Using Medical Hypnosis and Medical Mind Training ( MMT ) I treat medical problems in children and adults. Some people come to me for help having tried conventional medicine.
They may have been given a diagnosis but have not found relief. Others are being treated conventionally but use medical hypnosis as an extra complementary part of their treatment.
Hypnosis is being increasingly recognised as a powerful medical tool.
It is now the treatment of choice for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and there is exciting evidence coming through of its effectiveness for Anxiety and Panic and Depression.
My work as school doctor has also made me aware of its value in children and adolescents ranging from problems such as Eczema and Asthma through to those stressful exam years with Exam Nerves and Sleep Difficulties. Other problems known to respond well are Psoriasis and also Pain. Medical hypnosis is helpful for Pain relief in Childbirth. It can also be a useful tool to help some symptoms of the Menopause. Medical hypnosis and mind training are very different to stage hypnosis. The patient is always in control and works in partnership with the doctor. It often involves several sessions. Audio CD's of my MMT course are used between sessions. I studied Medicine at The Royal Free Hospital, London University and qualified as a doctor in 1975 (MRCS). I initially worked in General Practice spending some time in Canada. I stopped work when I had my three children returning to re-train in Community Paediatrics and now work part-time as a school doctor. I became interested in hypnosis having used it on myself both for dental work and for childbirth. I was most impressed at how effective it was. I therefore underwent training from The British Society of Medical and Dental Hypnosis Society - Scotland (BSMDH) with whom I am a member. | ||||||||
