Experience

Over the past 15 years Stephen has explored different types of therapy. Travelling all over Britian and across the Atlantic exploring various techniques where he has come to the realisation that suggestions, free association, self-observation, insight and gaining awareness are what really work with improving our lives.

Practising for over a decade now, he started out training in counselling (1995) and helping people with addictions, for Turning Point, in a Rehabilitation Unit in Rotherham.

Then moving on to private practise assisting smokers to quit with Clinical Hypnosis and using techniques like NLP (a system of language patterns designed to alter your way of thinking), and EFT (that's where you have to tap your face!).

Stephen travelled to American to learn their Style of Hypnotherapy using both indirect and direct suggestion and the traditional regression therapy.

Finally, for the past 3yrs studying pscho-analysis using both psychotherapy and hypnotherapy with Pure Hypnoanalysis where it is is completely different to counselling, because it focuses on the belief that all of your symptoms have an originating cause.

Personalities

Part of Stephen's work is involved in helping people to recognise traits and aspects of their personality – their psychological make-up (click on Personality Types) which are contributing in some way to their negative, limiting or distorted beliefs. Once these thoughts have been recognised, a person becomes empowered.
