If your interested in reading more here's Adrian's journey:

I'm 47 years old and live in the market town of Hitchin, practising full time as an EMDR and Hypnotherapy specialist practitioner,, having had many positive past experiences myself with EMDR & hypnosis that changed my life when faced with absolute adversity, and when every other medical intervention had failed. I am thus a passionate, dedicated, warm & friendly, empathetic real life role model providing tangible testament to the true power of EMDR as a treatment for psychological trauma and Hypnotherapy as a complimentary effective medical therapy.

Following a severe sustained child hood trauma I manifested an intolerable fear of heights and a severe binge eating disorder which led to anxiety, obesity, unhappiness and an overwhelming sense of a lack of self-worth. As a result as an adult I strived to be a perfectionist to compensate for the hurt and angry perception of myself in childhood, almost working myself to death in order to succeed in a revered highly successful award winning business career. That only ended in a severe episode of personal and work related stress, which resulted in severe anxiety and depression. I was subsequently diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Complex PTSD) and underwent extensive counselling and therapy.

After a few months of seeing no progress I turned to hypnosis at my lowest point when all else had failed. I was astounded at the immediate, powerful and highly effective results. I was firstly cured of my fear of heights, completely - tried and tested! At a further session I was then able to immediately alleviate all the psychological problems associated with the severe stress and anxiety I was experiencing - in just one session! That same day I reverted back to being the person I always was, strong, confident, wonderful and happy.

I went on through EMDR to successfully tackle the difficult underlying diagnosis of PTSD, and in the period after I instead experienced what is termed Post Traumatic 'Growth'. After facing and overcoming so much adversity I realised I had the ability to help others address their own fears surrounding stress, anxiety and PTSD, including Armed Forces veterans of which I am one. The 1MIND organisation I have established is proud to help ex serviceman and women suffering from PTSD in our work supporting the Royal British Legion, and adult survivors of Child Abuse in support of the National Survivors Trust, working to tackle the growing issues of Mental Health - at 1MIND a real difference is being made to peoples lives daily. So please reach out and see how we can truly help you, you are no longer alone.
