I am a registered Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist and am passionate about righting the wrongs inflicted on children by significant people such as parents.These wrongs include the robbery of self confidence and self esteem.I am currently unqualified to deal with issues of sexual abuse though. I am particularly interested in what I call the SADIM effect. This is the reverse of MIDAS ie everything (gold)a client 'touches' turns to (lead) failure. I have a bunch of other interests such as enginering projects, metaphysics, tai chi and chi kung. I produce hypnosis CD's on self confidence, relaxation (free download)and the meeting the inner child. My website: http://www.wessexwellbeing.com , contains a lot of helpful information especially for those not able to lose weight over the long term. I offer a monthly newsletter, so if you would like to read about ducks and ducklings ( we have an ancient pond with an island in our garden) as well as topics on psychological issues ( written for the general reader), guest articles introducing other, perhaps less familiar, healing methods, log in and sign up! I look forward to 'meeting' you all.
