Gavin Roberts
Psychotherapist in Stowmarket

Hi and thanks for taking a moment to read my profile.
I've been in private practice for over 20 years and have an office in Stowmarket and offer online hypnotherapy as well.

I was first drawn to hypnosis when, after just two sessions with a hypnotherapist, a ten year problem I'd had disappeared. This prompted me to train as a hypnotherapist myself.
You can read more about this in my free e-book on my website.

Please read through my profile below or find out more about hypnosis and the way I work by visiting my website www.human-spirit.co.uk

Background & Psychotherapy Qualifications

I spent 12 years working for Social Services, helping people with mental health problems and learning disabilities before first qualifying in Professional Hypnotherapy in 2001 with the Midlands Institute of Hypnotherapy.

I then went on to gain an Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Integrative Psychotherapy with the School of Analytical and Cognitive Hypnotherapy (SACH) at Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford, from 2004 to 2007.

I am continuing to develop my skills with on-going training and supervision with the Human Givens Institute and Uncommon Knowledge.
I am also trained and qualified in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and am a registered Hypnotherapy Supervisor.

I am registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register, the largest governing body for hypnotherapists in the UK and am fully insured.

Approach to Psychotherapy & How I Work

I believe that most of us are sleep walking through life, carrying limiting stories and negative beliefs about ourselves based on what we learnt or experienced years ago. We are enslaved by our history.

Negative conditioning still affects the way we relate to people today and how we perform, all based on old patterns of experiences. In other words, we are already hypnotised, held captive by the past.

If you choose to work with me, my job as your therapist will be to help you out of the trance you are already in (such as anxiety, fear, lack of confidence, shyness, depression, whatever). These are all trance states and not who you really are!

I believe that hypnosis is the fastest and most reliable way of changing negative, symptomatic trance states and out-dated beliefs because, rather than just trying to change the way you think, hypnosis changes deeper, instinctive patterns in the unconscious mind. It's not a case of positive thinking but something much more profound, based on how the brain actually processes information.
