Hypnotherapy is therapy that utilises hypnosis: as simple as that! Therefore it is important that a hypnotherapist is properly trained, as Fiona is, in therapy as well as being a competent hypnotist.
Fiona is the co-founder of this model and the author of a book entitled “Motivational Hypnotism” and a course that teaches the model to other hypnotherapists.
Motivational hypnotherapy is mostly used in cases where a client is wanting to make a change, or to achieve a goal. Examples include:
· Smoking cessation
· Weight Control
· Career Goals
· Performance Enhancement:
· Sports
· Learning
· Creativity
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
This model uses theories from both cognitive and behavioural psychology to address issues of thought and behaviour. Cognitive behavioual therapy is the treatment of choice for many issues within the NHS. We offer this, with the added power of hypnosis making this a very effective process for a wide range of issues including:
· Anxiety and panic attacks
· Fears and phobias
· Depression
· Medical issues
· Study skills
· Confidence issues
· Sleep
Analytical Hypnotherapy
Sometimes clients are unsure of why they have a particular problem or cannot achieve a goal. It can then be useful to use analytical age regression techniques to have a look back and discover what occurred in the past that has lead to the current situation. There are a few critical factors in analytical hypnotherapy:
· Causes are often in childhood, and re-examining them with your adult mind can help resolution
· You may or may not already be aware of the cause; even if you are you may not realise all the factors involved and analysis can help you get a clearer more complete picture
· There is no need to “re-experience” bad times: it can be as though you are simply observing
Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe. There are no harmful side-effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled Hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent.
Hypno-psychotherapy is an extension of hypnotherapy into the realms of psychotherapy, based on integrative theories and is utilised for deeper problems than would be addressed by someone purely qualified in hypnotherapy.
Coaching is a formalised means of one person helping another to achieve their hopes and dreams, and to fulfil their potential. Many of us spend too much time existing, and not enough living. We often find it difficult to know how to get where we want to go, and even to know where we want to go. Coaching can help.
Your coach will assist you to gain clarity (if you need it) as to your goals. What do you truly value in life? What and who do you truly want to be? From this point, your coach will guide you, support you and motivate you in your journey towards meeting your goals.
Goals may be on many levels:
· career· home
· family· friends
· finance· activities
· other personal achievements.
Goals may be small or huge, vague or precise. Whatever you bring will be what your coach will be helping you with: you will not be told what your goals should be!
Counelling is a word that is often misunderstood. There is a difference between having a discussion, giving information and counselling.Counselling is a process whereby the client is encouraged to explore their thoughts, feelings and experience in order to resolve issues and move forward productively.
The counsellor is there to listen, understand and assist with the process. Often the process of simply unburdening oneself to someone who is interested, but not involved, can be very therapeutic! It can make a pleasant change not to be judged. However, this is not all. Counsellors will also work with you to examine reasons for situations and to explore possible avenues for your future.
Counselling can be used for:
· dealing with current problems
· dealing with the past
· planning for the future
· personal growth

In most forms of therapy it is mandatory for therapists to have regular supervision. This involves them discussing their cases with a qualified supervisor, with the purpose of ensuring that the therapist is offering the best possible service to their clients.
Supervisors can often add an extra dimension to therapy by highlighting patterns of work that the therapist might have been unaware of, and assisting with potential problems.
Fiona Biddle is a qualified hypnotherapeutic supervisor, and also is committed to receiving her own regular supervision.
Currently Fiona has vacancies for one to one supervision for either hypnotherapists or hypno-psychotherapists and in group supervision (2nd Monday at 10am and 2nd Wednesday at 6pm: no more than four in a group)
Training: I also provide therapeutic training through the UK Academy of Therapeutic Arts and Sciences and the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy .
