Help with Social Anxiety in Derby

Have you been looking for help with social anxiety in Derby – or do you know someone who’s looking for help with social anxiety in Derby ?

Social anxiety is also known as social phobia & is characterised by an intense fear of social situations. It results in considerable distress and in turn impacts on a person’s ability to function effectively in aspects of their daily life.

Social anxiety is a fear of being judged by others or being embarrassed or humiliated. This leads to the avoidance of a number of social situations.Clearly it can impact on your School / College / University / Work life too. Eg – where you may have to stand up in front of people and present.

These fears can be triggered by the actual or imagined scrutiny from others. This disorder often begins in childhood, and although you may recognise the problem it’s a fact that many people do not seek help despite the fact it’s clearly holding you back in so many areas of your life.

Symptoms

Social anxiety is characterised by a range of physical symptoms including excessive blushing, sweating, trembling, palpitations and nausea. Panic attacks are common. Depression can also be a problem. Alcohol or drug misuse can develop because people use these in an attempt to cope with the disturbing and disabling symptoms.

What can I do ?

Well, I’m pleased to say that in providing help with social anxiety in Derby it does respond well to Hypnotherapy / CBT techniques – so I would be confident in helping you. Normally in around 5 or 6 weekly (ideally) sessions.

Hypnosis to reduce anxiety in Derby

I’ve been providing hypnosis to reduce anxiety in Derby for in excess of 17 years now. I have helped many thousands of clients with the effects of anxiety in Derby and Panic attacks in Derby.

It’s an interesting statistic that around 70% of the population will experience high anxiety. This can lead to the highly debilitating panic attacks. Many people will of course visit their Doctor (which should always be your first port of call) and will take a variety of ‘medications’ that are available today. That said, if you’re not careful you can end up taking these for much longer than you should.

If you’ve been looking for hypnosis to reduce anxiety in Derby then clearly you’ve thought that getting to the root cause of why you’ve been feeling and behaving this way. It is of course a better option. ie. taking medication can simply mask the symptoms.

Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

As a Hypnotherapist in Derby & Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in Derby I use this methodology to help clients overcome these debilitating symptoms and lead normal everyday lives. This takes usually around 5 or 6 weekly sessions. Each lasting an hour and at a cost of £60.00 per session.

Help with Arachnophobia in Derby

Help with Arachnophobia in Derby

Do you have an irrational fear of spiders and therefore looking for help with Arachnophobia in Derby ?  This phobia is probably the most common, affecting as many as 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men. The sight of a spider can trigger a fear response, but in some cases, simply an image of an arachnid or the thought of a spider can lead to feelings of overwhelming fear and panic.

Interestingly there are around 35,000 different types of Spiders and probably only around 10 that can cause harm to humans. So generally it’s a fairly irrational fear. If you’re a sufferer of this type of phobia, as you’re aware it can cause much panic and upset within the household – and of course in life generally. Another side effect of this is that it can give your children the same fear by them seeing you terrified in this way.

Example

Many years ago I had a lady attend my clinic looking for help with Arachnophobia in Derby. Rather than do a “one off” session which will work on some types of phobia (eg. fear of flying) I actually did around 5 sessions to get to the root cause of the problem. It stemmed from an incident when she was a child when in the garage at home and found a massive spider on the saddle of her bike. Now bear in mind the lady was so scared of spiders that she would leave her 10 month old daughter on her own if there was a spider found in the same room and wouldn’t return til the spider was gone. She rang me a week after therapy had finished to say she was at the local Zoo and had a Tarantula on her hand !

So if you’re looking for help with Arachnophobia in Derby – or indeed any other phobia – why not give me a call and do something about it ? Have a look at my website www.alexanderpractice.co.uk – you can contact me via the site or

Telephone me on 07582 865 265 or

I look forward to hearing from you.

Fussy Eater Hypnosis in Derby

By

Fussy Eater Hypnosis in Derby

As a Hypnotherapist in Derby I’ve been providing fussy eater hypnosis in Derby for around 17 years. It’s surprising just how common this problem is – but seems to affect males more predominantly than females.

So how do you know you’re a ‘fussy eater’ ?

Well, as the name implies your diet is quite restricted. The worst case I have had is of a male in his 20’s who only ate dry toast.

Often it’s particular foods you avoid or food textures which is also quite common. But apart from the health aspects of having a restricted diet the impact tends to be felt more in social situations – such as family meals. Everyone else eats what’s put before them… but unfortunately you’re the one who who wont it this, can’t eat that etc. It all becomes a bit embarrassing for you and irritating for whoever is doing the cooking. Equally you tend to restrict your partner who also gets forced to stick with your diet or choice of restaurants.

As I said earlier I’ve been providing fussy eater hypnosis in Derby for around 17 years. To be honest with 99% of the population there will be foods that you will like  / don’t like. But generally people will try all types of food and make a judgement from there. So, wouldn’t it be good if you could become just like them and TRY all types of foods….

Fussy Eater Hypnosis in Derby

So, the session I carry out is a “one off” session. It lasts around 1.5 – 2 hours. Cost wise it’s £120.00 payable by cheque or CASH on the day. I will discuss with you what’s been happening, how you’ve been feeling and reacting to foods – and what you want to have happen. I’ll then carry out a session based on our discussion which will literally enable you to try new foods, to find them much more palatable – and actually enjoy them too.

What do I do now ?

Well, have a look through my website www.alexanderpractice.co.uk it will give you a good flavour of what I do. My office is based on the corner of Vernon Street & Friargate with plenty of low cost parking nearby.

You can either contact me via the website or :

Blushing Hypnosis in Derby

By

Blushing Hypnosis in Derby

I’ve been providing blushing hypnosis in Derby for over 17 years now. If you’re a sufferer of blushing in Derby you’ll understand that it’s an involuntary reddening of the face. This is normally triggered by emotions such as embarrassment or stress.

Other areas of the body – such as the neck, ears and upper chest – can also be affected. As well as causing redness, blushing can sometimes make the affected area feel hot.

Blushing – the causes

Blushing occurs when a strong emotional trigger stimulates the nervous system, resulting in the widening of the blood vessels in the face. This increases the flow of blood into the blood vessels just underneath the skin, causing your face to turn red.

Blushing can of course cause you to start to avoid social situations in case you blush – which in turn can lead to a social anxiety disorder (social phobia) or a general anxiety disorder.

Blushing can of course also be triggered by drinking alcohol or hot drinks, eating hot or spicy food, strenuous exercise and sudden changes in temperature.

What can be done ?

Well, as a Hypnotherapist in Derby who has been providing providing blushing hypnosis in Derby for over 17 years, because it’s anxiety disorder it would tend to not be suitable in a “one off” session, but rather a few. Probably 5 or 6. These are normally carried out weekly, each session lasting an hour and at a cost of £60 per session. We would work on what is behind the stress / anxiety before working on the physical symptoms.

Is it successful ?

Yes, with the caveat that there could be the occasional situation where you could blush. But when you think about it most people will blush occasionally – even me. Clearly nowhere near the amount you have always done and to the extent that it will not be a constant fear in your mind.

What do I do now ?

  •  Have a look at my website www.alexanderpractice.co.uk – you will find plenty of information on there.
  • Contact me either via the website or E : geoffrey@alexanderpractice.co.uk or Telephone 07582 865 265
  • I offer a free consultation lasting c.45 minutes which allows you to decide if it’s for you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Whichever you are – jealousy is perhaps one of the most destructive ailments that can befall us. Yes, if someone is special to you then of course it’s right to feel ‘protective’ towards them.

Stop Smoking Hypnosis in Derby

Stop Smoking Hypnosis in Derby

Have you been looking for Stop Smoking Hypnosis in Derby as a way of quitting smoking in Derby ? Well, think about this for a moment : Lung cancer has become a formidable disease, killing about 1.5 million people per year globally. Were it a disease that wasn’t predominantly man – made (ie smoking) it would be called a Pandemic and the world would be in a state of constant worry. In the UK alone c. 40,000 a year die from this disease (that’s 110 a day) and almost 80% of these cases are preventable.

Why do you do it ?

But, ok you probably did really know that – but when you smoke, you don’t like to think about it do you ? Because you don’t like to think about it you tell yourself that you like it. Maybe it’s your one bit of pleasure in life. Or everyone’s got to die sometime etc etc. On average it takes around 15 years off your life and the death is usually slow and agonising and dreadfully upsetting for your loved ones.

What about the cost, on average its £250 a month – £3,000 pa. Crazy for something that’s killing you.

What to do next

I have been a practicing Hypnotherapist in Derby for 17 years and have carried out 10,000 + client sessions – providing hundreds of clients with stop smoking Hypnosis in Derby. Why don’t you look at my website www.alexanderpractice.co.uk to see how I can help you. Cost wise it’s £120.00 for the one off session (you only need one) – and of course you save that money the moment you quit smoking in Derby.

Help with Driving Confidence in Derby

Help with Driving Confidence in Derby

As a Hypnotherapist & Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in Derby with some 17 years experience, it’s often very surprising just how many people struggle with driving nerves and are seeking help with Driving Confidence in Derby.

If you’re looking for help with driving confidence in Derby how many of these symptoms do you recognise :

  • You stick to the area / location that you know
  • The thought of travelling any distance makes you anxious – often days before the journey
  • You avoid / don’t go on holidays
  • The thought of dual carriageways / Motorways fills you with terror
  • Travelling as a passenger is equally as difficult
  • Panic attacks can occur when you go on journeys outside your comfort zone
  • You let your partner do all the driving

It’s interesting how the fear can actually become a phobia and dominate your life to the point where your life just seems to close in around you – and you end up just doing less and less. Therefore if you’re looking for help with driving confidence in Derby isn’t it time you got your independence / life back and did something about it ?

Are you, or do you know someone who is looking for help with gambling addiction in  Derby ? To be honest, when you think about it, it doesn’t matter whether you’re losing “big time” or not. You’re still losing aren’t you….

I’ve had people come to me looking for help with gambling addiction in Derby who are simply playing ‘ Russian Roulette ‘ with their family finances. And let’s face it when you lose – as surely you do in the long term then it’s not just you, it’s your wife / partner / children who ultimately suffer.  Equally I’ve had people come who are relatively wealthy and losing £thousands daily / weekly.

OK, I know you sometimes win, which sometimes seems to make it all worthwhile. But these gambling companies exist “as a business” – they’re in business to make money at your expense…and I’ve seen the lifestyles they have – again at your expense. They couldn’t exist without you losing….and you DO lose in the long run, don’t you.

OK, enough of the lecturing, the things I’ve stated above you know anyway – don’t you. So if you’re at that point in your life where you’re genuinely looking for help with gambling addiction in Derby why not have a look at my website www.alexanderpractice.co.uk to see how I can help you. It all starts with YOU.

Hypnotherapy is most certainly not “messing with your mind”, nor will it be “opening a can of worms”. Nor is it “trick” or “quack”.

Typically Hypnotherapy has been associated with Stopping Smoking, helping you to lose weight, maybe boosting your confidence a little, helping you to stop biting your nails etc. Actually I use it also as a way of bring relief from :

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Panic attacks
  • Phobias
  • Insomnia
  • Alcoholism
  • Eating disorders

Perhaps more than you had initially thought…. So if you’ve been looking for a Hypnotherapist in Derby then consider the following :
