Welcome to my website. Here at Mind Matters I specialise in helping people just like you to succeed in making positive changes in their lives. I am qualified to work with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and hypnotherapy ( using Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques) which are extremely effective treatments for the problems which fall within one of the categories featured in the pages to the left - and more.
I graduated from the University College of North Wales in 1974 and began my career in Education. I taught in various schools for over twenty years, ultimately becoming a Headteacher. In 1996 I made the decision to change direction as I had always been fascinated by the study of psychology and the mind.
I knew about the amazing success of hypnotherapy from personal experience as, during my mid twenties, panic attacks began to appear regularly, and from nowhere, and totally blighted my life. 'Panic attack' is a very well known term now but certainly not then and I remember wondering what on earth was happening to me. I was extremely fortunate in that I had a very open minded GP who recommended that I should see a hypnotherapist; he even gave me the 'phone number! I had three hypnotherapy sessions and the change in my life was quite miraculous - the relief was overwhelming. Most certainly, if I hadn't been lucky enough to have had that particular doctor, and taken his advice, I wouldn't have been capable of successfully climbing the career ladder in Education or of doing many of the things that I have so much enjoyed over the years - and still do.
I am registered with the British Insitute Of Hypnotherapists and AAMET (Association for the Advancement of Energy Therapies) which ensure that their practitioners are well qualified, competent and committed to furthering their knowledge with regular professional development. I am also registered with Complementary and Natural Health Care Council and am fully insured for professional indemnity liability.
If you want to make a positive change in your life I can help you to succeed, and for problems such as phobias or wanting to stop smoking, only one session is often all that is required. A session lasts an hour-ish and costs £60. Further sessions £50.
EFT and hypnotherapy can certainly make goals, which have seemed unattainable, easy to achieve!
If you want to change something about your life, why wait? You CAN do it - and I look forward to hearing from you.
Email is the best way to get in touch with me or 'phone and leave a message.
Take care.
