Hello! I am an experienced clinical hypnotherapist based in Leeds, offering sessions both face to face and online.

In view of the corona virus, I am currently working with clients exclusively online. If the idea of doing a counselling or hypnotherapy session over the internet is new to you, it is actually quite straightforward and works very well. See below for more information.

My current areas of focus are anxiety and phobias, stress management, life coaching and stopping smoking. Over the years I have helped people with all kinds of problems including stopping smoking, assorted phobias, fear of flying, bereavement, exam nerves, public speaking and confidence building.

I use a range of approaches depending on what will work best for my client: hypnotherapy; Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP); mBit coaching; Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Havening Techniques and BrainWorking Recursive Therapy. You can find out a lot more about me and the way I work by visiting my website www.rogergilbert.co.uk

I am very happy to discuss the help you are looking for and the help I can offer, so please feel free to email me or call me by telephone. I offer a free no-obligation 20 minute consultation when you can find out more about me and how I work.

I am based in Alwoodley, North Leeds, and in normal times it is easy to get to by car and public transport from the centre of Leeds. If you are travelling by car there is plenty of parking available.

Online sessions:

There are a number of video conferencing platforms. I use a platform which does not require you to download any software and is very easy to use. However, I am also able to use all of the usual video platforms such as Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, WhatsApp as well. If you are uncomfortable with technology, I can help you.

Havening techniques are particularly helpful for anxiety and phobias. To read my article on havening, click on the "havening" link in the articles section of this website.

I send out a free email newsletter every month or so giving information and tips on hypnotherapy and things you can do to help yourself. You can subscribe by pasting this URL into your browser: http://eepurl.com/bHqJFX

Approach to BrainWorking Recursive Therapy & How I Work

Other than for stopping smoking, my sessions last an hour and a quarter and in that time we will discuss the changes you want to make and I will do my best to help you to achieve them.

You are in charge of how many sessions you have, and how often you have them - I do not expect you to sign up for a set number of sessions. I have clients who see me for one or two sessions, clients who see me for a number of sessions over several months, and others who I see for a session every year or two when something crops up. I am happy to discuss with you at any time whether you are getting what you want and what you would like to get from further sessions.

If you are looking for help to stop smoking, the way I do it, stopping smoking is a one session "treatment" lasting about two and a half hours - which gives me time to find out what motivates you and to tailor the session to your needs. The price includes a free "top up" if needed within a month.
