Alan appeared on Ulster Television's 'Ask Anne' programme, whereby the presenter supplied a candidate who wanted to quit smoking using Hypnosis.

The first part of the programme was devoted to agoraphobia. Additionally, this section detailed Alan helping a psychologist overcome her problem.

The second part produced the candidate who wished to give up smoking using Fast Track Hypnosis, consequently, the Hypnotherapy process recorded at Alan's office in Belfast.

A week later the candidate and Alan then appeared on the programme to discuss the results.

At the end of the series, again the candidate was contacted. As a result, he was STILL off the cigarettes -  four and a half months later!.

Furthermore, during that time, he had found it quite easy to do so!

Alan, for the second time, a demonstration of Fast Track Hypnosis on UTV's consumer programme "Check it out".

In Addition a new technique,  Alan introduced into Northern Ireland, used this time, called "Mindseye Courier".

Once again, the outcome of this television programme had been successful.

This concept is a revolutionary relaxation system from America. It harnesses light and sound science.

This computerised, audio-visual system rapidly creates a state of deep relaxation. Produced traditionally by much slower techniques such as meditation, yoga, visualisation, etc. it dramatically speeds up the whole induction process.

By synchronised light and sound patterns scientifically programmed, the "Mindseye Courier " helps with behaviour modification. Included in this are weight loss, smoking, relaxation, phobias, stress, blushing, etc.

The equipment has been loaned to hospitals, doctors and dentists to use on their patients, and with excellent results.

In addition to the high success rate of Alan's Stop Smoking and Weight Control sessions, he introduced another new concept. Laser Light Therapy.

The theory behind Laser Light Therapy is on the acupuncture principle., No needles are involved, and the procedure is entirely painless, and optional if the client so wishes.

In simple terms, a small beam of light positioned over the acupuncture points on the client's outer ear.

By applying this, it enhances the production of the body's natural endorphins (an anti-stress chemical that creates a happy feeling). The result is, it increases the client's own will and determination to quit smoking or lose weight. It occurs with little or no withdrawal symptoms.

Put together; these audio and visual techniques are a standard practice by Alan. NO other Hypnotherapist uses them.

In conclusion, this ensures the client receives the best treatment available, in a speedy and extremely effective way.
