About me
I have been helping people through hypnotherapy since 1980 and today provide confidential online hypnotherapy sessions by Google Meet to clients throughout the UK and beyond.
Over many years in practice, I have helped people from all walks of life with anxiety, confidence, fears and phobias, unwanted habits, sleep difficulties, stress and many other personal challenges. Every person is different, which is why my approach has always been based upon listening carefully, understanding the individual and tailoring the therapy to their particular needs.
Although based on the Isle of Wight, my practice is no longer limited by geography. Online sessions through Google Meet allow you to receive hypnotherapy comfortably and privately from your own home, wherever you happen to live.
My hypnotherapy training began in 1968 and has continued throughout my professional life. I am a Certified Master Hypnotist (C.M.H.) and Certified Hypnotherapist (C.Hyp), hold a Diploma with the National Council for Hypnotherapy and am a senior member (SQHP) of the General Hypnotherapy Register. I am fully insured and DBS checked.
Before becoming a hypnotherapist, my working life included banking and service as a Police Constable with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary. I am also a family man with five children and seven grandchildren. Those many years of professional and personal experience have taught me the importance of listening without judgement and treating every person as an individual.
My many five-star Google reviews and client testimonials reflect the experiences of people I have been privileged to help over the years.
If you are wondering whether hypnotherapy could help you, you are very welcome to contact me for an informal and completely confidential conversation about what you would like to achieve.
Your welfare is my concern.
Warmest wishes,
Den

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy. In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers. A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC). Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level. All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members. There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
- Trichotillomania
- Achalasia
- Fear in many of its facets

Additional information
Fee for two bookings is taken prior to advising session dates and times. Further sessions are charged at £60 each. There is an opportunity to go onto my website and purchase a relevant MP3 or CD to accompany your sessions. The repetition, with the suggestions on the recordings, is very beneficial to the improving condition. There is ample time to discuss progress at each session.

I am very flexible with regard to the times you are able to attend. That is one of the great advantages of Skype, because I work from my home office I can manage almost any time.
Further information
I have worked by Skype, preferably, (or Zoom or Whatsapp), since Covid prevented home visits and have found it equally successful in its application. I was previously sceptical about its validity but, within a very short time, I realised the equal effectiveness and its easier application for clients who can work from anywhere where the conditions are suitable. Preferably, peaceful, uninterrupted, comfortable and confidential for them. With a good wifi connection. I have numerous reviews by Google on my website, so please check me out thoroughly before you book. Warmest wishes Den
