“I’m doing really well - All issues seem to be better and I’m feeling pretty good! Many thanks for all your help” - A recent patient

 
Text Box: Did You Know that Hypnotherapy is not government regulated in the UK? (This is despite misleading statements that you may have seen from other therapists). Protect yourself and see our guide on ‘How to Choose A Hypnotherapist’? Beware when choosing a therapist as sadly anyone can claim to be a qualified hypnotherapist! And unfortunately, many do! Whilst proudly displaying their numerous ‘Diplomas’ that they have obtained on-line for a few pence. Along with a leaflet that indicates they belong to a ‘Governing Body’ – usually one invented by the on-line diploma seller! This area has too many poorly trained, part-time therapists (marketing men, bus drivers etc) with glossy brochures and professional looking websites just trying to make a ‘bit of money on the side’, rather than being full time professionals intent on helping people improve their lives. I am even aware of practitioners locally who have had NO training and have simply purchased a training DVD which includes a selection of ‘print your own’ Diplomas and Certificates, along with registration documents to non existent governing bodies! Read on to see why Release Hypnotherapy should be your only serious choice! Many hypnotherapists, (particularly the newly qualified or inexperienced) simply use basic suggestion based therapy quite often packaged as ’solution’ or ’resolution’ hypnotherapy. Others have attended a ‘best of’ training course learning a few basic techniques on a course lasting a week or two and peddle what little they know with baffling titles such as ‘integrated hypnotherapy’ or ‘Complete Mind Therapy’. At Release Hypnotherapy we have trained in a variety of powerful hypnotherapeutic and psychological disciplines and therefore go far beyond this by using the fastest and most suitable approaches and techniques for each individual person and issue. For example, using Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy techniques to assist in reprogramming your subconscious mind or using advanced and powerful techniques to attempt to find the original underlying source or cause of any problems to enable a full and speedy resolution to them. Only then do we use advanced and powerful suggestion techniques to reinforce the treatment administered. For example, a fear of flying may often not actually be a fear of being at a height, but sometimes it may be a fear of water, or claustrophobia, or lack of control. Therefore suggestion based therapy relating to fear of flying is purely ’papering over the cracks’ if the original cause is not found and resolved. At Release Hypnotherapy we would attempt to find and address that fear and only then introduce powerful reinforcement suggestions. We aim to solve problems fast! The advanced and powerful methods we use mean we are confident that we can resolve many problems quickly and easily, quite often in only two or three sessions! (subject to assessment at initial consultation). Many have been resolved in only one session! Even highly complex, or deep rooted problems can often be solved in as little as three to five sessions (It is very unusual for us to take as many as five sessions). Whereas many other hypnotherapists recommend ten, twelve or even fifteen sessions! Through constant research, we strive to stay informed of the latest, most powerful, best practice and emperically proven techniques from throughout the world. We use modern ‘hi-tech’ approaches and tools to supplement the skill of the therapist, where appropriate. For example, we may use a Galvanic Skin Response Meter to detect the level of relaxation or minute changes in anxiety in a patient. We may also use a specialized therapy sound reinforcement system to ‘get right inside your head’! After the successful treatment for your problem, you may be offered ‘backup’ and ‘reinforcement’ material to move your life permanently forward for the better. For example, we may offer, where appropriate, a professionally recorded, hypnotic suggestion CDs. We can also offer powerful suggestion based hypnotherapy CDs (including individually personalized products) to our many overseas patients. Please see our Self Help Products Section for more details. We can also offer this services to corporate customers - Please see the separate corporate section for details.

“My ‘black moods’, depression and lack of confidence simply left me after just a single session!” - A recent patient
Text Box: Latest News Update Last Year The Royal Society of Medicine announced that they feel that the increased use of hypnotherapy in many clinical and medical areas should be available on the NHS as it could potentially save the NHS millions of pounds, but the use of it is being undermined by cowboy practitioners with little training who have caused serious harm to patients. This has been highlighted by a recent survey which indicated the following very alarming statistics:- Only 3% of hypnotherapists claim to have had more than 600 hours of face to face training! Only 16% claim to have had in excess of 400 hours training. 17% claim to have only had a total of between 50 and 100 hours of training 3% Admitted to having NO training at all and 33% refused to give an indication (I wonder why?). 75% of hypnotherapists are part time, with 70% of therapists seeing less than 5 clients per week. Over 30% are not a member of any credible organisation. You might want to take these statistics into account when looking for a practitioner, (and don’t be fooled by ‘self taught’ hours, online, books dvds etc). Garry Coles at Release Hypnotherapy has completed in excess of 1200 hours of face to face clinical hypnosis training (including over 800 university hours, mostly at post graduate level). This is in addition to all the private research and study. Garry continues to be in demand with the local and national press and remains the UK hypnotherapy expert for ‘Greatvine’, the national UK ‘Expert Advice For Life’ helpline. Garry has also just been commissioned to produce and present a series of factual natural health radio programmes. Latest Complementary and Alternative Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis Health News for Surrey and Hants Hypnosis is generally considered to be an alternative or complementary therapy but according to the BMA (British Medical Association), it should be considered an "orthodox treatment" and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) consider hypnotherapy to be a valid psychological intervention. So perhaps it would be more correct to now term hypnotherapy a mainstream treatment which is fast becoming the therapy of choice for many people.  There is evidence being produced on a regular basis from around the world indicating it’s efficiency in treating a variety of problems and issues. It has been shown in research and scientific review to be more effective in many circumstances when compared to psychotherapy or counselling.  In addition, scientific research indicates that hypnosis has a therapeutic effect on many physical conditions, that it can be effective in addressing both psychological and physiological conditions.

WARNING! Are you thinking of consulting a hypnotherapist displaying the NHS logo? Or claiming to be NHS registered? Beware there are rogues in this area. They are probably NOT NHS registered and are using the logo illegally. Beware also of bogus qualifications and experience!
