Why suffer in silence when hypnotherapy can provide proven relief of your symptoms?

Living with I.B.S.

Up to 1 in 4 of the general population is affected by IBS at some time during their lives.The symtoms bring not only physical problems but, with some sufferers, can contribute to existing, or even cause, emotional problems. It can even sometimes be a "taboo" subject leading to isolation and distress.

Although IBS is frequently a stress related disorder it's roots are physiological and the symptoms are real.

Many sufferers feel drained emotionally as well as physically, often life issues and responsibilities compound anxieties.They may have spent months or even years dealing with uncomfortable medical examinations and the problems of every day life.

IBS is considered medically to be non-life threatening, but the symtoms often have a severe impact and can drastically reduce the quality of life of a sufferer.

IBS and hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy has an excellent record in helping to alleviate the symptoms of IBS as has been shown by the trials carried out at the University Hospital of South Manchester, NHS funded, hypnotherapy centre, where the majority of patients benefited, often with dramatically reduced medication needs.

Hypnotherapy is a non-intrusive, safe, comfortable and cost effective treatment used alongside mainstream medical and dietry advise. In the hands of a specially trained therapist, hypnotherapy can increase self-esteem, confidence and allow the IBS sufferer to begin a journey of self improvement and symptom management. By changing negative thoughts and feelings to positive ones, and becoming emotionally equipped to move away from the symptoms and thoughts of IBS, sufferers can begin to move forward with positive changes.

A combination of medical treatments, dietary advice and hypnotherapy can bring dramatic long term improvements to the quality of life of sufferers.

Specialist treatment

Following additional specialist training, I have taken a particular interest in helping IBS sufferers. I have often experienced first hand the distress and frustration that my IBS clients feel in search of relief from symptoms which often have a severe impact on their lifestyle. I understand the need that sufferers have for understanding and an empathetic approach.

I use a gut-specific programme which usually lasts for 7 or 8 sessions over a period of 3 months. Each session lasts about 50 minutes and you receive a support recording to take home and use between sessions.

If you would like more information, or simply want to have a chat about how you can be helped, please call me on 01553 774949. You will find I am friendly, understanding and non-judgemental.

Very important - please note the symptoms of IBS are similar to symptoms of a variety of other medical conditions.You cannot self diagnose IBS, therefore I can only treat Clients that have been medically diagnosed as suffering from IBS.
