts (elevators), I couldn’t wait to get started. Working with someone you know, and have known for many years, really gives you a great sense of trust and excitement. Being a nanny meant Lindsay was often required to take the children she looked after shopping, and you can just imagine how hard it would be to carry two children, a pram, AND all your shopping bags up th

Something I found that might inspire you Joseph Clough, attended hypnosis classes to get over his shyness. CONFIDENT and charming, with an easy smile, it’s hard to believe Joseph Clough was once crippled by shyness. “I used to blush very easily,” admits the 25-year-old, with a grin. “At one point it got so bad I even struggled to talk to my relatives: if they asked me a question, I could manage ‘yes’ or ‘no’ but that was about it.” Nowadays, Joseph thinks nothing of talking t

We now have a video of the Fear Factor from ITV all you have to do is follow this link. Joseph has been amazed at the response he has had from all over the UK and people are travelling from all parts to meet with him to let go of their phobias. And the best part is we know that when they’re gone the world will be so different for them and the ripples of this change will continue to change other areas of their lives with new opportunities that were always there but seemed invi

It’s great that Joseph has proved again our skills at eliminating phobias. Last Friday 21st November Joseph appeared on ITV’s Fear Factor and showed how easily we can help let go of fears and phobias. Although on the day he worked with about five people time only allowed to show what it meant to two people to be free of their phobia. We will be receiving the video sections of his great work and will be uploading them soon…….so watch this space for more news. If you feel you n
