Have you ever felt stuck battling depression despite trying countless treatments? Are you tired of relying on anti-depressants that offer little relief? Do you wish for a natural way to change your habits, behaviours, and emotions? If these questions resonate with you, let me share my story.
The Spark That Ignited My Journey
My name is Ian Smith, and I’m a professional hypnotherapist based in North Shields, near Newcastle upon Tyne. Owning Quays Clinic in Royal Quays Business Centre (NE296DE) has been fulfilling, but it all started much earlier.
A Childhood Fascination with Hypnosis
At around ten, I watched a stage hypnotist perform on television. The experience was mesmerising. I remember trying to hypnotise my brother with a swinging watch, believing I could tap into the same mysterious power. While I failed, that childhood curiosity planted the seed for my future career.
From the Armed Forces to Overcoming Darkness
Life took a challenging turn after I left the armed forces. I began to suffer severely from depression, relying on a multitude of anti-depressant tablets with no success. It was a dark time, and I felt trapped in a cycle of despair.
Discovering Self-Hypnosis: A Turning Point
One day, a friend suggested I try self-hypnosis to combat my depression symptoms. Although my friend had limited knowledge, this suggestion sparked my determination to explore this alternative path.
My Self-Hypnosis Journey
- Research Intensive: I immersed myself in hypnosis books and watched numerous DVDs.
- Practical Application: I applied the techniques diligently, experimenting with what I learned.
- Astonishing Results: With my limited knowledge, I was amazed at how effective hypnotherapy was in changing my habits, behaviours, and emotions.
This personal transformation was the catalyst for my deeper dive into hypnotherapy.
Becoming a Professional Hypnotherapist in North Shields
Driven by positive experiences, I dedicated my life to helping others overcome their struggles through hypnotherapy.
My Education and Training
I committed to mastering every aspect of hypnotism:
- Hypnosis Training Course: Attended in County Durham, North East England.
- Certification: Completed the practitioner course with a distinction in clinical hypnotherapy (Distinction D.Hyp).
