My name is Gavin Elson and I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, focusing on solution-focused treatments for ailments such as anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, and behavioural change. 

In the current climate, and the fast-paced modern world we live in, it's very easy to get swept up into the hectic pace of life, with a never-ending to-do list, responsibilities pulling you in all directions, and a seemingly decreasing control over your own life, thoughts, and ability to maintain balance in your mind, and outer world. 

The good news is that there is a way out. All of these feelings are almost completely down to perception. That is not to say that your feelings of worry, anxiety, fear, or panic, and not valid. They absolutely are. Life is challenging! But with some shifts in your mindset, your thinking patterns, and your perceptions of what is going on around you, we will be able to create a calm, objective place for you to really take a step back, think about how you would prefer life to be, and a course of action to allow you to calmly move towards a happy life where you feel in control of your feelings, emotions, and mental and physical health.

A bit about me -

I come from a background of personal training and nutrition, helping people achieve the physical health goals they desire. Whilst working with clients I become fascinated with the mind, and the psychology of the people I was working with.  Many of them knew consciously, the changes they needed to make in their life, but there were certain mental barriers standing in their way. This is not uncommon for most people, whether they exercise or not. We all have things we would like to change about our lives, but knowing where to start, and how to overcome our deep-seated beliefs and values is not always easy.  

My goal is to get to know you as an individual, understand what it is you want to change, and tailor a bespoke service that will allow you to rewrite your personal story, and step into a new life, as a new person, capable of taking charge of your mind, your physical body, and how you respond to your external environment, rather than just reacting to it as an animal would.
