Hypnotherapy in Slough for Stress

Promises, Promises

How many promises do you make to other people? In a day, a week, a year?

Our society is built on promises, it seems to me. You promise the council to recycle, the government to pay your tax, the school to send your kids every day, your partner to love and honour, your friend to call, your pet to feed it. Last one is a really good idea, or so my cats tell ...

Hypnotherapy in Slough
Why Failure Can Be Good For You

I was reading a blog last week about knowing when to end a project, and it reminded me of one of the most widespread problems I see with clients: when to decide that something has failed.

No-one is perfect and we all fail at something: driving test, a relationship, a job. It’s not the failing that is the problem though – it’s how we perceive it: as something painful, embarrassing maybe.

Bad feelings associated ...

Hypnotherapy For Anxiety Slough

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

Have you ever lost sleep to the worry monster? Those dread feelings in the dead of night that drag you out of sleep, with brain working overtime on the ‘what if’ of the tomorrow.

And it can happen during the day too. No matter how hard you try and focus, the thoughts and feelings can creep in, making you feel out of control.

For some of you, there are very real reasons to be anxious, especially when unemployment, or uncertainty o...

Want To Improve Your Confidence

Want to Improve Your Confidence?

How are your confidence levels today?
Would you like some tips on how to improve your confidence?

I ask this because it seems to me that confidence levels generally are not constant – and depend on what you are doing. You may have something that you are good at and quite like doin...

Your Beliefs and You, or How I Failed Maths 5 Times

Chris Bantock — Sun, 15 May 2011 22:00:00 +0100

I’ll let you into a little secret- I failed my maths ‘O’ level. Not just any old failure, this was the M&S of failures, - 5 times in all! Yes, I took the exam 5 times and got the same miserable fail grade each time.

I got quite good at failing it, really! Did the same exam paper (virtually) revised in the same way each time and made the same mistakes.

In NLP we call this ‘if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got’. Worked for me!

Bullying - has it happened to you?

Administrator — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 11:18:15 +0100

I was on BBC Radio berks today talking to Esther Rantzen about bullying – and for once, not just as an expert, but sharing my own experiences.

Bullying is very common, and I learned that although I experienced it a lot in my working life, the roots were in childhood – being bullied at school.

Esther explained that she understood that if you act as if you are going to be bullied, then chances are you will be – how right she is. In therapeutic terms, we can ...

Success Without a Degree?

Success without a degree

A leading women’s weekly magazine is writing a feature about women who’ve made a success of their life without doing a degree.

We’re looking for a woman in her mid 30s to 50s, who had a child when she was young and and was unable able to go to university.

Despite this, did you go on to make a success of your life? Maybe you worked your way up the career ladder and went to start your own business?

It will be a very p...

Fear of Flying? Hypnosis & NLP Can Help!

Chris Bantock — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:25:57 +0100

Using Hypnotherapy and NLP to Resolve Fear of Flying

Lets get one thing straight about fear of flying: just knowing the stats on how safe you are doesn’t make you feel safer!

I speak from personal experience, because it was having a fear of flying that got me introduced to NLP and hypnosis. I hated flying!

Flying is one of the safest ways to travel, so why do some people have such trouble with it, and what can be done to help?

Raw Fear

Are you running towards your goal or away from your problems?

Chris Bantock — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:10:01 +0100

I went to a really good talk last week given by fellow Quest graduate Stuart Norman on ‘Happiness’.
So powerful was the talk, I have been singing ‘Happy Talk’ from the film South Pacific every day in my head since!
He gave us a really good quote, made me think:
‘Are you on a journey to happiness, or on a journey of happiness?’
We all like to have goals in life. Humans tend to like knowing where we are going. Goals about weight loss, money, career, and relationships, whatever we need t...

The Power of 3 and 7

The Power of 3 & 7 in Marketing and Relationships

If you use networking groups to grow your business, then you may be aware of how you can turn up to meetings, month after month, and then suddenly, someone will turn to you and say, ‘ What is it you do again? I really need that!’

Or if in your relationship you want something to happen and have mentioned it a few times, and your partner doesn’t seem to be listening. Then just when you begin to get fed up, they say ‘Oh ...

EFT - yes it's weird, yes it works!

So, how are your New Year resolutions going? January is a long month, isn't it?

It's been a few weeks since Christmas, and all that turkey, spuds, pudding, more turkey.

You may know someone who's been trying to lose a few pounds in weight, you may even want to do that yourself.

Most people begin with good intentions...then the month drags on, life goes back to normal, and you forget why you were bothering.

And of course, bec...
