Where to Start

Hello, and welcome to our guide on how to get started.

If you're looking for help with a problem, but aren't sure where to start, or are a bit unsure as to which option to go for, you're definitely in the right place!

If you're looking for help with a particular symptom, you might want to visit our symptoms page.

Firstly, well done for even being here! - far too many people just 'live with' a problem... they feel embarrassed to talk about it, or feel it's just 'part of them' so they've just got to put up with it... so well done for realising that things can be helped, and that therapists are just people who are here to help you! :O)

A lot of people who are looking to find help with a problem, aren't always sure as to which option might be best for them, so here's where we'll hopefully clear things up a bit for you.

Meet with a Therapist

You might like to meet with a therapist for a one-to-one session (an initial consultation).

If you're within reach of one of our practice locations in North London or North Cambridgeshire, you can come and meet Paul Douglass or Denise Douglass for an initial consultation, to have a good chat about the problem you're looking for help with.

Again, the sessions aren't done as a 'quick chat'... they're full 50 minute to an hour sessions, where you can discuss your problem, and hear about the options available... again, these sessions are very informal, and very informative!

If you're in the UK, but can't get to one of our own practices, our find-a-therapist service could still help... tell us a little bit about yourself (using the form at the bottom of most pages), select the 'I am looking to find a qualified hypnotherapist in my area'option, and we'll do what we can to help you find someone in your area. This service is totally free for you to use.

Pure Hypnoanalysis

Pure Hypnoanalysis is a one-to-one therapy which has been designed to help you if you have an anxiety based problem, such as a fear, a phobia, stress, a sexual problem, panic attacks, or of course, anxiety itself.

Pure Hypnoanalysis works by resolving the root cause of the anxiety that's causing the symptom to be there. Once the root cause is resolved, the symptom will usually disappear shortly after.

It's a course of therapy, that typically lasts for 6 to 12, one hour sessions, usually held weekly.

Pure Hypnoanalysis has to be held as one-to-one sessions (i.e. it can't be done online)... again, if you're in the UK, you can come to one of our own therapy practices to meet one of us for an initial consultaion, or if you're not in our area, use our find-a-therapist service, and we'll try to help you find someone more local.

Changing Limiting Beliefs

'Changing Limiting Beliefs' has been designed to help you if your problem seems to centre around the way you think or feel about things.

Rather than being a therapy as such, Changing Limiting Beliefs is a short training course, which usually takes around 6 hours, and can help you to completely change the way you feel about yourself, about things that you do, and those things that happen around you.

You’ll learn how the astonishing power of the unconscious mind affects almost everything that you do in your day to day life.

If your unconscious mind has a tendency to feel ‘negative’ or ‘dismissive’ about something that you’re trying to do with your life, it can have a massive effect on your ability to achieve those things. It's like seeing yourself and your life through a huge, negative filter!
