I have a well established therapy practice in Liverpool and over the last few years an increasing number of people from the Wirral area have travelled "across the water" for treatment.  In this regard I decided that it was about time I established a practice closer to home for both myself and my potential clients.

It has taken a while to find what I considered suitable premises after discounting working from a home based office but I couldn't have chosen better than where I am currently working.

It has been two months since I saw my first client at West Kirby Osteopathy and Natural Health Clinic and I couldn't be happier.  The feedback from my clients has been hugely positive about the location and their treatment from the moment they walk through the door.

The location is ideal being opposite a train station, on a major bus route and with a car park just outside.  It really couldn't be easier or more convenient to get to.  Plus the clinic is an established centre of excellence staffed by a team of highly skilled professionals who go out of their way to make people feel at ease.  The clinic is focused on the comfort and care of the clients above all and it show.

So if you are looking for a Wirral Hypnotherapist for weight loss, smoking cessation or any other treatment contact Maria at Merseyside Hypnotherapy.  Maria is now not only a leading Hypnotherapist in Liverpool but a leading Hypnotherapist in Wirral

The most common question that I am asked when anyone enquires about the Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss Programme is "will it work"?  And I will explain that losing weight is one of the easiest things that a person can do.  In fact people are losing weight without any effort all over the world today.  Losing weight is easier than learning to drive, using a computer and passing any academic examination.  Successful weight loss isn't dependant on IQ or skill and can be accomplished by people without any formal education or knowledge of calories or diets.

So then why are we in the middle of an obesity epidemic?  Why people who are intelligent are, well informed individuals struggling with this simple act?  It's an interesting question and one that I answer in detail on the weight loss programme.  The answer to this question has a lot to do with our beliefs about our ability and how we see ourselves. 

As mentioned above I believe that losing weight is easier than learning to drive a car which requires a great deal of effort.  Although I have held my driving license for over 20 years I still remember that learning to drive was not a pleasant experience. In fact I recall it being, unpleasant, difficult, frustrating, embarrassing, time consuming and expensive.  However I stuck with it as did the majority of the people I know and they all agree to a greater and lesser extent about how awful learning to drive was.

So why do people preserver with their driving lessons because so many people do year after year and generation after generation.  How are people able to do what is required to be successful even when it is so difficult. 

Having questioned people about this matter I have discovered something that I consider interesting and significant.  There appears to be two things that drivers have in common and they are as follows:

Firstly they really wanted to drive because driving meant something very important to them.  They had a clear imagine in their mind about what they would do, where they would go and who would be with them when they went to the places they wanted to go. People mentioned that having a driving licence and being able to drive would improve their lives in very specific ways.  For example it would mean they could apply for a job that they wouldn't previously have been able to apply for.  Take their friends or girlfriend out for the day easily.  Plus people spoke about independence, freedom and choice. 

Secondly the non driver believed totally and completely that learning to drive would be inevitable after they had taken lessons.

The reason why I am writing about learning to drive is because I feel that this experience will be familiar to the majority of the people who visit this site.  It is a clear example of what human beings are capable off achieving if the goal is important to them and they believe it is possible.

Without exception all of my clients wishing to loss weight prior to commencing the weight loss programme believe that losing weight is difficult and have no clear image of what their life will be like when they are the weight they wish to be. These are the first two barriers that are overcome in the first of the three sessions.

So if this has sparked an interest and you want to hear more please give me a call or drop me a line.

I dislike making generalisation especially about people mainly because they can be by definition inaccurate and therefore useless or even dangerous.  However I can with a degree of confidence and a sense of certainty state that the majority of my clients are nervous about attending their first therapy session.  In fact some of my clients are more than nervous and I understand that it has often taken a great deal of guts on their part to make the first contact.

In this respect I want to reassure anyone considering therapy that as an experienced Liverpool Hypnotherapist I appreciate that this can be the case.  Not only do I appreciate that you may be nervous I will take responsibility to make you feel more comfortable about the process from the moment you make contact. 

You can make contact by a variety of method to either ask for more information or make an appointment and I want to assure you that I am happy to elevate any fears or concerns.

I have deliberately chosen consulting rooms in Liverpool's business district that are discrete and anonymous.  Anyone seeing you entering the building would not assume that you are seeing any sort of therapist. And when you enter the building you will not be asked for your name or have to sign in a visitor's book.  All you have to do is either ask for me by name or phone my mobile and I will be with you without delay.

Client confidentiality and privacy are two of the cornerstones of any therapeutic relationship so I can't state strongly enough how seriously I take them.  If you are considering Hypnotherapy in Liverpool you can be comfortable in the knowledge that your comfort is upmost in my mind.

Merseyside Hypnotherapy offers a full range of therapeutic services including smoking cessation and hypnotherapy for weight loss at offices in Liverpool and in West Kirby Wirral.  Merseyside Hypnotherapy is quickly gaining a reputation as being one of the leading providers of Weight Loss Hypnotherapy in Liverpool. 

Hypnotherapy for stopping smoking with Merseyside Hypnotherapy is quite a complex process because people's relationship with their cigarettes is complex.  This is the reason that I require 2 sessions of over 90 mins to eliminate their desire to smoke.

The programme doesn't focus on the reasons why a person shouldn't smoke because all smokers know this already.  As one client pointed out he could actually lecture on the reasons not to smoke possibly better than I could.  However these reasons haven't stopped him lighting up they just make him feel bad about doing so.

Most smokers face the following daily dilemma "I want a cigarette but I know I shouldn't have one".  It's not easy being a smoker and it requires incredible willpower.  Smokers are very strong minded intervals.  Weak willed individual don't stand outside in all weather often separated from their friends if in a social situation so they can pollute their lungs.

 Smoking isn't about being sociable anymore.  It's now considered anti-social behaviour so potentially the smokers who lacked commitment and the "social smokers" have now given up smoking as it became to difficult to continue.  Today's smokers are strong willed and stubborn individuals who are unlikely to do as they are told just because someone has told them even under hypnosis.  For this reason direct or suggestion based hypnotherapy will not be very effective.  Merseyside Hypnotherapy Stop Smoking Programme doesn't involve direct suggestion basically because there are better and more effective methods.  Maria the hypnotherapist is an ex-smoker and "traditional one session hypnotherapy that focussed on reinforcing what she already knew never worked.

However removing all reasons to smoke did. 

And one final misconception that I hear time and time again is that people will stop smoking when they really want to.   I would like to reassure anyone who thinks this way that is not the case.  In a smokers mind there is unlikely to be an ideal time to stop smoking as it is something they actually would like to continue doing.  Part of the therapists role is to help the client stop wanting to smoke.

The end of a relationship is always painful even if you are the person who has made the difficult decision. However that pain can be for some people nearly unbearable especially if the decision was taken out of their hands and they are still very much in love with their ex partner.

If we lived in an ideal world this wouldn't ever happen.  We would never be dumped by someone that we loved.  We would never have to deal with this level of rejection, feel this loss or have are self imagine damage in such a way.

Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world and I personally have had to deal with this situation on more than one occasion. So has everyone that I know either socially or professionally.

Being attractive, intelligent, wealthy, humorous and generous does not give us immunity.  We are all vulnerable, it can happen to us all at any time and there may not be anything we could do or could have done to stop it.

You might think that when this happens some global or karmic balance might come into play and we can have the space that we need to heal. That we are given time to lick our wounds before we have to face the world and are ex. unfortunately this is rarely the case.

Often we are required to brush ourselves down and pick ourselves up and go to work, and act like competent mature adults.  Perhaps we may be given a little leeway if the relationship was a long one and children are involved but the world in general requires us to participate as normal.  ASAP.

To make matters worse we might even have to see our ex on a regular basis and it is frown upon in work and in most social situations to burst into tears and shout and scream.  We have to behave with a level of dignity and reserve that we might not feel.

Our lives are so intertwined with the lives of others that it is normally impossible to have an instantaneous clean break.  We might live or work together, have shared friends and interests, join finances or have children.  So for many people their ex is likely to still be in their life for some considerable time.  Even if a clean break is possible our ex can still be in our heads.

As bad as this might sound it can for some be even worse depending on the reason for the break up and what happen leading to the break up.  If you are dumped for someone else perhaps someone that you know or lies and deception where involved the pain can be immobilising.

So how would it feel if you just fell out of love with your ex?  Won't that be wonderful?

Well you can!

Imagine how you would feel if you could focus all you energy on making a great life for yourself.

Well you can!

Can people really change?  I know a great many people who don't believe this is possible either with regard to themselves or to people that they know.  Rather bizarrely and seemingly by way of explanation they comment about Leopards not being able to change their spots.  This of course has been scientifically proved to be the case but what relevance does it have to people and their ability to change.

A human being even with exceptional levels of motivation is not going to turn into another animal.  We are genetically stuck being a member of the human race and I for one think this is a good thing.  Plus even with today's technology we can only alter our appearance so far. 

So in reality we can't change who we are?  Or can we?  Well we can't stop being human and there are limits to what we can do with our appearance. However does being human and they way we look define us as people?  What about our personality?  What about our behaviour?  What about intelligence?  What about what we do for a living?  What about our hobbies and interests?  In fact there are so many things that could actually define who we are in our own eyes and in the eyes of others and most of them are subject to change.

Everyone reading this article will have changed considerably from the person they once were.  In fact change for most of us occurred very rapidly as we grew from being infants into children then into young adults.  It would appear that for many change slowed or appeared to stop as we reached adulthood.  Is this when we become fully formed?  Again I know a great many people who believe that when we reach a certain age that we "are too old to change" and that people can't change because they have become "too set in their ways".

Well the bad news or perhaps the good new depending on your perceptual position is as follows:  It is impossible not to change.  That's right!  It is impossible for us to stay the same.  So why don't people change when sometimes they are obviously so unhappy with their lives?  Perhaps they like so many people believe that they can't change or simply don't know how to.

Here at Merseyside Hypnotherapy a leading Liverpool based Hypnotherapy practise we focus on "change work". Using a unique combination of Psychotherapy, NLP and Hypnotherapy we work with clients to enable them to change in a way that is right for them.

As human beings we are amazingly adaptable and are ability to learn is infinite unlike the beautiful, graceful but basically really rather limited leopard. 

Are smokers stupid weak willed individuals?  Do they not have any understanding of the health risks associated with smoking, the cost associated with smoking or how they are viewed by other people? As an ex smoker I know categorically that smokers are neither ill informed nor wimpy pathetic people with no strength of character.

In fact I would state that in the UK currently the only people left smoking are very strong willed people.  It takes a degree of self possession, confidence and determination to continue to smoke in the face of universal condemnation.  Smokers have to endure a great deal of discomfort, ridicule and blatant discrimination just to be able to continue smoking. 

It is a common sight to see people outside in horrendous weather, gale force winds and torrential rain clutching a cigarette to their mouths.  They may be outside their place of work, bar or restaurant or even a hospital.  Yes even a hospital.  I will guarantee that outside every hospital throughout the UK there will be consultants, nurses and patients smoking.  There will be people smoking outside a hospital who know in really terms about smoking related illness not as some academic concept. 

I wonder just how many times these smokers have been told to stop.  I wonder just how many reasons these smokers have been given to stop?  How many of these smokers have been bribed or threatened about their habit?  And yet they haven't stopped.

Hypnotherapy for stopping smoking is a form of suggestion therapy which in very simplistic terms means telling someone to stop smoking.  The process is sophisticated and elegant but ultimately ineffective if used on its own when dealing with today's smokers.

People who smoke in the UK are intelligent, determined people who could potentially know more about the dangers of smoking than the average therapist.  So in this respect if you are considering stopping smoking in Liverpool chose a hypnotherapist in Liverpool who understands the psychology of the smoker and understands why smokers smoke.

As an ex smoker I have spent thousands of pounds on cigarettes and although I appear in perfect health I could have still contracted one of the many smoking related illness.   I just don't know.  Was it worth it?  What pleasure did they give me?  If I had to write a 300 word blog on the positive aspects of smoking and cigarettes would I be able to do this?  Perhaps I will give it a try and let you know my results.

How do you decide on a weight loss solutions when there are a bewildering array of options available from surgical to psychological and everything in between?  It must be a daunting experience trying to decide how to lose weight in Liverpool today. Even the solutions offered by hypnotherapists to help you lose weight vary considerably.  So how do you decide?  What is the best option for you?

As a weight loss hypnotherapist I offer a programme that incorporates many different elements so that each programme is as unique as each client and their relationship with food.  Being a hypnotherapist that helps people lose weight in Liverpool is often a complex role.

However there are a number of elements that form the foundation of each programme and what I would consider essential to success.  The first of which involves building confidence and self esteem or self worth.

The hypnotherapy weight loss programme involves an investment of time, money and effort which is a major investment.  If clients can't see their own worth why would they invest?

Successful business men will only invest in a business venture or new technology because they like what they see and can clearly imagine a return for their investment.    Property developers will invest in a property for exactly the same reasons.

When people see themselves as valuable and significant in their own right it makes it so much easier for them to make good choices.  These choices will involve eating wonderful food and living a happy and healthy life. When self esteem and self worth are at peek then confidence comes easily.  So in effect once clients know they are "worth it" it's just a short step to being convinced that they can do it.

Once the foundation has been laid all the other "bricks" that make up the programme will sit so much better and stay so much longer.  The other elements of the programme can involve aversion therapy, gastric band therapy, suggestion therapy, sugar addition therapy and motivation therapy for exercise.  These individual elements on there own are very powerful but when combined they are unstoppable.

The weight loss programme isn't a diet and it doesn't involve depravation of any sort.  In fact the opposite is true.  Hypnotherapy for weight loss in Liverpool will actively encourage you to get more pleasure out of life and food than ever before.

Many clients we see at our Liverpool hypnotherapy clinic have no idea why they are scared of spiders or worried about heights. They believe that the phobia just happened or that it's part of their DNA. The truth usually lies much deeper than that - phobias don't occur without a reason or a trigger.

Phobias usually manifest because of something that has happened in the past and become embedded in the psyche. As a protection mechanism the subconscious will suppress the memory, relating it to a negative emotional state or some form of conflict. This means that the brain won't be able to deal with what has happened in a considered manner. The issue needs to be brought to the fore before you can move on.

Our Liverpool hypnotherapy clinic is well versed in dealing with a wide range of phobias, including insects such as spiders and wasps, social gatherings, heights, flying and many more. We will put you into a state of extreme calm and relaxation which will open your mind up to confront all the issues that have been present in your life, while you remain fully conscious and aware of what you are saying.

We will be able to help you confront your phobias through a structured course at our Liverpool hypnotherapy clinic. People often become afraid on an involuntary basis in certain situations, social or otherwise, and the root cause of this is a phobia - something that wasn't of their own doing.

You can break the spell through hypnotherapy. Visit us today to see the range of phobias a Liverpool hypnotherapist can treat.
