That Hypnotherapy Guy

I’m Tim and I’m a fully qualified and accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist. 
I practice a modern, evidence-based form of psychotherapy and hypnosis called solution-focused hypnotherapy (SFH).                                   

In SFH, we use well-established and practical techniques that help clients achieve positive psychological and behavioural changes in their lives in a relatively short period of time.

Training, Qualifications & Accreditations

I trained at the  Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy school and graduated with an accredited Hypnotherapy in Practice diploma from the National Council for Hypnotherapy and diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (Clifton Practice).  I’m also a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy.

 

 

5 Reasons Why Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Works?

  1. We don’t focus on the root cause of the issue or past trauma. We’re forward thinking and use some of the most effective components of psychotherapy to help you determine how to meet your goals, get happier and optimise performance
  2. It’s evidence based. We’ll incorporate what neuroscience tells us about brain functionality to help explain how you feel and behave the way you do – and how to change
  3. It’s adaptable. Not only can it be used to treat mental health issues, but it can also be used to optimise performance; whether that’s in sports, the creative arts or in the workplace
  4. Results can be achieved in a relatively short period of time. Typically, between 6 to 12 sessions (give or take)
  5. By the end, you’ll have a mental health toolkit that you’ll be able to utilise to your advantage for the rest of your life

What to expect during hypnosis?

Well, for a start, despite what stage hypnotists would like us to believe, no one can be hypnotised against their will. So please don’t worry about being turned into a chicken!

During hypnosis (or trance), you are always in total control and fully aware of what is happening. Hypnosis is a perfectly safe, normal and deeply relaxing experience that we all experience on a daily basis. For example: when we complete a task without really thinking about it, when we exercise or watch TV.

Hypnosis will help you reach a deeply relaxed state of mind that will result in your subconscious being more receptive to suggestion and changes in behaviour.

As a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, I follow and am accountable to their Code of Ethical Conduct and Performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hypnosis safe and am I always in control?

It’s perfectly safe and is just a natural, relaxed state of focused attention; one we all experience in our day-to-day lives – for example when we watch TV or exercise. It was recognised as a valid treatment for patients in 1955 by the British Medical Association. There are no swinging watches or counting to 10! You will always be in total control and fully aware throughout the process.

How will the hypnosis benefit me?

The hypnosis always follows the talking therapy part of each session. This is because, when we are in the trance state (hypnotic state), at a subconscious level, we are more receptive and capable of making positive, long term psychological and behavioural changes. It’s also very relaxing and my clients often feel re-charged afterwards.

Is solution focused hypnotherapy just as affective online?

Absolutely. There is no loss in the efficacy when hypnotherapy is conducted online. I have worked with the vast majority of my clients online. In fact, for many, because of the time saved travelling, online fits in really well with busy lifestyles.

What can I expect from each session?

You can expect a positive, safe and collaborative experience with every session. The first half is the talking therapy part; followed by hypnosis. Unlike other forms of therapy, we don’t re-visit the root cause or past trauma. Instead, we’ll focus on helping you re-frame your perspective and thinking to help you discover what needs to change and how.

As our approach is evidence-based, there will always be a section where I explain how your brain is impacting how you feel and think. Throughout the process I’ll give you a range of really practical and effective actions and strategies that will form your mental health toolkit.

Last but not least, we’ll finish with some deeply relaxing and chilled hypnosis.

What My Clients Say

Thanks for today’s session, Tim!

I really did enter into a state of deep relaxation, which – aside from helping me as a performer (actor) – is really helpful as a mum right now!

Having had great success with helping my daughter manage some self-esteem and confidence issues, I thought I’d try the same for my son who was struggling with the transition to secondary school. Tim managed to put both my children at ease almost immediately with his down-to-earth and very personable nature.

Tim personalised a programme for each of them, that helped them become more confident. As a parent I saw a huge difference in their general well being and a feeling of being more comfortable in their own skin.

Jenny’s daughter:

I felt very comfortable talking about how I wanted my day-to-day to improve. Tim was very approachable and I noticed that I started to care less about how people perceived me at school. I definitely felt more confident at school.

Thank you so much for the work you’ve done. It’s so appreciated and we’ve noticed such a difference! It’s so appreciated and we’ve noticed such a difference in her.
You have helped us more than I can ever tell you. Really….it’s bonkers. I’ll be eternally grateful. I don’t know what magic you have worked, but I see a massive improvement from where she started. She is more relaxed and definitely less anxious.

Tim’s really helped me control my anxiety and coming-up with amazing techniques to help me have that wee bit of control in how I feel. It’s been incredible to see how far I’ve come with his help – I could not recommend Tim highly enough.

‘I went to see Tim because I have a really debilitating fear of flying. It consumes all my thoughts weeks before I fly, I have very negative thoughts leading up to going as well. Tim was incredibly kind and understanding, I didn’t once feel like he was judging me, he seemed to really understand how the fear had taken hold of me.

He managed to pin point the first time I actually became fearful and the reasons why. The relaxation exercises helped me so much. Fast forward to my second flight now since the therapy and everything has changed. I no longer have anxiety weeks before hand. The bad scenarios I had in my head have been replaced by nicer thoughts, of which Tim helped me work through. It has changed my outlook on flying totally and if I feel myself getting slightly fearful I can go straight back to our relaxation exercises under hypnosis and it comforts me no end.

Thank you so much Tim for everything, I very much appreciate the time you took to go through this with me. I would recommend Tim to anyone. ‘

‘I’d been struggling to stop smoking for years, going for a few days without a cig then right back on them. Tim’ approach to helping me to understand the real reasons I kept going back to them helped me change my habits; consciously making an effort to say ‘no thanks’ to a cig.

It was all done in one session. The session itself was very informative, and really relaxed. I actually didn’t feel like I was in a session just felt like I was speaking to a friend. My desire to smoke simply disappeared and I’ve not smoked since. See Tim – he’ll help change your life’

‘I went to see Tim to help with me fear/anxiety of speaking in front of large groups of people. In particular, I had concerns over my Groom speech that I had to deliver on my wedding day. In my first session with Tim, he explained the theory behind the techniques, spent quality time understanding my goals and set out a plan of how he can help me achieve them.

Over the course of a few weeks, I had several sessions with Tim that included a mixture hypnotherapy and relaxation techniques that he drew on from his own experience (inc. acting and speaking in front of people). The combination of this really helped me achieve my aim, I grew in confidence after each session and I delivered my groom speech with confidence, I even did it without looking at the content I had printed. Friends and family commented afterwards that it looked I have experience in public speaking.

Tim was brilliant; he was meticulous in helping me visualise my perfect wedding day, gave me the tools I needed to turn my negative thinking and fear of public speaking into a positive and most importantly improved my self-confidence, so much so, that I can apply it to other aims and goals in my life. I would highly recommend Tim to help you achieve what you want’

‘I got in touch with Tim because I was in the process of starting up a new business and started to find the whole experience overwhelming, impacting my mental health and temperament. I must admit, I was a bit sceptical about the whole process but after just a few sessions, I started to feel less anxious, more positive and able to sleep better.

What really hit home for me, was understanding how the brain works; as that helped me understand why I was feeling to negative and anxious. I can honestly say working with Tim has changed my life for the better’

‘I started working with Tim because I wanted to lose weight to fit in the wedding dress I’d bought a size too small. The sessions helped me lose weight and I was able to fit in my dress 2 months early. BUT, although I achieved my goal, that only scratches the surface of how valuable and sanity saving my sessions with Tim were. I’ve had a pretty stressful year – work has been tough and my mother has dementia and has declined quite rapidly.

The first time she didn’t recognize me as her daughter I almost fell to pieces. If I hadn’t started working with Tim soon after, I’m not sure how I’d have coped. Hypnotherapy is actually a small part of the process. Tim explains how stress affects the brain and the body and worked with me to develop my own ways to reduce stress. I learned to recognize stress responses and how to separate my feelings about something from what was actually happening. All followed by a lovely relaxing trance session.

The weight goal was reached but I’ll continue to work with Tim longer term, for anyone dealing with anxiety or any stress related problems, working with Tim will improve your life’

My experience of receiving hypnotherapy through Tim was incredibly successful. He approached the sessions with humour, kindness and professionalism. We decided on a clear aim early on in the process – to help with my anxiety surrounding my Military Fitness Test – and I’m delighted to say I passed with 100% a few short months after.

Tim took my anxiety and turned into a strength, restoring my confidence which had been knocked after many failed attempts. I would highly recommend Tim for those feeling stuck in a rut, I felt positive and invigorated after the sessions. The techniques used were extremely practical and effective, it felt like Tim was in my corner from the get-go. The support he provided me with was invaluable and I’m forever grateful for him helping me start my new career
