helping you make positive changes
Les Waters
Clinical Hypnotherapist, DCHyp, GQHP, MSBST
Professional
status
I hold a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy (DCHyp), awarded by the United Kingdom & Strategic Hypnosis Examination Board, following extensive training with the Brief Strategic Therapies & Clinical Hypnosis Foundation in London.
The high standards of these bodies means that my qualification is recognised by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council. The Council acts as a link between the hypnotherapy industry and the Department of Health and validates the registration of individual practitioners within the General Hypnotherapy Register. They have awarded me the General Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice (GQHP).
As a practitioner, I am fully qualified, licensed and insured. I am a member of the Society of Brief Strategic hypnoTherapists (MSBST) and subscribe fully to the above organisations’ codes of ethics.
Personal background
I have some 25 years’ experience working in organisations in the utility industries. This has given me the ability to gather relevant information and analyse it - to get to the heart of problems - and then form policies and strategies to provide solutions.
As a hypnotherapist, I draw on these skills to create individual brief strategic therapies to help bring desired changes for clients. I am also used to dealing with confidential and sensitive matters, and high profile individuals.
Married, with two children of school age, I know how modern life can place strong demands on us. I am familiar with juggling the pressures of a busy career, studying and taking exams, and supporting an equally busy family life - while needing to stay positive and healthy. So I think I understand some of the challenges we have to face in our lives.
