read moreI'm Jay Dudley and I've been working locally as a Hypnotherapist and Confidence Coach for 20+ years. I love to help people break free of old habits such as smoking and overeating, so they can live their very best life. My greatest passion is helping people lift their spirits and break free of limitations, so they can be true to themselves, live life to the full, and enjoy self esteem, confidence and happiness. If so, then this is just for you. For some people a one-session "quick-fix" is all you need, but others need several sessions to get to the root of the problem, and make significant lasting change.

read moreI've been working as a coach and therapist since 1992, when I decided my 15 year career in the electronics industry really didn't excite me any more. I'd always been interested in the power of the mind, and its untapped potential. I think what really qualifies me to help you though, is that I've lived a lot of life and personally overcome most of the issues that walk through my clinic doors.

How does Hypnosis Work? Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation, a day-dreamy state, in which your unconscious mind will accept positive suggestions.

Your unconscious mind is the "control" part of your mind, which is responsible for your reactions, habits and behaviours.

Freud reckoned it would take between 500 and 600 hours of talking therapy for someone to resolve their past. A well-heeled therapist wouldn't need too many clients to make a living out of that. How times have changed!

My outcome for you would be to establish a healthy relationship with food, where you feel in control of your eating without the need for random dietary rules. For some people, a quick fix is possible, but for most we need to get to the root cause of the problem, and this can require more time. Like all animals, human beings have a primitive instinct to ensure we make it through the next famine and don't starve to death.

read moreNeuro-Linguistic Programming has been very much in demand in recent years, largely having been popularised by Paul McKenna on TV and Radio. In everyday practice, a skilled Practitioner of NLP can achieve rapid and lasting results with a minimum of intervention. Moreover, the whole process can be great fun. What is NLP? NLP is simply a collection of techniques and processes designed to assist a client in making positive changes. NLP was devised by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1960's - Richard was a computer programmer, and John a linguist.

read moreWe all hate being told what to do - whether we're 15 or 50 - and the more our family, doctor or the government tell us we SHOULD stop smoking, the more we rebel. And let's face it, scary pictures on cigarette packets don't work either. Many more people really want to stop now, and for the right reasons -because they WANT to, not because they should. Whether you stop with acupuncture, hypnosis, will power or just a wing and a prayer, nothing can magic away your cravings. Yet this combination of NLP and hypnosis, powerfully packed into a 2 hour session, is usually all it takes to stop smoking and stay stopped for good.

You may think confidence is something you're born with if you're lucky, but actually it's something you can develop and grow. They say that if you never push the boundaries of your comfort zone, your comfort zone will suffocate you. Are YOU being suffocated by your comfort zone? It reunites you with your true self.
