Fast Track Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy - A part of my Life for 25 years !
I commenced in practice over 25 years ago in Belfast, however, I never thought that I would have additional clinics in on the Costa Blanca, Spain as well. Very occasionally people would query why my style of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy is very different from the conventional way. It goes back to the early '80s as a Hypnotherapist in Belfast .
Hypnotherapy was a new Alternative treatment back then, and people mostly viewed it with a great deal of scepticism. After having trained as a Hypnotherapist, I opened a small office in Belfast calling it Belfast Hypnotherapy Centre. One of the Sunday newspapers did a feature on me, and as a consequence word started to get around there was this Hypnotherapist in Belfast who could help to sort people out with their problems. It just started to grow very quickly from there. I saw the employed, unemployed, multi millionaires, TV, Radio and sports personalities, people from virtually every walk of life (to date I have seen well over 50,000 + people).
In a very short space of time I had 7 Hypnotherapy Clinics throughout Northern Ireland and was working 7 days a week flat out. People were coming to see me for a multitude of reasons and problems, among them the common ones such as Stopping Smoking or Loosing Weight. In Northern Ireland, however, it was very different from the UK Mainland due to the troubles and its many victims. Those early years counselling was very limited, so I had to help thousands of people caught up in the conflict. Such as the rescue service personnel who had to go into the aftermaths of bombings or even the people caught up in bombings, shootings, bomb scares, armed robberies, the list is endless.
A women who came to me for example with chronic insomnia, whenever she woke up in bed one night there were 4 gunmen standing around her, or the survivor from the Kegworth air disaster who needed to overcome their total fear of flying. There are countless more stories like these, and I am sure no other Hypnotherapist has ever had to do what I had to do! Sadly, I am still getting these sorts of people coming to my Hypnotherapy Centres even now. It was because of this I came away from my conventional training where people would normally be regressed back into their childhood to try to recall the originating cause of their panic attacks, or other problems. This could possibly take up to 15 sessions to achieve any results, when clearly it wasn't in their childhood at all, it had happened right then!
All these people had suffered quite enough and just wanted it sorted out as fast as possible so that they could get on with their lives. And that is exactly what I did and continue to do so !
