Hypnosis for Health

The website for Market Harborough based clinical hypnotherapist, Dr Robert Davison

Welcome to Hypnosis for Health

Hypnosis for Health is based in Market Harborough and provides hypnotherapeutic services to the town, surrounding areas (such as Kibworth, Great Glen, Lutterworth), Leicester and Northampton.

Hypnotherapeutic techniques can be applied to improve health - both in mind and body. Mental and physical health are often interwoven so it is important to take a 'whole-person' or holistic approach to health. Deciding upon an appropriate hypnotherapeutic approach requires an appreciation and understanding of the linkage between the various aspects of a person's health.

For example, consider someone who is overweight or smokes and wants to lose weight or stop smoking. But no matter how hard they try they simply cannot lose weight or stop smoking. Why is this? It may that they over-eat or smoke when they are anxious - but are not aware of this connection. To effectively bring about losing weight or to stop smoking requires a knowledge of their underlying anxiety.

As a qualified therapist I am able to identify linkage between emotion (such as anxiety) and behaviour (such as over-eating, smoking) and use this knowledge to the patient's advantage. It is for this reason that I spend time in the first session taking a detailed personal history of the patient.

Many of the 'drivers' of our behaviour are in the unconscious mind and so are out of our conscious awareness. That is why a conscious decision for weight loss or stopping smoking can often fail - the conscious decision does not take account of our powerful unconscious drives which so radically effect our behaviour.

Hypnotherapy, in the hands of a skilled therapist, can access these unconscious drives and re-program them so that they work for you, not against you.

I am formally qualified and experienced in both hypnotherapy and counselling. Thus, I am able to draw upon a wide range of experience enabling safe and professional treatment.

I trained with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (lcch.co.uk), gaining a Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis. I am a member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis and abide by their code of ethics (bsch.org.uk). In addition, I have a Diploma (with distinction) in Counselling from the University of Leicester.

I offer a free 'no obligation' 30 minute consultation. This provides an opportunity for us to meet and for me to determine how hypnotherapy may be able to help you.
