My name is Richard and I could be your hypnotherapist. If you are looking for hypnotherapy in Sheffield and you want to work with me then chances are you will want to know some details about me to help you decide I am the right Sheffield hypnotherapist for you.

You might be wondering what my qualifications are to be doing what I do. I have the following:

Licensed NLP Practitioner (Certified by Society of NLP)

I gained my NLP Practitioner qualification in 2015 through studying in London with Dr Richard Bandler, the co-creator of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). Dr Bandler is the person who taught Paul McKenna many of the things he knows.

Diploma in Neuro Linguistic Programming (Dip NLP)

The Dip NLP has been a fantastic introduction to the power of NLP and I am looking forward to expanding upon this

Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD)

The HPD is widely accepted as the gold standard within hypnotherapy

Diploma in Hypnotherapy (Dip H)

The Dip H perfectly compliments the HPD and further enhances my understanding of hypnotherapy

Certificate in Discursive Empowerment (Cert.DE)

A great 4th qualification which brings together many elements of my other qualifications with an extra something

Diploma In Advanced Smoking Cessation (Dip. ASC)

This Continuing Professional Development course tied in very nicely with my personal experience as a smoker for 13 years between 1997 and 2010 and my work with clients since then.

Hypnotension Certified

This Continuing Professional Development training focused exclusively on high blood pressure and how in many cases it can be reduced through hypnotherapy

EMDR Diploma

This Continuing Professional Development training focused on a technique called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming. This approach can be very useful for bringing about change, especially with phobias and anxiety.

Parts Therapy Diploma

This Continuing Professional Development training focused on a technique called Parts Therapy. This approach can help people find a better alternative to a situation by negotiating with themselves to find better possibilities.

Further Information

As a hypnotherapist I have undertaken many continuing professional development (CPD) courses to make sure I stay on top of new techniques and developments in the field. I hold professional indemnity insurance & public liability insurance. (Certificates available on request)

My style of hypnosis is about being supportive, positive and modern in my approach. It is designed to help you to develop the skills that are already within you to change how you think or feel about your issue. I tend to save aversion based therapy as a last option as I don’t believe this style is as effective or as powerful as the positive/optimistic style.

Over the years weight related clients have made up 70 to 80% of my cases and as a result it is the one issue that I am most experienced in helping people address. On a forum someone once said to me “How do you know what it’s like being fat? You have never been over weight.” That is true but I don’t think personal experience of the problem is always an advantage.

If you have a brain tumour that needs surgery you wouldn’t insist that your surgeon has also had the same kind of brain tumour would you??
