We've moved to Hanover House, Hanover Street

Well its been a while since I ve written on my blog, however, I will be posting more often to keep you all up to date with what has been happening with my practice, general news about Hypnotherapy, NLP, Coaching and Psychotherapy. Here are a couple of things that have happened and are happening at the moment, the first thing to tell you all is that we have moved from 88 Rodney Street to Hanover House. We listened to a number of our clients and their comments regarding our previous office and decided to move the practice to the 5th Floor, Hanover House. We have been here a couple of weeks now and have settled in really well. Our clients can expect a warm welcome from the reception staff here and we will be developing our new office over the coming months, I will keep you all posted. The Transformation Hypnotherapy website is in the process of being updated and will include my new list of qualifications, one of which is a Certificate in Professional Coaching. Although I ve not really advertised my service as a Coach, apart from a small page on my website, I have combined my unique management skills, my NLP qualifications and now my coaching certification to ooach a number of Executives, Heads of Department and Business Owners over the last year or so. However, my coaching skills are not just limited to Business Coaching. I am combiniing my skills and experience to help a number of people wanting to achieve for themselves. One of the most popular services both Jane, Jane Ezra Personal Training and myself have been working on is a combined weight loss package. The package includes Personal Training, Weight Loss Hypnotherapy and Coaching - We've had some truly amazing results! If you would like to know more why not give me a call on 0151 201 8167 or email me - neilfoster@transformationhypnotherapy.co.uk. Over the next 6 months, I will be extending the range of services I offer to my clients, again I will keep you posted as and when they are beginning to happen.

Looking Forward to Christmas?

What does Christmas mean to you – a joyous time to be spent with family and friends, or a complete nightmare that you can’t wait to be rid of for another year?

The media and television portray it as a joyous time, but for most people it can be a nightmare. Cold dark nights, busy shopping and getting ready, the pressure of looking good and socialising at parties, family arguments, unable to afford the latest toys for the kids. Not a nice scenario.

And then January comes immediately after that. The cold dark nights are still there, the summer holidays feel a long way off, the family arguments aren’t patched up yet and the credit card bill comes through the door…

Is it any wonder that it can be a therapist’s busiest time of the year?

A therapist obviously can’t do anything about your financial situation or awkward family members, but good mental and emotional health can help you cope with anything that may come up. Some of the problems experienced at Christmas are actually due to underlying issues such as low self-esteem, SAD, lack of confidence or general anxiety. And they can be dealt with.

So be nice to yourself this year. Take some time to look at what causes the problems, either by yourself, with a trusted friend or a therapist and think about how to deal with them. Think about what causes the problems in the run-up to Christmas, the event itself and afterwards. A therapist can also help you to think about, and identify, what the problems might be.

Christmas doesn’t have to be a nightmare and there’s lots of helpful advice about. You can give yourself the greatest gifts possible - peace of mind and a little happiness - and there are plenty of people who can help you to achieve it. All you have to do is ask, but beware of therapists offering guarantees, as I pointed out in Unethical Practitioners Claiming ‘Guaranteed’ Cures.
