The World's Most Hypnotic Couch
The World's Most Hypnotic Couch
January 2024 marked the 30th anniversary of my treating patients for a wide range of psychological and physiological issues using clinical hypnotism. I have met many wonderful people, some hideously damaged, a few dangerous and one evil. I have seen cures as close to magic and miracles as one will ever see in real life, and I’m sure some of my visitors wish they had not wasted their time or money. I cannot help everyone, but I have always been open about that and I have always tried.
Children I treated have grown up and had children of their own. A girl I treated for needle phobia as a child, acquired amazing tattoos as a woman. A woman I treated for shark phobia became a scuba instructor. A boy with a debilitating stammer became a rapper. There are so many beautiful anecdotes.
I closed my consulting room in may 2020 and said I would open it again when a year had elapsed during which I could have kept a consulting room open (free of lockdown). In the meantime, I treated patients via Zoom. Please view this page to see how it works. Although I had had patients insist on flying from Australia, Japan, Russia, America and India to see me, I had treated many others, successfully, via Skype. I began looking for a new consulting room in July 2023 and, despite being fully vaxxed, caught Covid in September.
Hypnotism in PPE can be difficult. Swabbing down consulting rooms and facilities between appointments is irksome to impossible. I have a vulnerable mother-in-law, and I’m 65 so I won’t be opening another consulting room. I continue to treat patients from far and wide, one to one, via Zoom, and have delivered more than 1.4 million complete hypnotherapy sessions to 400,000+ unique patients via Alexa (“Alexa, hypnotize me.”) If you don’t have Alexa, you might try the Mindsci Cafe
30 years is a long time to be responsible for the health and happiness of others, but I’m not done yet. Please feel free to call or write if you want to talk about what you need.
