Posted by billkerins in Hypnotherapy.add a comment
Hypnotherapy is a tried, tested, safe and effective form of therapy used throughout the world for centuries. The simplest example of hypnosis is ‘daydreaming’. Did you ever find yourself ‘miles away’ but being aware of your surroundings? Clinical hypnosis is like that. You are aware of your surroundings but your mind is focussed somewhere else.
I have successfully used hypnotherapy to relieve a great number of complaints – for example: Stress management – in work, social stress, personal life management (overloading).
- Sports enhancement – get rid of old habits, overcome fear, improve your performance
- Smoking – my success rate has been very high in this area.
- Feeling low – commonly called ‘Depression’.
- Phobias – spiders, flying, heights, claustrophobia, agoraphobia and many more.
- Weight control – anorexia, overeating.
- Bedwetting – common with young children and some young adults
- Confidence – we all lack confidence at times, but sometimes we need help to raise our ‘game’.
- Self-esteem – similar to the above.
- Anger management – learn easy and innovative ways to release and control anger.
- If you have an issue and would like help, then call me.
What is Meridian Therapy? February 27, 2007

Meridian Therapy is a non invasive therapy which uses meridian points on the body to assist in removing emotional issues.
I am qualified as a teacher in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), one of the more common techniques in Meridian Therapy. If you would like more information on how you might learn how to use this technique or add this very effective and simple technique to your practice, give me a call.
I am registered as an approved practitioner on Gary Craig’s website. Check it out. www.emofree.com
Origins and background.
The Chinese developed and have used Acupuncture successfully for thousands of years. Most of us have seen or heard about inserting needles into certain parts of the body in order to re-balance the ‘chi’ or energy in the body. From this, Acupressure (Shiatsu) was developed in which, instead of inserting needles, the practitioner simply applied pressure to these points in order to obtain results.
EFT is a meridian therapy – similar to acupuncture and acupressure, it works on the meridian system, but, unlike acupuncture we do not use needles. Instead, we stimulate the major meridian points by tapping on them or gently massaging them. As we tap these points we also use ‘positive affirmations’ in order to focus on the particular issue.
Here are some frequently asked questions.
Does it work ?
Yes it does, and like all other treatments it’s beneficial effects are more pronounced and immediate on some people and not so on others. What is important to remember is that it only has a beneficial effect and never a harmful one. There has never been a reported incident of harm being done to any individual.
Is it painful ?
No, it is never painful, it can raise emotions, which it is (partly) designed to do.
How long does it take ?
A session lasts about 50 to 60 minutes. Most treatments take one or two sessions to clear an issue.
Are the results permanent ?
Yes, we find that approximately 85% of our clients have experienced a long lasting benefit from EFT. This does not mean that the client will remain clear of any emotional, physical or mental issue for the rest of their lives. It simply means that the client can release particular issues from their emotional body.
What can you use EFT to treat ?
EFT has been used on issues like – phobias; depressive condition; confidence building; low self esteem; public speaking; relaxation, nail biting and many more.
