Fast Track Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy - A part of my Life!

Whenever I commenced in practice over 24 years ago in Belfast, I never dreamed that I would also have clinics in Spain, on the Costa Blanca as well.

People would very often ask me why my style of Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy is different from the conventional way. It all stems back to my early years as a Hypnotherapist in Belfast in the early 80's.

Back then Hypnotherapy was a new Alternative treatment and many people viewed it with scepticism. Having trained as a Hypnotherapist, I then opened a small office in Belfast. One of the Sunday newspapers then did a feature on me, and word started to get around that there was this guy who could help to sort people out with their problems. It just started to grow from there. I saw the employed, unemployed, multi millionaires, TV, Radio and sports personalities, people from every walk of life (to date I have seen well over 50,000 + people).

In a short space of time I had 7 Clinics throughout Northern Ireland and working 7 days a week flat out. People were coming to see me for various reasons and problems, among them the common ones such as to Stop Smoking or Lose Weight.

However, in Northern Ireland it was completely different from Mainland UK due to the many victims of the troubles. In those early years counselling was very limited so I had to help thousands of people caught up in the conflict. Such as rescue service personnel who had to go into the aftermath of bombings, and even the people caught up in bombings, shootings, bomb scares, armed robberies, the list was endless.

For example, a women came to me with chronic insomnia, whenever she woke up one night there were 4 gunmen standing around her bed, or the survivor from the Kegworth air disaster who needed to overcome their fear of flying. There are countless more stories like these, and I am sure that no other Hypnotherapist had to do what I had to! Sadly, I still get these types of people coming even now, to my Northern Ireland clinics.

It was because of this, that I came away from my conventional training whereby people would normally be regressed into their childhood to try to recall the originating cause of their panic attacks, or other problems. This could take up to 15 sessions to achieve, when clearly it wasn't in their childhood at all, it had happened right then!

These people had suffered enough and just wanted it sorted out as quickly as possible so that they could get on with their lives. And that is exactly what I did!
