As therapists we each bring a compassionate, personable and unique approach and a range of special interests.
Nick Bray, ADPR Acc. Hyp, PNLP
Hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro linguistic programming) have helped me in many areas of my life such as becoming a non-smoker, overcoming depression, anxiety, and allowing me to let go of past events that were both energy draining and exhausting. I have been actively involved in personal development for over fifteen years, and enthusiastic about learning more
about human nature to enable me to help others and likewise, this helps me to grow as a human being. I am passionate and determined to help others overcome obstacles and problems, guiding them to discover their true inner potential.
With a solution focused approach will help you break free of self-limiting beliefs and making successful lasting changes.
My experience of life's ups and down's and continual self-improvement, has given me the ability to successfully help dozens of other people to overcome their problems.
I feel it's important to have a gratitude for life, even when life seems dark there is always something to learn from these periods in life.
My approach is to focus on the outcome that you want, and make it happen.
Gez Bray, BSc Psych & Soc (Hons), DHP Acc.Hyp, GQHP
My fascination with the mind lead me to study Psychology and Sociology at SouthBank University in my 20s. Whilst in the last decade Positive Psychology, Neuroscience, Personal Development, Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy have been my focus.
My own life experiences of overcoming abusive relationships, fears, drug addiction, depression, bereavement, anxiety and the menopause, have given me so much treasure that I am rich with insights and understanding that help me to be a better, more empathetic therapist with the deepest respect for you, and whatever you bring into the room.
With a background in devising abuse prevention and recovery programmes, education, business, therapeutic mindfulness and teaching meditation.
I can help you in a really friendly, safe, and supportive way, and it is your uniqueness that will guide the way, because there is always a solution that suits your values, your needs and your beliefs.
I have found a career that I love, and am having amazing success transforming lives using all of my skills, experience, warmth and creativity.
Together we can create the lasting and measurable change that you want.
Training
My Advanced Hypnotherapy training was delivered directly by Stephen Brooks, who was trained by Milton Erickson. ad Virginia Satir. Brooks was the first to bring Erickson’s teachings to the UK and Europe in the seventies, and is considered a world authority on the therapeutic use and teaching of hypnotherapy.
I was trained by Richard Bandler, the co-founder of NLP, and became a Licensed Practitioner. He developed most of his skills from Milton Erickson, widely regarded as the “father of modern day hypnotherapy” and Virginia Satir, widely regarded as the 'Mother of Family Therapy'.
