What can be treated?


	Increasingly, I believe that hypnotherapy can be applied to almost any emotional or physical problem with some degree of a positive outcome. Steven Lane


	Over the years, I treated a myriad of problems with a high degree of success. Common emotional problems which I have found respond well to hypnotherapy are stress,phobias, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, low self esteem, low confidence, generally feeling down, bulimia and some other eating disorders (anorexia less so--unless the client recognises the problem), post traumatic stress disorder, consequences of childhood sexual abuse and other forms of abuse, compulsive behaviour (not to be confused with obsessive behaviour), shyness and blushing, fear of flying, fear of public speaking, fear of spiders, exam nerves, insomnia and many more. Please note: I do not treat psychotic illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia) See clinical hypnotherapy for more information about the treatment of emotional problems


	I have also worked with clients suffering from physical Illnesses and problems These include migraines, back problems, asthma, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, poor eye sight and others. In many cases, we discovered emotional causes underlying illnesses, and by releasing the emotional causes, there was a corresponding change to the illness. I have also been honoured to work with cancer and aids patients, using a combination of hypnotherapy and Buddhist healing meditations. See hypno-healing for more information on the treatment of physical problems


	Hypnotherapy isn't just about sorting out problems. It is equally effective at enabling you to do things better or more effectively, or even to learn completely new behaviours. Top sportsmen and businessmen use hypnosis and NLP for success. See hypnotherapy for success for more details


	Some clients are interested in working on a more spiritual level. Often they will trying to change deeply rooted behaviour of understand their lives or the purpose of their lives more clearly. Some wish to know about their past lives. In such cases I will use transpersonal hypnotherapy, which is client centred and honours the spiritual beliefs of the client. I have a special interest in this work. See transpersonal hypnotherapy for more details.


	Suffering from stress? No longer able to cope? I can teach you techniques from self hypnosis, meditation, EFT and NLP to help. See Stress management training for more details.
