Start Living Today Cognitive Hypnotherapy and Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) in Southampton
Welcome to Start Living Today Southampton’s premier hypnotherapy practice run by Lenny Deverill-West.
Gone are the days of the black and white film characters with swinging pocket watches that some how put people into a trance. I use a new and effective brand of Cognitive Hypnotherapy that utilses the lastest developments in Neuro Science, Positive Psychology and Neuro-linguistic Programming to help you break unwanted habits, reduce stress, overcome phobia and fears, lose weight without dieting, gain confidence, beat depression and much more.
How Hypnotherapy can help you
Stop for a moment and think about what in your life would you change if you could? and just imagine what your life would be like, seeing what you would see, hearing what you would hear and feeling what you would feel………….If you’re like most people you probably allowed yourself to experience what that would be like for a split second and then thought ‘yeah right’. This is an example of the kind of barriers hypnotherapy can help you overcome so you can get what you want.
What hypnosis is used for?
Stop Smoking save money and lead a healthier life
Weight loss, lose weight without dieting by changing your thoughts, feelings and beliefs about food.
Overcoming Depression and Anxiety symptoms using effective relaxation methods and therapeutic techniques that improve the way you think
Treating Panic Attacks and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) incorporating a modern understanding of how these conditions occur to reverse the effects.
Stress, improving the way you think to reduce stress and improve your life
Control and get rid of unwanted habits e.g. Biting Nails, Negative thinking using NLP and Cognitive Techniques
Sports Performance, improving sports performance by eliminating psychological barriers to get the winning edge over your competitors
Overcome Fear of Public Speaking, using powerful associative conditioning techniques and hypnotic techniques that change the way you think about public speaking so you can perform the way you want.
What is Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy is the perfectly safe use of the natural state of trance, it’s a bit like day dreaming, or when driving a car and finding you have no recollection how you arrived at your destination.
Everyone experiences trance states on a daily basis and by inducing one of these relaxing states using Cognitive Hypnotherapy, your unconscious mind can be reprogrammed to change all kinds of issues.
Does Hypnotherapy Work?
People often ask does hypnotherapy work, and the truth is no one can guarantee a 100% success rate, yet Hypnotherapy has been passed several trials for irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, backache and has received support from the organisations below.
“Hypnotherapy is supported by more scientific research than any other complementary therapy”. (The Which? Guide to Complementary Therapies, 2002).
On April 23, 1955, the British Medical Association (BMA) approved the use of hypnosis in the areas of psychoneuroses and hypnoanesthesia in pain management in childbirth and surgery. At this time, the BMA also advised all physicians and medical students to receive fundamental training in hypnosis. (Source Wikipedia)
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) provides guidance and makes recommendations to the NHS, said the following in relation to people suffering with IBS and Hypnotherapy.
“Hypnotherapy and/or psychological therapy should be considered for people with IBS” (Link to NICE Report)
Why Choose Cognitive Hypnotherapy?
You might be thinking why I should choose Cognitive Hypnotherapy? Cognitive Hypnotherapy is different from traditional or clinical types of hypnotherapy which tend to use set ways of treating conditions.
‘Cognitive Hypnotherapy’ uses a basic understanding of the brain and it’s interactions with people’s individual thought processes. This method focuses on treating individuals as oppose to the problem that a person may have been labelled with.
This small difference in it’s self moves people away from old ways of thinking and begins to open the door of possibility in your life.
A Bespoke Approach To Hypnotherapy
As a Cognitive Hypnotherapist I know each person’s perceptions and experience are different so I don’t use any prepared scripts or one size fits all treatments. I understand that
for consistent results a bespoke approach is needed. I prefer to listen careful to ‘what is
currently going on’ for a person and what they would like to change so I can create a tailored targeted treatment to produce excellent results in the minimum amout of time.
How Much Does Hypnotherapy Cost?
My Cognitive Hypnotherapy sessions with you cost £50. The first usually lasts for 90 minutes, and subsequent ones 60-75 minutes. My guarantee is that, after our first session, if either of us doesn’t think I can help you, the session is free.
Cognitive Hypnotherapy is reassuringly priced because it tends to work quicker than other therapies.
Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy
I don’t charge any extra for Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy sessions because I treat every client that comes to my Southampton Hypnotherapy Clinic on an individual basis, and stopping smoking is no different.
Also, as well as helping you lead a healthier life, hypnotherapy for stopping smoking offers great value for money as most people recoup the cost of the treatment within a couple months of stopping.
Professional Hypnotherapy Standards
I am registered with the National Hypnotherapy Council (NCH) who are a reputable organisation with professional standards.
As member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy I adhere to their strict code of ethics that cover standards such as client welfare, confidentiality, service, therapist skill level, advertising and general conduct.
Hypnotherapy & NLP Training
I have trained professionally as an NLP Practitioner with the UK College of Personal Development (UKCPD) and gained a Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy at the home of Cognitive Hypnotherapy with The Quest Institute. I continue to train with some of the best trainers within the industry, so I am current with the latest therapeutic approaches.
