Psychotherapy

Advanced Hypnotherapy

Chris qualified as an Advanced Hypnotherapist in 1989.

Advanced Hypnotherapy is based on the work of the late Dr Milton H Erickson who was the psychiatrist and psychotherapist whose studies pioneered modern hypnosis. Neuro-Linguistic Programming, mainly derived from Milton Erickson studies and techniques is commonly used by Advanced Hypnotherapists. A dynamic system incorporating the more up to date methods and research that allows the therapist to work with the Left/Right Hemispheres of the brain permitting communication of the conscious / subconscious mind. The client is not expected to fit into a rigidly defined system rather the opposite in fact, It gives the client increased choices, avoiding the automatic repetitive responses that promoted behaviour problems and stress. Positive behaviour patterns are accepted as being normal and the client is free from negative reactions and behaviour.

Ericsonian Therapy is based on the extraordinary work of the legendary therapist, Dr Milton H Erickson. It relies primarily on well-crafted therapeutic suggestion which can create major attitudinal shifts in clients, often in a remarkably short time
