Don Ely, BA DCH DHP

Background
The whole of my working life has been spent in health related professions.  I trained in Biomedical Sciences, specialising in Clinical Chemistry.  From 1985 I held management positions in the independent health care sector.  During this period I became involved with a number of aspects of patient care including obesity, anxiety, depression and HIV issues.  I also became interested in hypnosis as a process for resolving issues that were not always resolved effectively by clinical methods.

I am accredited by the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR) and adhere strictly to their professional code of conduct.  I keep up to date by attending conferences and hold membership of special interest groups.  I am an active member of the British Institute of Integrated Medicine (BSIM).

Therapies

Hypnotherapy
This is an altered state of consciousness that results in a deeply relaxed ‘pre-sleep’ state.  This leads to a significant increase in focus and concentration, particularly on the therapist’s voice to the exclusion of other sounds. It is a very pleasant, comfortable experience and perfectly safe, resulting in warm feelings of peace and security.  You will not do anything silly or say anything unless you want to and are in control throughout the session.   The strength of hypnotherapy comes from the fact that this deeply relaxed states provides a pathway to the powerful subconscious mind and, by altering the perception of a particular activity, habit or fear, desirable changes can be achieved.

Hypnotherapy can help resolve many issues including:

  • Alleviating skin conditions
  • Building confidence and self esteem
  • Controlling pain
  • Eliminating fears and phobias
  • Ease pregnancy and childbirth
  • Managing stress
  • Reducing gastric symptoms
  • Releasing emotional trauma

Please see my main website for more details on how hypnotherapy can be of benefit.  www.donely.com

Unique benefits
In order to reduce external distraction and noise to a minimum and to create even more focus and concentration, I use a special sound system with headphones.  This leads to a greatly enhanced relaxation experience, with clients reporting improved results.   In addition, I use the system to record a CD during your first session that you can take with you to use at home, thereby creating ongoing support on a regular basis.  This means that the hypnotherapy is tailor-made to suit your individual requirement.

Areas of Special Interest

Cancer support
I have developed special packages to augment treatment regimes.  This may include coping with chemotherapy, pain or keeping to a special diet.  In addition, help is given to reduce anxiety or anger.

Children
I have considerable experience in successfully helping children overcome many issues including bedwetting, bullying, nail biting, hair pulling, sleep-walking and nightmares.

Relationship issues
I see many individuals who struggle with difficult aspects of a relationship.  A combination of counselling with hypnosis can bring about dramatic changes in the dynamic of a relationship that can lead to real fulfilment in the lives of the individuals.

Smoking cessation
I offer a highly successful program to help people stop smoking.  The program consists of two sessions two weeks apart with support of a CD recorded at the first session.  I have helped both light and heavy smokers to stop for good.  Please see my microsite www.quit-smoking-now.org for further information.
