My commercial background was as a senior IT project and personnel manager for over 20 years working in Dundee and Perth until 2002. I am well aware of all aspects of professional working life and how these affect people - useful experience for keeping things real and effective for my clients. Qualifications from IT - Dip. App Maths (Distinction), Member of the British Computer Society (MBCS), Chartered Information Technology Practitioner (CITP). My IT interest continues with website design, development and optimisation.
I set up HypnoPerth in 2002, working from my practice here in Perth, Scotland. Professional memberships and GHR Registration involves subscribing to a strict code of ethics and practice which is a condition of membership. Membership also has as a requirement that each therapist undertake a minimum number of hours of continuous professional development (CPD) each year. A further condition is that each Member must be insured for Public Liability and Professional Indemnity.
You can see what the various qualifications are opposite and GHR/GHSC accreditations have links from the logos below.
The main hypnotherapy focus is of course you and what you want to change about yourself - what you want and need to achieve.
I receive referrals from Perth Royal Infirmary, GPs and dentists (e.g. from Blackhills Specialist Dental Practice in Aberuthven). As examples - weight loss (gastric band and dietary change), stopping smoking, dental phobia, anxiety and pain control. I do voluntary work for Perth Association for Mental Health. A key area of interest is in anxiety-related problems, panic and phobias - everything from work-related stress, driving anxiety, fear of flying through social anxiety to agoraphobia at the extreme. However my case-load comprises many different problems and performance-improving situations. I go into these in more detail in other parts of the site.
