Hypnotherapy at the Cheltenham Holistic Health Centre

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a valuable therapy with which to release past trauma and decondition established habits. Hypnosis enhances peopleÕs sense of control over what may seem to be insurmountable problems. The goal of hypnosis is to help you to improve your life by learning new skills for managing your thoughts, feelings and reactions to life events.
A Stop Smoking package includes a free back-up session which can be taken within the month.

Human givens
The human givens approach to counselling offers effective, practical and fast help for people who are depressed, anxious, phobic or suffering from trauma, addiction, anger disorders or relationship problems. It draws on the elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal & neural techniques which international studies have shown to be consistently effective.
Christine fully subscribes to the Human Givens Institute code of conduct and promises to respect your right to confidentially and privacy. Christine runs an outcome informed practice - which simply means that she takes steps to measure the effectiveness of her work. She uses ORS/SRS measures. Both of these scales have been developed by the Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change (ISTC).
