General Testimonials
FAQs
Experientially it is a
deeply relaxing state of mind where you enter a state
akin to daydreaming where your subconscious can be accessed.
It is in the
subconscious where habits are formed and from where they can be changed.
Weight Loss -
"My
dairy allergy went as did my weight .....
look at me now... yipee"
Bernie

Weight loss sessions can be absolutely straight
forward particularly if the reasons are due to
obvious life style changes.
If the
problem has been long term and there are several
underlying issues, something that has built up
over a number of years may take a little
unpicking..

Smoking Cessation
Hypnotherapy has a proven success rate for smoking
cessation and usually smoking stops after one
session.
A typical smoking cessation package consists of 1-2
sessions of up to 2 hours
"it feels so very good not
to be a slave to the weed at long last". Lisa
and Brian B, Inverurie
“… neither of us
have touched a cigarette since our session with you,
even though there have been some pretty trying
times! Early days I know, but so far all is going
well and it feels so very good not to be a slave to
the weed at long last”
Anxiety
Treatment usually includes
cognitive behavioural therapy and management skills
including abdominal breathing
Public Speaking -
"My teacher couldn’t believe
I ever had a problem"
H - student
“I had my talk on
Tuesday and it went very well. My teacher couldn’t
believe I ever had a problem. He thought I was a
very confident speaker and it gave me no bother,
even though I had potential for lecturing! NO
CHANCE! Although I do feel a lot more comfortable
than before and it’s all thanks to you! Will be sure
to recommend you to others”.
Exam Nerves -
"A wonderful end"
M. March
“I want to thank you
very much for the part you played in helping me to
achieve a successful outcome to my course. You gave
me one of your meditation tapes and it did just what
I needed at the time I needed it. I had the final
exam at the weekend and I passed it and was told
then that I had also passed the written papers I had
sat the previous month. A wonderful end to what has
been quite a tough year's course”.
Exam
nerves -
went off
to school with a hop & a skip - literally!"
J's Mum
Many thanks indeed
for seeing J + for your patience throughout her time
with you...it was her first day of exams today (3
exams in one day!) and rather than moan about how
she was going to do badly etc etc she revised last
night and went off to school with a hop & a skip -
literally! Her own comments about being with you
were extremely positive + she was asking whether she
would be able to see you again sometime. Funny
thing is Vicki, I reckon I got almost as much out of
being an observer the other day as J did being the
'patient'.
Arachnophobia -

coping with spiders"

Stress Management -
"...you are streets ahead of the Albyn hospital"
J
"Good afternoon - I
hope you are well. I feel great at the moment and
have done for the past couple of weeks - a large
part of this I believe is down to you and the
meditation tapes I've been listening to, so huge
thanks to you from me ! It has been a great help to
me at a very difficult time indeed, you are streets
ahead of the Albyn hospital. Thank-you very much for
all your help again, it was great!"

Anger Management - "it’s
like I am someone else....your worth your weight in
onion parings"
Alex W,
Aberdeen
"Vikky, ...
super session yesterday. I can’t explain it but I
feel so much more calmer, it’s like I am someone
else. My highest compliment would be your worth
your weight in onion parings so there you go. I look
forward to my further transformation next week"
Depression
Holistic therapy particularly cognitive behavioural
therapy using hypnotherapy can relieve the
symptoms of depression and greatly reduce the
chances of remission because of the educational
component.
Depression -
"I now feel better than I
have done for years"
C
"Vicki, I would like
to tell you how much you helped me, from the first
phone call I could sense you were a caring person
and someone I could relate to. As you are now aware
I am a private person and find it difficult to share
my feelings, after our first meeting I realised I
could trust you implicitly and felt at ease telling
you how I felt. since then I began to look forward
to our meetings and usually went home tired but in
my heart knew that one day I was going to feel
better than I had done for years. That happened and
was able to do things I had not dreamt possible. I
have recently returned from five weeks at the other
side of the world, I achieved that only because of
the help I received from you and the caring support
of my husband and close friends. I now feel better
than I have done for years and I cannot thank you
enough for what you did to help me through what was
the most awful part of my life. my husband and
friends see me as a changed person with a different
attitude to life since my meetings with you. Thank
you from the bottom of my heart"

me when, I had my deep times, with the Chemo" Ken
“….
thank, you for all your kindness you gave me when, I
had my deep times, with the Chemo... I've got all
the strength I need. What you have given me is
kindness and understanding when I needed it most and
I’ve been able to tell you things that I wouldn’t
tell anyone else. You reminded me how lucky and
happy I really am in life. Whatever problems I may
have, will all work out.

Bulimia -
"Thanks again Vicki for your
help in making me believe in myself and showing me a
new way in this world. I certainly wouldn’t be at
such great place in my life without your help”.
Tanya
“… It has taken a
long time to realize that my disorder is not in
control of me but I am the one who makes the choices
as an adult and not as a vulnerable, emotional
child.
I am entering the
10K this year to fulfil a dream I’ve always had.
Before it would have been to stop my eating disorder
now it is to see myself at the starting line of the
run with everything behind me and hopefully to
finish! Using food to fuel my body not to eat away
my feelings, knowing that my angel is with me every
step of the way. The only way I can describe the way
I feel inside is a solid column of light and energy
with no cracks that leak away losing energy. If here
is a leak at any time it s quickly healed and the
balance is restored .Thanks again Vicki for your
help in making me believe in myself and showing me a
new way in this world. I certainly wouldn’t be at
such great place in my life without your help”.

“….the midwives all
commented on how calm she (the baby) was during the
labour, especially considering the length of it.
….because I was so calm and had no pain killers. I
have to admit I had a great support team but am
still proud of myself….I am still using the hypnosis
to help myself sleep but also just to relax when she
is up all night…Thank you for all your help. I am
sure it would have been a lot harder to endure
without it”.

FAQs
What happens during the initial session?
On the first
appointment I like to allow up to 2 hours during which I'll take
your case history, in other words you tell your story including what
you would like to achieve from therapy. Then I'll explain in more
detail my particular way of working and
make suggestions of what might work
best for you and how many sessions it might take (interventions
are normally short
term 1-20 sessions)
If we both feel we can work together we'll decide the
way forward, clear up any last minute anxieties and begin the
therapy.
What is the Holistic Approach?
The holistic approach
means that all aspects of being - mind body and spirit - are
addressed. Symptoms are not treated but the root cause. Therefore
the modalities used are transformational and empowering, promoting
personal growth and increasing intuitive processes at the clients
pace. The therapist simply facilitates the change of consciousness
required in the client in order to meet their desired outcomes.
What is Vicki Rebecca's approach?
My approach is
holistic, and I view myself as a psychotherapist using
hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Sekhem as tools for
transformation. For weight loss clients that includes fitness
consultation and training if requested.
Theoretically I integrate cognitive behavioural psychotherapy,
Mnemodynamics
psychotherapy and the many other modalities I've come across during
my journey as a therapist and trainer - my concern is
getting results
for the client in front of me
whatever that may take and my goal is YOUR empowerment as an individual.
What is
Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of altered awareness in
which the imagination rather than the intellect is active. Contrary
to a widespread belief, it does not involve becoming unconscious and
it has nothing to do with sleep. It cannot be forced upon people,
but it is a state which therapist facilitate and clients allow
themselves to enter. In this sense, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
In the form of daydreaming, vivid remembering anticipating the
future, or fantasising, hypnotic states occur in everyday life.
Within the clinical setting it is accompanied by
a very pleasant state of physical relaxation, which in itself is
very beneficial, especially in the treatment of symptoms induced or
aggravated by stress. In such cases it is not a substitute for
medical treatment but a very useful supplement to it.
Hypnosis cannot perform miracles, but it is a
state of awareness, which can be used for self-help. Psychological
problems, from unwanted habits to irrational anxiety states, can
usually be traced to distorted, one-sided, or unbalanced attitudes,
deeply imbedded in the mind, often at an unconscious level. By the
time they come for help, clients have usually exhausted the
resources of their logical, critical, conscious minds. In the
hypnotic state, they can draw upon their inner imaginative and
experimental resources, and be open to suggestions, which encourage
more sensible, balanced, or helpful attitudes to reality.
For some conditions regression techniques (Mnemodynamic
psychotherapy)
are used. This means re-experiencing
imaginatively significant events in one's life. Sometimes this is
used to discover within oneself qualities and resources which, made
available in the problem situation, will solve it. Traumatic
experiences which have had a distorting effect on the mind, can
sometimes be re-assessed, and their harmful effects eliminated or
subdued.
It is
not possible to get "stuck" permanently in hypnosis. As with sleep
or any other state of mind, people emerge naturally from hypnosis,
especially when there is a need to do so. Nor are you under the
power of the hypnotist, where your mind can be read and your deepest
feelings exposed. This is false. A hypnotherapist cannot make you
do anything that is against your will or expose feelings that you do
not want to share. Although you are in a state of deep relaxation
where powerful suggestions can be made, beautiful and magic insights
can be found, YOU are in control of your inner journey.
Myth & Magic
There seems to be a popular
misconception that in hypnosis you are under the power of the hypnotist,
that your mind can be read and your deepest feelings exposed. This is
false. A hypnotherapist cannot make you do anything that is against your
will or expose feelings that you do not want to share. Although you are
in a state of deep relaxation where powerful suggestions can be made,
beautiful and magic insights can be found, YOU are in control of your
inner journey.
While in a hypnotic state you will be
able to tap the power of your unconscious mind and unlock the way for
change.
What is Psychology?
Psychology is the study of human behaviour. It seeks to understand
the motivational forces within each individual, which explains his or
her responses to the environment, especially to other people.
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is the application of psychological knowledge to the
treatment of those suffering from disorders of a psychological
origin.
Who can enter the state of Hypnosis?
Nearly everyone, once it is understood that the hypnotist cannot
hypnotise an unwilling subject. Experienced hypnotherapist will tell
you that it is intelligent and imaginative clients with a strong
motivation for change who achieve the best results, even when only
comparatively light states of hypnosis are attained.
Who can practice Psychotherapy or Hypnotherapy?
At
present, any person, whether trained or not, can enter private
practice. There are a few "National" bodies attempting to bring
these professions into recognised parameters. Vicki Rebecca is a
member of National Hypnopsychotherapy Council (NHC) working towards
accreditation with UKCP. NHC practitioners must adhere to a strict
code of ethics and practice, and are fully covered by professional
indemnity insurance. The NHC is the associated professional body of
the Centre Training International School of Hypnotherapy and
Psychotherapy, whose training course is validated by the United
Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
