Paul Hancocks
About me
Paul Hancocks is a solution-focused hypnotherapist dealing with a wide range of issues ranging from phobias and anxiety to anti-smoking and other addictions.
The emphasis is on helping people resolve their problems as swiftly as practicable. That said, some issues will take longer to tackle than others.
The aim in the consulting room is to provide an upbeat atmosphere within a structured environment.
Modern techniques are used and progress is reviewed as we go along.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with

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.
