John Brett, Dip.Hyp, Cert.E.Hyp, Cert.S.Dep, Dip.CBT, MWFH, MBAThH, MHS, MCS. Clinical Hypnotherapist, Behavioural Therapist & Counsellor, Accredited Supervisor |
I work with people who have various psychological & emotional problems which affect their lives who wish to take positive action and change, and I specialise in treating panic attacks, anxiety disorders & depression. I have a background in helping people who are bereaved, and am an experienced Trainer in the field of Self Development.
Whilst working in this field, I have used many techniques for confidence building and removing barriers with students that were strongly linked with Hypnosis, Behavioural Therapy and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and which work well in a teaching/learning environment ~ they provide a fast, elegant way of helping people to move forward through any number of barriers.

Whilst hypnosis is not to be associated with anything mystical, it is through my work with people in the field of Spiritual & Self Development, and through personal experience, that I became interested in human potential, the power of the mind and hypnosis, eventually leading to my training as a Hypnotherapist.
My own experience of hypnosis and hypnotherapy, which cemented my interest in the subject, came when I needed pain control for severe sunburn. After examination by my doctor (the extent of the burns covered my shoulders and upper back, and were too painful and messy to be covered), who advised that there was nothing to do but continue to apply cooling after-sun lotion, take some Paracetamol, and wait for the burns to heal, I had a friend hypnotise me and give suggestions for controlling the pain. It was so effective, that as well as allowing me to go about my normal routine and cover the wounds without pain, the healing process was seemingly accelerated due to the mind not being focused on the pain facilitating my body's healing processes more rapidly. Upon return to my doctor 6 days later, he was surprised at the rate of healing which had occurred, as the tissue had almost completely regenerated and healed the wounds. That's when I realised that this was indeed a powerful, proactive tool for helping people.
My aim is to expel the many myths surrounding hypnosis and hypnotherapy, and to show you the simplicity of this natural state, and its numerous benefits for healthy living; teaching you to expel negative states, taking back control of your mind, and your life.
My work is constantly evolving as I develop and grow, and I invite you to join me on this journey, so that we can walk together a while; that we may learn from each other. |
