Carl Bridgman Hypnotherapy Leeds West Yorkshire

Hypnotherapy NLP Counselling EFT and Life Coaching Treatment 
 
Put aside any stereotypical men with pendulums or Little Britain characters. You'll be surprised at how informal and relaxing each session can be. Before any treatment is given I'll need to take a case history of your problem or condition or what you'd like to achieve. This is because I will need to tailor the treatment for you personally.  If you would prefer it for the first session - with the exception of group therapy you can bring along a friend or relative.

Most  people day-dream, and if you've been totally absorbed by a film or book or driving on 'auto pilot' then these are all very similar states of mind to an hypnotic state.  The difference is that Hypnosis is the key which can allow you to channel and direct your unconscious mind to achieve positive goals or a desired result.  Hypnosis is a natural, drug free pleasant state of deep relaxation where by the conscious mind is 'stilled' which then enables communication with the unconscious mind to take effect.  Although sometimes mistaken for the sleep state, in fact a heightened state of awareness is often achieved which enables suggestions to work powerfully for your own good.

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)  Neuro refers to the neurological system and the way we use our senses in order to translate our experiences into thought processes.  Linguistic refers to the way we use language to make sense of our experiences.  Programming refers to the series of steps we take to achieve a specific outcome.  NLP is a method based on the premise that we all have within us the skills and resources to facilitate a change or achieve a specific outcome.  It is a model which enables behavioural excellence to be achieved.

The 'Person Centred Approach' to Counselling enables the 'individual' to explore a problem or alternative ways of dealing with it.  It's 3 main core values are Respect, Empathy and Genuiness.

The origins of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) go back over 5000 years to Tibet and later China and Japan, being based on the same Energy Meridians and points used in Acupressure and Acupuncture.  Simple tapping techniques are taught, which are combined with modern knowledge of how the mind works to  create this beneficial therapy. 
   
Life-Coaching draws inspiration from various disciplines including Psychology, Counselling and Sociology.  The approach offered embraces some or all of the above therapies depending on the needs of the 'individual'.

"Hypnotherapy and EFT have helped me stop biting my nails, sleep better, manage my anxiety and as a result have improved my confidence and enabled my outlook towards life to be much more positive. Now I also practice self relaxation which keeps me much calmer."

"Initially Hypnotherapy helped me with my shoulder pain. It also helped me with my outlook towards life. As a result I don't get as stressed as I used to and my pain has considerably diminished." Rachel, Churwell.
 
"I had no idea what to expect from Hypnotherapy.  Since beginning my sessions I feel as though I have discovered a whole new me.  It's made me see myself and my life in a completely new positive way which has begun to make every single day exciting."  Sarah, Beeston
 
"I suffered from 'Dartitis'  (an inability to release the dart I was holding) for four years.  I tried hypnosis with an open mind and found that after four sessions my game improved considerably...,"   David, Beeston
 
"There have been some subtle changes to my life since the therapy which have had a big impact.  As well as direct help I have found the range of tools and techniques which were taught to be invaluable in helping me reinforce my confidence in everyday life."
Mohammed, Morley
 
"Carl helped me with my fear of spiders. I was especially scared of big spiders. If there was one in a room I would scream and get my husband to get rid of it. Even though they're still not my favourite creature I respect them and feel comfortable being in the same room as them now".  Jane, Birstall
 
"Carl's sensitive nature and self-help techniques taught me how to 'chill out' and I passed my GCSE exams with excellent grades."  Sarah, Headingley
 
"I came to Carl as I was in need of help due to the stress caused by an acrimonious divorce. The divorce had gone on for over a year and I felt that my confidence and self belief were starting to be eroded. I like to think that I did know how to get myself out of the hole that I found myself in, but I definitely needed assistance in order to do it. I therefore found that I related very well to Carl's sessions, being familiar with many of his messages and also totally in agreement with them. Over a period of weeks, I found that the sessions reinforced my own thoughts of what I needed to do and gave me the tools that I needed in a practical sense to implement those actions. I found this process to be quite natural and very effective. After a series of sessions Carl himself indicated that he thought that I had got myself back on track and did not need further regular sessions unless circumstances changed. I was impressed with this professionalism and the fact that I was discharged once my therapy was complete."  David, Roundhay
