About me

Some hypnotherapists focus on "solutions".
They choose to focus on the solution, and ignore the problem.
"Where do you want to be?" rather than "how did you get here?"
This is the type of hypnotherapy most people know - hypnotherapists who focus on solutions without looking at causes.

Have you ever had a car that leaked oil?
The quick and easy solution is just to put more oil in.
And that'll work...for a while.
Until that new oil leaks out, too.

So when you break down on the side of the motorway, the recovery guy is going to tell you the cold, hard truth.
You should have fixed that leak.
You should have replaced that oil sump and got a new oil filter.
You should have looked at the cause of the leak, rather than focused on a quick solution.

My name's Vic, and I can help you.
I originally trained in hypnotherapy.
I learnt all about how to help people relax and imagine nice things.
But then I realised how limited hypnotherapy can be.
Sure, it's relaxing - but what if you open your eyes and the problem is still there?

If relaxing could really get rid of your anxiety, your stress, your extra weight, your phobias...you wouldn't be reading this now.
You'd have relaxed them all away, all by yourself.
For some people, and some problems, relaxing isn't enough.

So I trained in other, more advanced techniques, too, so I could help people that relaxing and imagining nice things didn't work for.

Ask yourself: if your car breaks down, do you want your mechanic to have a single solitary spanner, or a whole van full of equipment?

Exactly.

I am not the therapist for everyone.
Some people don't want to change.
They want to see a hypnotherapist so they can say, "I've tried everything, and nothing worked!"
I know how to spot those people, and I don't work with them.
I'm not interested in validating their excuses.

But I might be the therapist for you.
Maybe you don't want to be sold a quick solution.
Maybe you that life is more complicated than that.
Maybe you are tired of being sold quick fixes by people who don't understand that if you don't tackle the cause of the problem, the solution will never last.
Maybe you are looking for significant, lasting change.

Training, qualifications & experience

People often don't actually want to know much about what certificates I have. They just want to know if I can make them better and if I'm any good at what I do. And I am very good at what I do - you can see testimonials from my clients on my website at www.fantasticday.coach.

But some people do want to know about qualifications. And that's good! It gives me a chance to tell you about all the smart stuff I do.

I trained to become a cognitive hypnotherapist with the prestigious Quest Institute in London. That gave me a diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy, a Hypnotherapy in Practice diploma and a Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner qualification.

For people who are interested in letters after names, this all means I can use DipCHyp, HPD, NLP(Prac.) if I want to confuse people with my email signature. I'm also a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists, which means I can stick MFHT in there too, but sometimes that just looks like I hit some random keys by accident.

That "weird eye thing" that I do with some of my clients? That's a technique called Integrated Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and it's an advanced version of EMDR. It's great for removing fears and phobias and unwanted feelings quickly and easily. I was lucky enough to learn this from its creator, Andrew T Austin.

The "freaky hand thing" that I will often do with my clients is a technique I learnt from the world famous therapist, Bob Burns. It allows me to deal with that part of your unconscious mind that is behind your problem. It's incredibly powerful, and generally surprises and delights clients with its effectiveness. Occasionally, it freaks them out a bit.

I've also trained with the Mike Mandel Hypnotherapy Academy, and the UK Hypnosis Academy, who devised a technique called Kinetic Shift. This is very useful for people who have suffered trauma.

When it comes to coaching, I've studied with Stephen Gilligan and Robert Dilts, who devised Generative Change Coaching. Both Mr Gilligan and Mr Dilts have written groundbreaking works about how words affect our thoughts and feelings, and how we can use words to change our lives (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). My Generative Change training was some of the most uplifting and healing training I've taken, and I love using it to help my clients break through barriers.

Sometimes, I get the opportunity to carry out more spiritual work. If you've come to see me and "stepped back into the body of your mother", or met your spirit guide, you've experienced just some of the Shamanism techniques I occasionally use. I studied Shamanistic practices with psychologist and self-styled modern medicine woman, Christa Mackinnon. Whilst these techniques aren't something I perform often, it's useful to have them there for when I need them.
