Stephen
Chan D.Hyp (Adv.) (FIAPH) / BACP / AAMH Certified Medical Hypnotherapist
in Belfast, Portadown and Newry, Northern Ireland
My name is Stephen Chan, and thank you for taking
the time to visit my site and allowing me this opportunity to tell you
a little bit about myself and, more importantly, why I believe that
I am in a position to offer you what I believe to be the best possible
help and support for whatever is troubling you right now.
I’m guessing that by now you have tried pretty much everything,
talked to just about everyone in your attempt to sort your problems
out and you’ve probably tried the usual talking therapies, life
style gurus, drugs, monetary distractions, self help books, relaxation
techniques, various religious/spiritual beliefs, fortune tellers....and
what has all this time and effort brought you?
Little or no lasting
relief.
Right now, you’re probably
desperate and it’s the last resort...Hypnotherapy.
How do I know this about you? I’ve been there!
I know what it’s like to feel that there’s something inside
you that seems out of your control; to feel that you have to put on
that ‘mask’ every morning in an attempt to feel accepted;
to look in the mirror and wonder who that stranger is looking back at
you; to feel guilty and judged; to have destroyed relationships and
spent a small fortune trying to run away. But, the strangest thing is
that, at the time, feeling as if I was on an ‘out of control emotional
rollercoaster’ felt sadly ‘normal’ to me.
This
is when after much deliberation I turned to Hypnotherapy and, yes, in
the back of my mind I was worried that it was some sort of mind control
thing, that I’d end up barking like a dog, that they could just
click their fingers and fix me, change me...just like that...magic!
And in a way there was a part of me hoping that it would be that easy!
But it wasn’t like that - it was really, really relaxing and involved
me being given lovely suggestions from a lovely hypnotherapist, everything
that wanted to believe about myself and listening to tapes at home in
an attempt to reinforce these lovely suggestions...but despite their
best efforts... IT didn’t really work!
Then
I discovered that there is ‘Pure Hypnoanalysis’ which is
a different, more effective type of hypnotherapy because it actually
helps you to deal with the real reasons why we have
the problems that we do...they are a result of the emotional baggage
that we were all taught to carry because we just weren’t taught
how to deal with our feelings and emotions. No! We were taught that
the ‘best’ way to deal with all our guilt, pain, grief,
hurt and angst was to ‘put them in a box’ to ‘bottle
them up’ to bury them alive and to just get on with life...which
we did, we even managed to forget some things and some we even forgot
we had forgotten in the first place. We did this because we were afraid
that we would be judged and afraid we wouldn’t be loved and we
did it because we were told it’s the thing to do. But
eventually our ‘boxes’ and ‘bottles’ became
full and now it’s this overflow of emotions that’s breaking
the proverbial camel’s back that we can’t cope with........resulting
in stress, anxiety, addictions, phobias, eating disorders emotional
and physical dis-ease that plague us today.
It took the experience, help and care of a Pure Hypnoanalyst, plus a
large dollop of courage from myself, that allowed me to finally feel
safe and non-judged enough to release my guilt, shame and angst of the
past and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done, allowing
me the peace of mind and confidence that I’d always yearned for;
my only regret now is that I didn’t do it earlier, much earlier!
All this happened over a decade
ago and, needless to say, the experience has changed my life, so much
so that I decided to train with The International Association of Pure
Hypnoanalysts, the only organisation in the world that teaches ‘Pure
Hypnoanalysis’, so in turn I can now offer this truly life changing
therapy to you.
Now that you realise that I’ve been on a path similar to yours
and this is precisely why I have the greatest of confidence in this
therapy and, more importantly, in my abilities to be able to re-create
the same comfortable, safe and non-judgemental environment that were
afforded to me in order for you to release your ‘bottled
up’ emotions and at last set yourself free to be the best that
you can be...as it has done for me.
But don’t just take my word for it...call me on 0800
970 1189 and I will arrange a free
confidential consultation for you in which I will explain exactly how
your problems can and will be sorted out once and for all…usually
within 6 to 9 weeks! If you think all this sounds too good to be true,
just come in for your free consultation and allow me to PROVE it to
you!
I am also trained in counselling and N.L.P. and I am presently the relaxation
consultant for the Southern Area Hospice. I also lecture for the IAPH
on pain management / hypno-anaesthesia and have given lectures and workshops
for the Southern Education Board and various counselling organisations
At the 21st Annual Conference in May of 2006, I became one of the first
eighteen members of the International Association of 'Pure' Hypnoanalysts
to be awarded the Advanced membership status, from a worldwide membership
of 400 hypnotherapists.
As a fully qualified member of the International Association of 'Pure'
Hypnoanalysts, the American Association of Medical Hypnotherapists and
the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, I am bound
by a strict code of Practice and Ethics of the highest standards.
Having undergone extensive training and satisfied the various examination
boards of his competence, I am also committed to excellence of service
to my clients and I am committed to an ongoing programme of personal
and professional development in my field of therapy...... “Because
I feel I have a responsibility to retain and update my repertoire of
skills regularly, in order for me to provide the highest possible quality
of therapy. I believe that my clients expect and deserve the best.”
With over a decade of experience, I have seen the results of hypnotherapy,
specifically Pure Hypnoanalysis first hand and I know how it can be
used to effectively help people overcome a variety of issues.
