Registered clinical hypnotherapist. Transitions hypnotherapy combines hypnosis, coaching and cognitive behaviour therapy for rapid change.

Lesley Jefferson, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, BA hons, PGCE, DHYP, DCBH.

Hypnotherapy can help with a very wide range of problems. In fact, anything with an element of ‘mind over matter’ can be resolved with hypnosis.

However, I find more and more, my clients are asking for help with weight control, or for the symptoms of anxiety/depression.

Depending on your needs, I combine hypnosis with coaching and cognitive behavioural therapy. Clients tell me that my approach is both reassuring and professional.

And because it is such a pleasant experience, it can also be used for relaxation and stress management. I encourage all my clients to learn the simple skill of self hypnosis, which is like meditation, or mindfulness.

 

Qualifications

 

I qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis, whose courses are university accredited. I also have post graduate level Diplomas in Coaching and in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.

As a member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis, I work to their strict code of ethics.

I continue to refine the Transitions© approach through professional development, currently studying 'Challenging Obesity' with the Open University.

 

A growing passion for well being and emotional resilience

 

This passion, which absorbs me now, developed gradually over the years. An early career as a business management lecturer gave way to working ‘in the real world‘, where I spent 10 years designing and delivering leadership and management programmes for organisations as diverse as Renault Europe, Intel, Northern Foods and the NHS.

Noticing how many people were stressed at work, I began to focus attention on what promotes  well being and resilience. Alongside my hypnotherapy practice, I continue to work with organisations as a ‘well being‘ consultant, trainer and executive coach.
