About Philip Rainbird
My therapeutic practice grew from an interest in the practical applications of philosophy. Hypnotherapy offers fast solutions to actual life problems.
My techniques tend to be now and future oriented, and I find that most people feel at their best when motivated by a powerful and compelling life goal, future self-image or target state. However I also frequently use regression techniques when necessary.
I have successfully treated the whole listed range of presenting problems with hypnosis, and frequently combine cognitive methods such as NLP, EMDR, EFT with elements of rapid cognitive therapy.
I have found both personally and for patients that hypnotherapy frequently becomes a personal journey of self-discovery that goes far beyond the confines of initial presenting problems. Once motivated and given direction, the `Unconscious` mind has vast potential for self-development and creative change that far exceeds people`s self-expectations.
Hypnosis accelerates the change and problem-solving that longer term therapies like counselling and analysis also address. While I do not like the term`life-coaching` nor set myself up in this role, I find that many people can naturally engage with hypnosis and analysis over a long period of time, solving each level of problem as it arises. Currently I work at the Bexley (DA5 1AD) and Plumstead (SE18 1JX)Osteopathic clinics, and can also do home visits where this is appropriate. Clinic video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq3AmHf2-X8
My training, work experience and any achievement
BA (Hons) Philosophy and Eng Lit (1976-79)
(2001-03) LCCH Imperial College Certificate, diploma and practitioner diploma Clinical hypnotherapy.
Continually employed since qualification, full member of British Society for Clinical Hypnosis, also clinical supervisor and course tutor for the LCCH (PG Cert & CPPD Hypnotherapy)
I have 10+ years experience, successfully treating many patients including 7/7 bombing survivors, heroin, cannabis, cocaine, alcohol and nicotine addicts, trauma victims of parental and domestic abuse, unresolved grief, accident trauma, sufferers from chronic pain, performance problems including sexual issues and stage fright, academic, artistic and studying problems, creative blocks, relationship and social
phobias, memory recovery including apparent `past life` issues.
My personal experience with `past life` therapy leads me to view it as a very powerful metaphorical resource that can bring about profound change and experiences, but can also trigger extremely disturbing memory type events. For this very reason I never agree to do `off the shelf` or `tourist` past life regression.
Further Information
I offer one-session intensive stop smoking sessions at £110. One-session therapy is still the most effective method for smoking cessation, and as such I will not sabotage that effectiveness by offering guarantees, as this is of course a negative suggestion and a guarantee of failure.
