09 Jul What does a hypnotherapist do, then? At the weekend I went to a comedy club at Darwen Library Theatre ( a lovely venue and great atmosphere - highly recommended). However, I made the mistake(?) of sitting in the front row. As I am quite small I thought it would guarantee me a good view which it did but... When the MC began the warm up and started getting the audience involved he went along the front row asking people's names and occupations, making guesses according to their appearance. He thought my deputy headteacher husband

05 Jun Listen.... As a therapist, the most important part of my job is to listen to my clients. This may seem obvious but it is surprising how rare it is for someone to give you their undivided attention. In life, there is always so much going on that demands our attention.

17 Apr Creating Ripples My uncle Alan died recently; I hadn't seen him for many years but I had fond memories of childhood Christmases playing parlour games and also of a weekend sailing trip to the Isle of Wight on his yacht. Attending his funeral were a couple of people whom I had never met but who explained that their lives had been transformed by their encounter with Alan. As children, they had lived nearby and become friends with Alan. They had shown an interest in helping Alan with the maintenance of his sailing
