Weight Loss - "My dairy allergy went as did my weight ..... .JPG)
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.."I have completely lost the taste for chocolate!" MS

session. "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” Treatment usually includes cognitive behavioural therapy and management skills including abdominal breathing
“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 MumMany 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'.

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"
“…. 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Psychotherapy is the application of psychological knowledge to the treatment of those suffering from disorders of a psychological origin.
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.
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).
