After having been in practice as a psychotherapist & hypnotherapist
since 1976 and having helped many people, realize their goals and improve the
quality of their life, in face to face hypnotherapy sessions and in
self-development groups, I have decided to go into semi-retirement but I am
keeping this website to give others the benefit of my 30+ years in the
profession by giving free advice and recommendation. If you have any specific questions
regarding hypnotherapy or personal development
that you cannot find from the pages on this
website,
please feel free to
Around 1979, Ibecame interested in
Zen and started practicing zazen (a form of Zen meditation) on a daily basis. I
combined my experience of the power of Zen with psychotherapy, hypnosis, self-hypnosis and
meditation in groups and on a one-to-one basis. It is through this Zen-like
influence that my clients began to experience some powerful results
and began to recognize and become more sensitive
to the knowledge when they entered a state of
hypnosis. (see what
is hypnosis?
below)
Although I have gone into semi-retirement, I continue to practice
self-hypnosis and all the
Zen disciplines outlined on this website myself and I am constantly realizing
more and of the inner potential of the subconscious mind. Spiritual growth
doesn't ever stop regardless of age or current knowledge about the workings
of the mind and hypnosis, it is more about a journey, than a destination.
Anybody can master the techniques of Zen and meditation and achieve a higher
level of mastery in life. And this is what this site is all about and why I
am keeping it live.
The potential of the human mind is truly incredible of which it is said,
that a genius uses only 12%. My intention continues
to assist as many individuals as possible, to achieve a greater level of
'reality' in life. Please feel free to read all that is on this website, and if
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via the e-mail links
that you see throughout these pages.
I do not make a charge for helping others and will endeavour to do all I can
to point my visitors in the right direction best suited to their needs. This could mean contacting a therapist in
their area, suggesting a meditation process, or what books to read (it is amazing
what power the written word can have).
Please understand that apart from the books and
hypnosis CDs, books
and MP3
soundtracks, the information on this site is
free and are for those who are
interested in discovering more about their personal potential and spiritual nature. With regards
to therapy, it is for information purposes only and not meant to be

For those people who are seeking hypnosis
and are a little apprehensive, below I have
outlined exactly what hypnosis is, and hopefully
can dispel a lot of myths.. There are many misconceptions about hypnosis and the
way a hypnotist works, so the
best way to begin is to tell you what hypnosis is not...
Hypnosis is not... being rendered unconscious (A hypnotist
does not send his subject to "sleep"
so that they lose consciousness)
Hypnosis is not... being subjected to another's will (A
clinical hypnotist does not force his will on
his clients)
Hypnosis is not... Sleep
Hypnosis is not... Dangerous
Hypnosis is not... Occult, paranormal, black magic, spiritism, etc. etc.
(A hypnotist is just like any other regular
person and does not use the paranormal)
Hypnosis is...
An altered state of consciousness that enables the
subject to replace negative thoughts and behaviour patterns with
positive ones. It is also a 'tool' to enable a subject to recover
lost (repressed) memories that are causing unwanted conditions in
life.
What can hypnosis be used for?
Hypnosis can be used for habit control: To help stop smoking
(more); stop
overeating (more); nail-biting and many other unwanted habits.
Also...
Hypnosis is an effective tool for stress management.
Hypnosis
helps with phobias, fears, nervous asthma, sexual problems,
relationship problems, blushing, examination nerves, learning
difficulties, business stress, grief, fear of flying, spiders, snakes, sports
performance.
Hypnosis helps improve salesmanship, and so on, and so on...
Hypnosis is a powerful process to help increase motivation
and really powerful way to help develop many skills, and increase
general confidence. Also techniques of hypnosis are taught to those who wish to
enhance self-awareness and inner development.
Many people these days suffer from stress-related
problems, so many people can benefit
from hypnosis and or meditation. There is very little difference
between hypnosis, self-hypnosis or meditation.
You cam learn these skills by the use of my cassette tape/CD recordings
or by reading my article, Why
Meditate? If you have further questions
please
For those who are interested in practising self
hypnosis, an excellent guidance system is by the cassette tape/CD
service. I have developed a large range of cassette tapes/CD or will
make a hypnosis cassette/CD especially to cater to individual needs. Also a
client can receive back-up interaction and advice with me by e mail.
Cassette tapes/CDs are useful for people who are unable
to see a hypnotherapist for any reason and can be used for help
to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce worry and stress, gain
confidence, gain motivation/enthusiasm, improve concentration and
more. Click here for more information
It is through books that many people start to make a difference in their
lives and I fully believe in the power of the written word to help
focus the mind and transcend negativity.
However, in pursuing self-development and self-esteem, the types of books
that are needed to be read are those that will give you much more than just intellectual
information and knowledge. They are...
The type of books
that will inspire you to take action
The type of books to inspire
you to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES in your day-to-day life
The type of books to improve the quality of
your life,
The type of books to inspire you to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Because that is what we as
human beings aspire to. We really want to make a difference in some aspect
or another. Ask yourself, "where do I want to make a difference?" or "where do I need to make a difference?"
It is no good reading a book and merely saying to yourself, "that sounds
like a good idea" and then doing nothing. You will need to commit to act
on the principles and instructions/advice for a long enough period
of time to see whether or not that particular book works for you. Then, if it doesn't, move
on, book an appointment with or talk to or e-mail a hypnotherapist to discover
if hypnotherapy is something that's going to
work for you.
On Line Help
I have discovered in my experience
with my Internet clients on line, (which
has been for approximately 10-12 years),
that it is indeed very possible to help people
using a combination of guided meditation CDs,or MP3s
and e-mail consultations, and make a big difference
in their lives. As you may already realise,
I am a Zen
practitioner and this strongly influences
my approach to clients.
In Zen, it is said, when the student is ready, the master will appear. The
"master" comes to give vital information at the right time.
The master can
come not only in the form of a person, but a book, life situation, internet
page or article or something else. Then, once the "lesson"
is learned, the student
can discard that particular master, and choose to move on to the next. I
say "choose" because as human beings we always have a choice, a free will
about whether we continue to grow or stand still. And sometimes we may need
to stand still and take stock of where we have come from and where we are
going. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to use
the e-mail link below to contact me. Please
be assured that your e-mail address will remain
confidential on not be passed on to a third
person.
Below are some books, availabe in both U.K and U.S.A. that I have found invaluable
in my own growth and development, as a hypnotherapist and as a Zen practitioner.
