Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy
|
You have the Magic Wand and I have the Fairy Dust HypnotherapyWelcome to my Hypnotherapy page where you will find out more about Clinical Hypnotherapy, the range of conditions I work with and how to book etc.
I specialise in Hypnobirthing and Psychosexual Therapy and also work with clients who are looking to gain control of their eating habits and eat healthier foods and/or lose weight. |
Some common reasons that clients will book a session with a hypnotherapist include the following:
Anxiety, depression, sleep issues, stress before examinations and interviews, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), pain management for conditions such as osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, fear of flying, other fears and phobias, confidence for sporting events, general confidence building, relationship issues, gambling and other addictions, stopping smoking, building self-esteem, OCD, fear of failure, enhancing concentration, reduction of high blood pressure, improvement in the immune system, tolerance of chemotherapy medication, anxiety after a heart attack, relaxation and trust for dental work and minor surgery, to promote recovery from major surgery and dealing with unwanted separation and divorce.
As you can see the list is lengthy and hypnotherapy has come a long way since the research in the 1950’s when it was officially approved by the Bristish Medical Association.
During the initial consultation Renee will discuss with you your general medical health, and what you are seeking as your goals. She will gather personal information on your lifestyle and explain to you what is involved in hypnotherapy sessions. She will also discuss with you the likely number of sessions for your own particular circumstances - apart from Stopping Smoking which is usually a one-off 2 hour session. She will also discuss the cancellation policy and confidentiality.
Renee is registered with the Data Protection Act.
Depending upon why you are seeking therapy Renee may give you homework tasks in between sessions. Within her sessions Renee also permits the recording of the actual hypnosis sessions on your hand-held device, so that you can benefit from listening to them again in your own time.
Sessions may be weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending upon individual circumstances and your choice.
How long is a session?
A session normally lasts between 1- 2 hours depending upon the work being done. Fees charged do not vary for the length of an individual session.
HYPNOTHERAPY FEES
A session is £60 except for stopping smoking which is £145.
If during the initial consultation it is agreed that multiple sessions are booked, Renee will offer a discount on bookings made and paid for in advance.
Hypnotherapy is rarely available through the NHS even though the NHS advocates the use of hypnotherapy for certain reasons.
Renee has received referrals from the Lothian NHS Sleep Clinic although the clinical director was unable to achieve funding for her to receive payment directly from the NHS.

Hypnotherapy for Children
|
Children are usually more responsive to hypnotherapy than adults and Renee offers hypnotherapy for a range of childhood issues. All children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult throughout the session.
Bedwetting, separation anxieties, sleeping problems, being bullied, learning and exams are among some common childhood reasons for hypnotherapy. |

Psychosexual Therapy
|
We can assist you in overcoming many of the sexual difficulties that are becoming more prevalent these days. Renee is listed in www.sexualstress.com
It is a fact that sexual difficulties increase stress, and stress contributes to sexual difficulties, so the cycle goes on and on... It is truly a vicious circle that can cause needless upset, hurt and misunderstandings. |
But you don't have to put up with it because, in most cases, the situation can be greatly improved, sometimes beyond all recognition. Very often the three cousins - guilt, shame and embarrassment, cause an increase in stress and can make it difficult to seek a therapist.

Psychosexual Therapy Testimonial
"I found Renee after searching tirelessly through all of the hypnotherapists and psychological therapists in the Lothian/s. What really attracted me to her was that she was the only therapist listed in Scotland qualified through the Essex Institute and listed on www.sexualstress.com as a Psychosexual Therapist.
At the first appointment it was brilliant, quite demanding but not in an awkward way, Renee made me feel very comfortable, not intimidated at all. It was a huge relief to be able to discuss freely what my life WAS like. She listened, she questioned, she even challenged me but it was fantastic and she helped me to realise that I did not have a sexual disorder but just an alternative lifestyle that I wanted to explore more than I had ever done before.
I continued to visit Renee and each time I left feeling massively better than the previous time. Friends and family can see the new confidence in me and I am so looking forward to a new life and it’s all thanks to Renee." - Paul. M
Weight Control
|
The subject of weight control is conflicting and disheartening for many people who have spent long periods of time struggling to lose weight and maintain their health. For decades the media informed us that it was all about calories in and calories out, a simple equation.
It is not that simple. |

Genetic Inheritance
There are many factors which contribute to obesity which include:
So, ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL.
Hypnotherapy for weight management really does need to be tailor made to an individual clients requirements. It also takes real commitment from the client to stay in therapy, following advice for some time to “see” the goals being achieved.
All that said, I am willing and able to assist clients with their weight loss including supporting psychologically on confidence, image, stress and anxiety.
Whether to fall into the category of the following list of types of eaters, or not, consider arranging an initial appointment to discuss possible therapy geared to your own individual needs.
Comfort eater, Reward eater, Loss of Love eater, TV dinners, Vegetarians, Private eater, Boredom Binger, Overeater - whatever it is, get in touch!
The sessions range from be one or two to deal with portion size or can run for a full 12 months for complex eating/emotional symptoms.
As with other reasons that clients attend therapy sessions, I can offer discounts for long term therapy.
