Welcome To True Minds Hypnotherapy
We all suffer from stress and anxiety at some point in our lives. Stress and anxiety is a very natural response created in the brain to protect us from real and perceived threats and danger. However excess and sustained stress can rob us of our health, peace of mind and physical well being, causing anxiety, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Irritable Bowel (IBS), migraines and insomnia.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for anxiety, stress and panic attacks is a very powerful tool. It works fast, with many clients reporting improvement in their symptoms from the first appointment. I will help you understand how stress and anxiety is created in the brain and using a combination of psychotherapy and relaxing trance, together we will build a happy healthy future for you. This will usually take between 10 and 12 appointments to achieve lasting results.

Boost Your Confidence
If you are addicted to cigarettes and feel you do not have the will power to give up but you know you WANT to give up smoking, hypnotherapy can work for you. Are you addicted to smoking and would like to be free from this habit? Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy can certainly help you to achieve this. You can have a healthier lifestyle and be financially better off.
Hypnosis is an effective and positive way to help give up smoking, the process works in two stages. We have an inital consultation on the phone and I then send you a relaxing download and careful instructions to follow for at least a week. Then during a powerful two hour consultation which uses the most up to date research in neuroscience we address the source of your addiction to cigarettes and fully and finally remove that connection. The session finishes with a compelling and inspiring trance which shifts the subconcious and allows it to welcome and process positive change. You leave the session a non smoker, finally free of your smoking addiction.

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy, also referred to as Weight Loss Hypnosis, is a safe way to lose weight and keep it off, giving you a healthier, slimmer body. Hypnotherapy for weight loss DOES work, it is a powerful technique that helps people to lose weight.
Using the latest research in neuroscience, I will explain how our brains and bodies respond to food and why dieting, weigh-ins and calorie counting never work in the long term and create the enviroment for yoyo dieting. Through a process which is rewarding and life enhancing you will move towards your goal. Hypnotherapy can change the way you think about food in a very fundemental, life changing way. It can change the patterns of thought and behaviour on a neurological level, creating deep and lasting results. As you create new ways of thinking about and engaging with food, you will feel greater confidence and self esteem which can prove very life enhancing.

Weight Loss
If you are suffering from or have the signs of depression I use a powerful form of solution based therapy which can support your recovery and help you get back to living the happy, full life you desire.
Hypnotherapy can prove very effective in helping manage the symptoms of depression and support positive changes that can help relieve the condition. We will explore how the brain works and how negativity develops, how neurotransmitters can be activated to produce a greater flow of seratonin and other positive neurotransmitters. You will find yourself able to develop techniques and practices that work for you, all supported by the use of relaxing techniques that enhance the effectiveness and enjoyment of the work.
*Any changes to your medication should be carried out only in consultation with your GP and/or mental health team.
* If you are severely depressed it is important that you consult with your doctor

Depression & Mood Swings
Chronic pain can be life changing and make life very difficult, but using a combination of psychotherapy and relaxing trance I can support you to live a fuller and happier life. I have personally recieved a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and using the techniques I work with, I have successfully managed the condition.
Pain is the body’s natural way of alerting us to the possibility that something is wrong and needs attention. Therefore it should not be ignored. However, sometimes pain is chronic and is not relieved by medical intervention.
The way we think about the pain and our reactions to it can make a great difference to the intensity and frequency of the pain.
Whatever the cause of pain might be and assuming you have seen your GP, hypnotherapy can be very helpful. You learn what is happening in your brain that is making you feel worse and you learn relaxation techniques and strategies that can bring you considerable relief.
Some of the conditions that these techniques can work for include back pain, arthritic joint pain, IBS, fibromyalgia and migraines.

Pain Relief
Fertlity problems and treatment is stressful emotionally and physically but the gentle processes used in soltution focused hypnotherapy can support you through this time. Using a combination of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy we will work together to support and prepare you physically and mentally to meet the challenges you face. I work with male and female infertility.
There is convincing evidence that hypnosis can assist with the process of conception including a 2006 study of 185 women undergoing IVF treatment by Israeli Professor, Eliahu Levitas. It was found that double the number of women became pregnant after being hypnotised compared with those that weren’t. (28% compared to 14%). A more recent study in 2011 published in the American Society of Reproductive Medicine shows that women who participate in a mind/body program such as hypnosis for stress reduction while undergoing IVF treatment have a significantly higher pregnancy rate than those who do not. (52% versus 20%).
This is one of the most rewarding areas of my work and I look forward to meeting with you and offering real support during this challenging time.

If you have trouble sleeping and are finding yourself waking in the night, I can certainly help you. Solution focused hypnotherapy is a wonderfully positive way to cure insomnia, with clients reporting very positive results. We start by exploring how the brain creates the anxiety and stress which are the major causes of insomnia. Then through a very positive and relaxing process, we gently address the sleep problem using a combination of talk and hypnotic trance to create nights of peaceful unbroken sleep.

Insomnia
Do you want to create lasting real change in your personal and professional life? Do you have self limiting beliefs and habits that are holding you back? Sometimes just reading self help books is not enough, you know all the theory and have even put some of it into practice but know you can achieve more. You can be happier, richer, more confident and more successful. Whatever your goals, solution focused hypnotherapy can help you to realise them in a vibrant and engaging way. Hypnotherapy harnesses the enormous power of your subconcious mind, allowing to create the future you have always envisioned for yourself. Having personally experienced the benefits of immense personal growth and change through hypnotherapy I am always absolutely delighted to work with clients to help them realise their dreams and true self.

Personal Development
Phobias
Phobias can be very distressing but fortuntely they can be tackled very successfully within 4 sessions, leaving you happy, confident and free of your fears. Hypnotherapy can permanently eradicate your phobia.
This is how the process works in 4 sessions:
1. Initial Consultation: During this I explain what is happening in our brain when we suffer from a specific phobia. We discuss the process of trance and examine its power and effectiveness. Following this I will send you a free download of a wonderfully relaxing trance which helps to begin the process. You will listen to this each night in preperation for the next three sessions.
2. Pre-wind Session: This is a lovely relaxing session of hypnotherapy which will help you become used to the trance state and allows you to become more comfortable with the process, all of which helps enormously.
3. Rewind: Using a safe and controlled hypnotic state, the memory of the traumatic events surrounding the phobia is explored. During this process we desensitize the event and massively reduce the inappropriate response.
4. Reframe: During this session we create a brand new, appropriate response pattern to the specific subject of the phobia. We create a lovely, calm, controlled and comfortable new way of behaving and reacting.
Phobias tackled include spiders, flying, rodents, snakes, vomiting, heights, needles, dentists, birds, animals (the list is not exhaustive).
