What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the application of therapeutic communication with a patient under hypnosis. The hypnotic trance lets us talk directly with the unconscious mind, without the conscious mind getting in the way.
Over time the conscious mind forms beliefs which can be damaging or limiting:
- "I can't do this....."
- "I always do that......"
- "I don't deserve......"
- "I'm not strong enough to....."
In order to change we need to find a way past these beliefs, hypnotherapy provides us with that route.
Hypnotherapy can help you:
- Stop smoking
- Lose weight (including Hypno Gastric Band therapy)
- Manage pain
- Cure phobias
- Treat insomnia
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve confidence
- Relieve skin conditions
- Enhance sporting performance, particularly golf
- Treat impotence
- Fight addiction
- And many, many more......
What is Mindfulness?
We are Human Beings not Human Doings. We waste so much time worrying about what we've done or what we are about to do that we never stop to just be, here and now.
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to the present moment. A form of meditation focusing on breathing and awareness of the senses. It helps us become more aware of our thoughts and feelings so that instead of being overwhelmed by them, we're better able to manage them.
Practising mindfulness can give people more insight into their emotions, boost their attention and concentration and improve relationships. It's proven to help with stress, anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours, and can even have a positive effect on physical problems like hypertension, heart disease and chronic pain.
Anyone can learn mindfulness. You can practise it anywhere, it's simple and the results can be life-changing.

About me: Jim Dawson BA(Hons). Dip.Hyp. GQHP
Following a degree in Fine Art, I worked for many years within the commercial sector as a developer, consultant, trainer...... in fact a number of roles most of which were as dull as dish-water. The best bit was working with people and helping them to learn new things, but I never changed anybody's life in the process.
I wanted to do something that would genuinely help people, enable them to realise their potential or kick those harmful habits. And so I turned to hypnotherapy.
Now I do help people, and I can help you.
What can you expect during a session?
Following an initial enquiry I like to have a preliminary chat on the telephone so that I can begin to understand your issues. If I can help and you decide to go ahead we'll book in your first appointment. Most issues are tackled in 4 sessions which usually last about one hour each. Between 30 to 40 minutes of each session will usually be spent doing trance work, but this depends upon the issue.
Sessions are priced at £50, discounts are available when a series are paid for in advance.
Stop smoking
I am a Certificated Advanced Smoking Cessation Practitioner.
My stop smoking package is delivered in a minimum of two sessions of approximately one hour each dependent upon the individual.
Hypno Gastric Band Therapy
The gastric band through hypnosis approach to weight loss is very popular at the moment, if you are interested in this as an option, please contact me to book a session.
Hypnosis for Golf (and other sport)
Golf is a mental game, it relies as much on a player's state of mind as it does on the quality of swing or ability to read a green.
Hypnosis can help to train the golfer's mind:
- Removing tension from the swing
- Improving visualisation of shots
- Focusing the mind on the right shot (not the one into the water!)
- Letting go of the bad strokes
- And many more.....
Many professionals are also beginning to incorporate Mindfulness into their game, Tiger Woods and Justin Rose both meditate as a means of establishing that positive mind set.
In and around Deal, Kent, we have a number of fantastic golf courses, so why not come and book a round and get some golf hypnosis at the same time.
You may not be a Pro with the pressure of performing consistently to pay the bills, but how often is your enjoyment of the game (it is a game after all) affected by your state of mind.
Book a session today and find out how I can help to really enjoy your golf.
This same approach applies to so many other sports. Performance has more to do with state of mind and a winning mentality. Hypnosis can really help to make this an unconscious activity.
