Hypnosis is a natural and healthy way of helping you bring lasting change into your life.

Just imagine looking back on yourself in 6 months time and seeing how delighted you feel to swiftly change those unwanted behaviours, conquer your fears and turn your life around.

It’s time to discover the new you!

There are a lot of misconceptions about what hypnosis is and how hypnotherapy works. However, rather than rely upon the stereotypes of movies or the antics of Stage Hypnotists, why not discover for yourself how effective and pleasant an experience it can be?

My name is Graham Old and I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, offering a caring, calming and modern approach to hypnosis in Northampton and throughout Northamptonshire. I have used hypnosis to help people resolve their fears, sleep problems, anxieties and stress. You can also use my services to discover how effectively solution-focused hypnotherapy can help you quit smoking, control your drinking, overcome sleep problems, help with anger-management and increase your self-esteem.

I am based at the Abington Health Complex, Northampton, within easy reach Bedford, Buckinghamshire, Corby, Daventry,  Earls Barton, Higham Ferrers, Kettering, Milton Keynes, Peterborough, Rushden and Wellingborough.

Hypnosis uses a completely natural state of mind, similar to daydreaming and what Athletes call “the zone”. In that frame of mind, the power of the human mind can be accessed to enable you to quit smoking, lose weight, overcome fears, phobias, anxiety, panic, eliminate negative habits and emotions, build self esteem, enhance performance, and much more.

At Solutions Therapy, we can help you achieve a balance between your body and mind. You can then begin to live that happier, more satisfying and peaceful life that’s just around the corner.

Autogenic training is a relaxation technique developed by the German psychiatrist Johannes Schultz and first published in 1932. The technique involves the daily practice of sessions that last around 15 minutes, usually in the morning, at lunch time, and in the evening.

During each session, the practitioner will repeat a set of visualisations that induce a state of relaxation. Each session can be practiced in a position chosen amongst a set of recommended postures (e.g. lying down, sitting meditation, sitting like a rag doll, etc.).

The technique can be used to alleviate many stress-induced psychosomatic disorders. Schultz emphasized parallels to techniques in yoga and meditation. It is a method for influencing one’s autonomic nervous system. There are many parallels to progressive relaxation.

In addition to being a general relaxation technique, autogenic therapy is used to help overcome psychological problems, as well as to control the symptoms of many physical disorders:

AIDS symptoms
Addictions
Aggression
Anxiety / panic attacks / phobias
Arthritis
Asthma
Bladder disorders
Cerebral palsy
Depression (mild/moderate)
Diabetes
Eating disorders
Eczema (atopic)
Epilepsy (frontal lobe)
Glaucoma
Headaches / migraines
Hypertension
Irritable bowel syndrome
Long term pain
Muscular pain
Sleep disorders / fatigue
Stress

In 2001, the Department of Psychology at the University of South Alabama studied 30 children between the ages of 7 and 18 years who suffered from migraines. The frequency of the migraines was reduced in all cases. In fact, six months after receiving autogenic training, 50% of them were completely free from symptoms.

In 1992, Dr Ann Bowden conducted a survey of 196 patients who had attended autogenic training at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital. 144 said that their symptoms had improved, 49 said that they had stayed the same; 3 said they had got worse.

Autogenic training may not be recommended for those suffering from diabetes, hypoglycaemia or heart conditions; it is also not suitable for some people who have a history of psychiatric problems. You are advised to consult your GP first.

It’s well-known that hypnotherapy is a proven way to lose weight and quit smoking. So, what better way to treat yourself to a quick and effective treatment that could literally change your life?

A recent report, conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center and the University of California-San Francisco, found Hypnosis to be particularly helpful for would-be quitters who reported a history of depression. Statistics show that hypnotherapy is twice as powerful as other methods methods – like nicotine gum or patches – and 10 times more effective than trying to quit on your own!

Ben Affleck recently confessed that he had followed in Matt Damon’s shoes in seeking hypnotherapy to quit smoking. Affleck recalls, “You sit in, like, a Barker lounger (chair) and he (hypnotist) sips water and just talks to you for an hour, and explains how nicotine is poison.

“All of a sudden, you thought’ ‘This is asinine that I’ve been doing this to myself for all these years.’ “My last cigarette was on November 10th, 2005…I feel a huge difference in my health now that I don’t smoke. I feel like I’m in better shape than I was five years ago.”

Our Quit Smoking treatment takes from 1-3 sessions, with many clients conquering their habit in just 1 visit. So, what have you got to lose?
