About Me - Philip Ayres..

I have always had an interest in hypnosis and was introduced to this fascinating subject back in the mid 80’s. From there I took my exams and qualified as a Master Hypnotist, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Neuro-Linguistic Programmer. Also I am a member of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and General Hypnotherapy Register.

It is important to me that you get the very best and that you feel comfortable and at ease, and my aim is to give you this.

I have known for many years that hypnosis was a very powerful tool and this combined with other techniques that I use the results are more plentiful. My clients that I see get an experience that allows their problems which have persisted for some many years can be put right or at the very least a satisfactory resolution.

I am also a psychotherapist, which is a cognitive direction to unlock those stubborn parts of you that have plagued you for many years, and this has now become a way of thinking negatively about yourself. Thinking like this can bring about a feeling of either not knowing what or where to turn to next, from here you may then get the negative feedback to your mind from those feelings of either lack of choice or worse desperation.

I also qualified in EMDR this stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing. Again this is another tool; you move your eyes in a pattern that accesses the emotion and how you feel with what is now going on in your life. Again this too works on any level of emotion, this is a wonderful technique for those people who suffer from aggression, again this in non intrusive.

I also use EFT this stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. This is also a wonderful medium, a way of tapping your body on certain points, this combined with the meridians of your body. This method with thought of a positive affirmation can bring ease to your thoughts and swoon away a headache, back pain, also helping people suffering more sever illnesses like cancer… NOTE this is to do with emotions and not a cure, and of course you must be sure that with any feeling of a physical entity like headaches and back pain there has been either a trauma to the head and your back pain is not a slipped disc etc. On knowing that you have your own evidence, or from a doctor, and you can’t explain why this problem still persists, then this can be one of the methods to use.

I am one of the few therapists who work with children of any age, they too like us have their own real experiences and how their little minds interpret those emotions and feelings. This can range from bedwetting, anxiety, aggression etc. Our children can also wear our emotions and so it is important to know who has the problem and who is showing the symptoms. Children around the age of 14 are not really of a child brain, but they maybe immature only by their features and how they are interpreted from the outside world i.e. other people. A generalisation is around 14 years that a young adult is now sexually established. Hypnosis on younger children is not the same way for them as it is with us “adults”. Being a father and granddad and also at one point in my younger life, a “child” I use puppets to get the child’s metaphor across with a story so they can be understood by the subconscious mind. As with children and adults the subconscious mind works with metaphors, just as all our dreams are metaphors.

I have passed and qualified as a practitioner in Hypnosis and Clinical Hypnotherapy. As a member of a recognised body called the General Hypnotherapy Register, and having updates from the GHSC and GHR news letters. Which keep me informed of the latest news and any new techniques that are available. This membership adds creditability to me and is your satisfaction of being treated by a qualified professional therapist.

I have been trained by some of the best people I know of in the therapy world. These men and women have links in the therapy I use and they to have either worked on the stage and now only use clinical hypnosis. Also NLP trainers who gain work very high in the corporate world, trainers who have medical backgrounds and now work in hypnotherapy, as well as those who have been long established in doing hypnotherapy and teaching for 25 years who deal with children and teach at a wonderful high level.

My pledge to my clients is that I shall always give 100% to getting the desired outcome that you need. As you get a second chance to live a more satisfying life, and to begin to count on your happiness on your success.

I am also interested in complementary medicine, including Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Reiki, Hydrotherapy, Homeopathy, Iridology and Bowen. I have many interests including philosophy, art and many others.

"It is important to recognise in yourself when those negative experiences in your life still bother you, and that your unconscious mind is beginning to cry out for help, because if you don’t make that small investment in yourself, be sure you can deal with the symptoms that will come from your own self neglect. Whether it would show in alcohol, drugs, anxiety, aggression, smoking etc. Those people may only come for therapy when they feel they have no choice or they have become so intolerant of their problems that it is now time to do something about it. Even if you have had hypnotherapy in the past or any therapy you feel has not worked on you, it can and will work when you are ready to receive it. When you are ready to receive therapy, which by the way means “healing” then the answers or treatment will be given. So it is important that your feelings and proof of failure in the past has no part to play in your future and to know there is no such thing as failure but only “feedback”, and then you must understand that you may not have been ready in the past for therapy. But you maybe now…

My simple philosophy is that I shall treat you how I would like to be treated, and the work that we do together turns you around in as few sessions as possible. I believe that you will feel proud to recommend me to others, so that you can play a part in them being able to achieve their goals and full potentials "
