James Holmes – MIAPH (Acc) D.Hyp (Adv) B. Ed LTCL

Hello and welcome.

My name is James Holmes and along with my business partner Sue Peckham I am a full time professional Hypnotherapist and Hypnoanalyst.

Since qualifying as a Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist I have been in practice in Fareham and Southampton, helped countless clients overcome phobias, fears and anxieties, as well as helping people weight issues and to stop smoking, something I am very passionate about.

I hold an advanced diploma in Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis and am a member of the IAPH based in Cambridge.

In the year 2000 I was presented to Her Majesty the Queen and I was awarded a special millennium award for services to the teaching profession. During my time as a teacher I felt more and more that many children were unable to create and maintain their own self worth and their own ‘locus of control’. I found that I was not able to help these children who lacked the tools necessary to achieve their full potential within the state education system. As a result of this frustration in 2004, after thirteen years as head of music in a Southampton Secondary School I gave up my career to pursue an interest I had long held in the workings of the mind, and in particular Hypnosis. A decision I have never regretted.

It was whilst I was a teacher that I wrote and published several musicals. These musicals are now performed all over the world and on occasions I am invited to the opening nights, something I take great pleasure in.
In January 2009 I became very sick and after and several months of tests I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Over the following months I began to get steadily worse, finding it difficult to walk and along with extreme fatigue I experienced a host of symptoms ranging from dizziness, and worse of all difficulty in concentrating due to what I called a muzzy head (it’s a bit like being drunk permanently).

After my neurologist suggested I immediately start taking the drug interferon (I had previously had three episodes of MS in less than six months) I made the decision that I had to get myself better. I then began to put into practice all I had learnt about the mind, not allowing myself to feel negative and to manage my thinking well. Over two years later I am now completely symptom free and in the best health of my life. As I write this (Jan 2011) I am commencing a twelve week fitness programme, and am once again looking forward to the Sport Relief six mile run in March.

I believe that with the right guidance and right techniques we all have the potential to overcome adversities in our lives, from conditions such as depression and ME/PFV, to illness and disease. We just need a little help sometimes and someone to show us the way, and that’s what gives me the most pleasure when I work with clients.

Along with Sue I am committed to helping people achieve their true potential, whether it being overcoming a fear of phobia, or perhaps overcoming some limiting belief or adversity in their lives. Whether it being stopping smoking (something I have an extremely high success rate for helping people achieve) or losing weight, if change is possible then I will certainly help my clients facilitate it. That’s why I have the best job in the world.

Feel free to contact me by either calling 0800 970 4776 or emailing me at info@jamesholmes.co.uk. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sue Peckham – MIAPH (Acc) D.Hyp (Adv)

Hi, I’m Sue Peckham and along with my business partner, James Holmes I am a director of Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre.

I love my work as a full-time professional hypnotherapist and hypnoanalist and I have never looked back since qualifying as hypnotherapist with the HCB in 2004. Since then I have continued to study and keep up to date with developments in the world of hypnotherapy and particularly hypnoanalysis. I have achieved advanced and accredited status within the IAPH and have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) certificate.

I am able to help my clients to permanently resolve the underlying cause of the symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, lack of motivation and many other emotional difficulties with Pure Hypnoanalysis which is only practiced by members of the IAPH.

Following years of being overweight and unsuccessful dieting , along with James, I developed the unique ‘Easyloss’ weight loss programmein 2004, lost 4 1/2 stone, and have subsequently helped 100’s of my clients to successfully lose thousands of lbs in weight and keep that weight off permanently. I am passionate about ensuring my clients get the results they want in the shortest time possible.

In the last 2 years James and I have also added our specialist ‘Virtual Gastric Band Surgery’ to the list of therapies available to help our clients with obesity problems.

I also specialise in the treatment of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia nervosa and obesity in both adults and children.

I have an extremely high success rate in helping clients who have sought my help for the symptoms of ME, CFS and PVS and strongly believe that the right help can result in a permanent resolution of these conditions.

I am able to offer my clients a choice of suggestion therapy or hypnoanalysis or Challenging Limiting Beliefs Training so can ensure that every client I treat gets the very best therapy for their symptoms in a caring, professional and non-judgemental environment.

Please feel free to contact me at anytime by phone on 0800 970 4776 or by e-mail at info@hantshypno.co.uk or info@suepeckham.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you!

Jo Avery – DHyp MIAPH

My name is Jo and I’m a qualified and professional hypnotherapist specialising in hypnoanalysis and suggestion therapy. After developing a keen interest in psychology, hypnosis and hypnotherapy I studied for the Successful Hypnotherapy diploma with the IAPH (International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysis). Since qualifying I have become a practicing member of the IAPH.

I believe strongly in ongoing training and personal development so regularly attend advanced seminars in pure hypnoanalysis, hypnosis, personality types and their associated thinking styles as well as holding an up to date CRB check. I am able to offer my clients suggestion therapy to assist with stopping something they don’t want to be doing or starting something they do want to do. Pure hypnoanaylsis is exclusively offered by IAPH members and is the most effective treatment for removing the root cause of any symptom forever. Our unique training programme ‘Changing Limiting Beliefs’ gives you the power to make the changes in your life that you really want to make.

I am privileged to have the skills and the opportunity to work with so many people wanting to make improvements and changes to their life. I receive a tremendous amount of satisfaction from seeing individuals overcome difficulties they thought they were stuck with for life and becoming the person they were meant to be inside and out.

I am happy to be able to offer a free initial consultation to all clients considering hypnotherapy or CLB training so please call me at anytime on 0800 970 4776. Come into meet me at Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre in Whitely, Fareham for a free chat.
