Focused Hypnosis

read moreTo reduce your weight you have to do things differently...you know that. That's why you have probably done Weight Watchers, Slimming World, the Atkins/Cambridge/Cabbage Soup diets but they haven't delivered the results you wanted. Maybe you bought an expensive gym membership and went once every six months. My approach is different.

It is about helping you to help yourself. Hypnotherapy can help you increase your motivation for change so you can drive yourself forwards. I firmly believe that by listening more to your body you have the ability to change. When you are able to identify emotional eating and have a better alternative in mind that is when you can begin to break the spiral you have been trapped in.

Perhaps you just don't yet know when to stop eating. Your stomach does and each time you have eaten to excess your stomach told you to stop before you felt stuffed. But you didn't listen to yourself and didn't act upon the message even if you did hear it.

I can help you to listen to yourself and act upon your natural desire to be slimmer and healthier.

Well you can change, if you want to. Quit smoking hypnosis could be the way for you to succeed.

There are many quit smoking products out there but they mostly deal with the end of the process hypnotherapy helps you to tackle the beginning.what you think and feel.

read moreSo, I'm sat in a bar at the other end of the country- on my OWN, food ordered and Rattlers cider going down nicely. I'll SLEEP well AGAIN tonight and be both RELAXED and at the same time EXCITED about the adventures ahead of me. 2weeks ago I cried at the thought of scaling a ladder; last week I climbed a playground ladder and descended by the slide; TODAY I went scrambling round and jumping off rocks coasteering!!
All this I'd say is testament to Richards fantastic work which has helped find more of 'me'. I now say 'I can'!!. Thanks Rich.
I'm recommending you to everyone I know! :-D

read moreAnyone who suffers with anxiety or panic attacks I would really recommend you go for a session or two! Completely changed my life

read moreThank you so much Rich - I passed my driving test today wooo! I couldn't have done it without you - seriously, I listened to the recordings of previous sessions every day this week and woke up this morning feeling great and expecting to pass. I'd recommend anyone who has a scary or difficult situation coming up to get help from you. Thanks again :)

read moreI recently went to Richard for hypnotherapy because I was suffering crippling nerves and anxiety when attending job interviews. It was really affecting my ability to secure jobs at the interview stage because, although I was getting the interviews following what must have been good applications, I was not managing to get the jobs.

I had three sessions and found them fantastic. In addition, Richard forwards his recording of the sessions afterwards in case anything has been missed whilst under hypnosis, and also giving time to reflect again and reaffirming what he said during the hypnosis.

The interview I attended after the last session went well and I secured the job. I cant say that I wasnt still very nervous because I was, but I managed to calm myself using the techniques Richard recommended.

I would not hesitate to recommend Richard and his hypnotherapy to anyone. If you are experiencing confidence or anxiety issues, I would say just go for it as you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

read moreI had suffered from panic attacks regularly in the past due to anxiety, it got to a point where I felt like I couldn't cope anymore. I visited Richard for an initial consultation where he gave me some tips on how to cope until our first session and even that was an unbelievable amount of help. I have had only one session with Richard and I feel as if the anxiety has near enough disappeared from my life. I finally feel like my old self again. Highly recommend, such a lovely man and so easy to get along with, felt like I had known him for years.

read moreRichard does not offer hypnotherapy for issue I need but recommended other people for me and sent me long emails next business day offering as much help as he could. I spoke to all the hypnotherapists in Sheffield when I was shopping around and he comes across the best by a mile. He's a good person who will help even when there is no sale in it for him

read moreI found Richard online and was eager to find a professionally qualified hypnotherapist. His website gave me all the information regarding his services and MOST importantly his professional qualifications and affiliations. After my free phone conversation with Richard I attended for an initial consultation where we discussed my needs and problems. I wanted additional confidence in the work place and for my hobby of singing and performing at the Lyceum. I have now finished my last session (of 3) and feel a great improvement. After the 1st session I had an audition and instead of being petrified I sailed through and got the part I wanted. At work I have been able to perform a disciplinary procedure without doubting my ability or authority and I perform better under stressful conditions. I even found the deep relaxation helped a very painful back spasm!! All in all a winner.
Richard is thoroughly professional and adapts his technique and mannerisms to match the needs of his patients.
If you're a skeptic Hypnotherapy may seem a bit "far out" when compared to traditional science and healthcare but it definitely works and proves that it really is mind over matter.

read moreI sought help from Richard with regard to anxiety and depression. I was looking for help to clear the 'chatter' in my mind so that I can more easily focus and make progress towards goals that are important to me.

I found the deep mindfulness I gained from the sessions helped to clear my mind and give me tools that I can use in everyday situations. I am more able to calm myself for work presentations and better focus on what is needed for my family.

I feel like I have tapped into the core of who I am and can now channel my inner energy for postive outcomes for me.

The recordings of the sessions were great in helping me continue my practice after my sessions with Richard and his nuturing and assertive style made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

read moreHypnosis can be a fantastic way to change throughts, feelings and beliefs. It is a natural and powerful way for some people to make personal changes happen. Even if you have tried other therapies or medications you could still find this process beneficial. Hypnotherapy is compatible with almsot all medications as well. Hypnotherapy could help you change how you feel about yourself, shift what you focus on from negative and unhelpful to something more optimistic and compassionate. This can lead to a shift in what you put in which can impact your health postively.

read moreStopping smoking is something we have helped many people with at our Focused Hypnosis Sheffield hypnotherapy practice. Getting to the point of "enough is enough" is an important stage and should be seized with both hands when it arrives. You are almost certainly reading this because you, or someone you love, wants to quit smoking and has reached that point of having had enough. Over the last few years you have probably looked at different ways to quit smoking. You have probably also tried to stop smoking a few times but it didn't work or didn't last.

I was looking for help to clear the 'chatter' in my mind so that I can more easily focus and make progress towards goals that are important to me.

read moreThis is usually from a parent. We instinctively copy our parents and this is usually a good idea. Unfortunately if you parent has a phobia of clowns then there is a chance that you will too. Many people we work with are initially worried that we will expose them to their phobia in real life. If you have a fear of spiders we will NOT bring spiders into the room and make you cope. We do not believe that this is the best way to bring about change. Hypnotherapy could help you get a different perspective on your phobia.

I recently went to Richard for hypnotherapy because I was suffering crippling nerves and anxiety when attending job interviews. It was really. I got in contact with Richard because I was struggling with confidence and anxiety around my placement as a student paramedic. I had previously been. I saw Richard during the course of four sessions to help me get my weight under control without going on some magic diet.
