ABout JAN
I have been a practising complementary therapist since 1993, qualifying as a Clinical Hypnotherapist in 1999.
I gained my Diploma and Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (LCCH). The LCCH was founded in 1984 to establish the highest standards of practice and teaching for hypnosis as a therapeutic discipline. The LCCH is accredited by the Thames Valley and Greenwich Universities, The Open University and The Royal College of Nursing. I am also a Member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH) and work within their strict code of conduct and ethics. Membership of the Society is only open to those who have acquired the requisite professional and clinical training in the major aspects of Psychology, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy In 2004 I became a Diplomate Member of the Society having fulfilled the criteria of advanced training with appropriate case studies and further training in various specialist subjects. Also, as part of this criteria I completed a dissertation entitled ‘Hypnotherapy and the Cancer Patient’. This was based on my work and experience with patients during my 10 years working in a local hospice.
As well as treating a wide range of somatic and psychological symptoms with hypnotherapy, I am also a qualified Reflexologist, Reiki Master Practitioner and Aromatherapist and can incorporate these skills, if required, to create a holistic approach to suit each individual. If appropriate I also integrate cognitive behavioural work and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) into treatment sessions.
I am a registered tutor for the LCCH helping/supporting new students with their training and I keep up to date with changing methods and expand my knowledge by attending Master Classes, further training courses and support groups.
I have obtained specialist training from experienced doctors in the field of hypnosis for pregnancy and childbirth and I run training programmes for mums-to-be who want to learn the benefits of Birthing with Hypnosis.
