Do Hypnosis Kent

General information

My name is Debbie O'Neill BSc (Hons) Psych (MBPsS) PG Cert (Clin Hyp),BSCH (assoc) and I am a fully qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist.

I am deeply interested in people and the power of the mind.

I work from my home in peaceful and serene surroundings dedicated to making you the client as comfortable and as at ease as possible. You will find me to be relaxed, approachable and friendly, yet extremely professional. As well as the therapeutic value, your experience with me will leave you feeling deeply relaxed and positive.

My interest in how the power of the mind can affect physical and mental health led me to study a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. This is where I became interested in Freudian theories and subsequently Hypnotherapy.

Qualifications

I completed my training as a Hypnotherapist with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (LCCH) . LCCH works in partnership with The University of West London and prides itself in the fact that it is the only training institution that offers Post graduate University qualifications in Clinical Hypnotherapy in the UK.

They maintain that their courses afford their practitioners 'distinctive recognitition ' and a prestigious market position.

I completed both the CPPD and the Post graduate certificate in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy.

Code of Conduct

To be able to practice under the LCCH umbrella , I am required to be a member of the the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH) . This is a national professional body whose aim is to promote and assure high standards in the practice of hypnotherapy. Registration demands good quality training, and ethical practice. I abide strictly by their rules and code of conduct, and I also have regular Clinical Supervision. I am also a graduate member of the British Psychological Society and hold professional idemnity Insurance.

Working with you/for you

When I work with my patients I work in a completely pluralistic manner. This simply means that I use a variety of methods to get results, and my treatments are specifically targeted and adapted to each individual patient. Every one of us is different and every one of us will respond differently to hypnosis, so rather than a 'one size fits all' approach you can be assured that your session/s will be entirely tailored to you.

The beauty of hypnosis is that far fewer sessions are required to attain results than other therapies. Usually treatment can be completed in four sessions or less, but it does depend on the nature and severity of your symptoms. My reputation as a competent therapist relies not only on the success of my therapy but also on my ethical approach to try and complete your treatment in as few sessions as possible. I will never prolong treatment for my own financial gain, but likewise I will never let you leave unsatisfied, so treatment plans are always personalised to you and are always adaptable depending on your needs.

After our initial telephone discussion (or email -whichever you prefer) I will conduct an initial face to face case study with you which will be up to 90 minutes long. During this session I will explain what hypnosisis is and how it works, gain an in depth history of your symptoms and discuss all of your concerns. Most importantly I will LISTEN to you. If there is time I will conduct a relaxation or ego strengthening hypnosis session. I will then tailor make your therapy specifically for you and advise you how many sessions you are likely to need.
