About Me

Ian SmithHave you ever felt stuck, battling depression despite trying countless treatments? Are you tired of relying on antidepressants 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 (NE29 6DE) has been incredibly fulfilling, but it all began much earlier.

A Childhood Fascination with Hypnosis

At around ten years old, 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 and relied on a multitude of antidepressant tablets, with little to no success. It was a dark time, and I felt trapped in a relentless cycle of despair.

Discovering Self-Hypnosis: A Turning Point

One day, a friend suggested I try self-hypnosis to help combat my depression. Although my friend had limited knowledge of the subject, the suggestion sparked my determination to explore this alternative path.

My Self-Hypnosis Journey

Intensive Research: I immersed myself in hypnosis books and watched numerous DVDs.
Practical Application: I applied the techniques diligently and experimented with what I learned.
Astonishing Results: Even with limited knowledge at the time, I was amazed at how effective hypnotherapy was in transforming my habits, behaviours, and emotions.

This personal transformation became the catalyst for my deeper commitment to hypnotherapy.
