Sleeping Disorders
According to Rachel Moss, Lifestyle writer of Huffington Post UK, If you struggle to get out of bed in the morning, you’re not alone.
Almost half of British women (43%) say they are not getting enough sleep. In fact, 45% do not feel well-rested when they wake up.
The results are part of the ‘Reclaim Your Sleep’ survey of 4,100 UK adults, conducted by YouGov and supported by the Sleep Apnoea Trust Association (SATA).
Insomnia is the most common type of Sleep Disorder. It is the loss of the ability to sleep and is caused by a wide variety of things including stress, jet lag, a health condition, the medications you take, or even the amount of coffee you drink. Insomnia can also result from mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.
Hypnotherapy can help overcome sleep disorders.

According to Psychologist Anywhere Anytime, Confidence is the trust or faith that you have in yourself and your abilities. Realistic feelings of confidence and positive self-esteem affect how you think and act, how you feel about others, and how successful you are in life. Having self-confidence does not mean that you can do everything. Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met, they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.
According to NHS Choices, Self-esteem is the opinion we have of ourselves. When we have healthy self-esteem, we tend to feel positive about ourselves and about life in general. It makes us able to deal with life’s ups and downs better.
When our self-esteem is low, we tend to see ourselves and our life in a more negative and critical light. We also feel less able to take on the challenges life throws at us.
Difficult life events, such as serious illness, Stress or a bereavement, can have a negative effect on self-esteem.
Ways to improve low self-esteem:
Recognise what you are good at
Build positive relationships.
Be kind to yourself
Learn to be assertive
Start saying 'no'
Give yourself a challenge.
Hypnotherapy can help boost Self Confidence and Self-Esteem.

Weight Control
There are many reasons why individuals want to reduce weight. This could be: to live longer, feel fitter and healthier, have more energy, look younger, look and feel good and confident about yourself, peer or social acceptance, limiting beliefs or even just to prove to yourself that you can achieve a goal you have aspired to for a long time. Whatever the motivations are, many will do anything to achieve their goal. Usually they would try different diet programs such as Weight Watchers, Slimming World or calorie counting. They may join a gym or even go through surgery. But oftentimes, these different types of solutions are unsustainable, therefore fail and can be very frustrating.
So what else do you do when everything else fails? Hypnotherapy can help you change the way you feel and look at food. Through the power of positive suggestions, you can condition your subconscious mind to change your thinking patterns and gain control over cravings. And It’s all natural and without medication.
I offer 3 different programs for weight control:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a condition that can be extremely debilitating. According to Faecal calprotectin diagnostic tests for inflammatory diseases of the bowel; NICE Diagnostics Guidance (Oct 2013), IBS occurs in 10-20% of the population in the UK, but prevalence is thought to be higher than this as many people with the disorder do not seek medical advice.
The symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, bloating, lethargy. These symptoms can also be aggravated by eating. The condition can seriously affect sufferers' quality of life and finding treatment can be difficult.
Stress aggravates IBS although it doesn’t cause it. Suffering from the condition itself can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety, in some cases negatively affecting many areas of your life. It may cause some people to change their job or leave work altogether.
Hypnotherapy can help manage IBS and greatly improve your quality of life.
Here in the UK the use of hypnosis to stop smoking has been acknowledged by the British Medical Association as the most effective help available to those who are addicted to smoking.
