These insights can allow you to permanently change the way you view the world and any issues it may be “causing” you.

Andrew James

C.hyp. DHP is a Hypnotherapist & Past-Life Therapist with over 20 years experience of helping people overcome problems such as Stress, Shyness, Panic Attacks, Nervousness, Worry and many other problems of an emotional nature to which the list is almost endless.

Cost per session is £45.00

 The therapy works firstly by guiding the client into a state of complete mental and physical relaxation and then giving the subconscious mind a series of direct positive suggestions  while the conscious or reasoning mind remains in the relaxed state, when properly accessed the subconscious mind will accept the new suggestions as reality. You don't have to believe the treatment will work in order for it to be effective. 

 Deep rooted problems can be helped by using a technique called Past-Life Therapy or Regression. By using this method, we are able to search back through the persons memory to discover the original cause of the problem, which although may have been long forgotten, still affects the persons life and well being. By resolving issues associated with the original events, the problems are usually helped as well.  Many conditions can be treated with Hypnotherapy and a very high rate of success can be achieved fairly quickly.

 Andrew is also a level 3 Reiki Practitioner, Reiki is a Japanese healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being. Many have reported miraculous results.
