New research from the University of Aberdeen challenges the current view that trauma in childhood increases the risk of all health conditions. The study found instead that some conditions are more affected than others and women are more affected than men.

Another five star review from client - At age 88, and following a highly active life up to the last few years, I unfortunately developed arthritis in most joints. A year or two ago, the subtalar joint in one heel became particularly troublesome, causing increasing difficulty in walking: an awkward gait then developed into pain in knees, hips and lower back. Over time, to relieve the stiffness of the arthritis, I tried physio, Alexander Technique, exercise class and chiropraxis with varied benefits, but none specifically to my heel or gait.
These having failed, and despite deep-rooted scepticism, I was persuaded by a neighbour and former practitioner to try hypnotherapy. I chose Stephen from a list on the internet, and that seems to have been a lucky choice. I have had two sessions with Stephen over the last month or so and have experienced a definite and significant improvement in my walking. I felt the benefit after my first session, having to walk half a mile to get my bus home and doing so without the usual lameness caused by the painful heel. After the second session I surprised myself when I had to scurry briefly to catch a bus and did so without trouble or discomfort. Now, on short walks, I generally go out without a stick, being fairly confident in my balance and finding some improvement in my stamina. I am now using Stephens CD recording to attack my knee and back pain.

Five star review from client - 'I wasn’t sure what to expect going into hypnosis — I was definitely skeptical, but tried to stay open-minded. I’m really glad I did. The session helped me feel genuinely relaxed, and I noticed a real shift in how I experienced my pain afterwards and allowed me to stop taking pain medication after 2 years. It’s not a complete cure, pain can still come, but it made a meaningful difference and reminded me how powerful the mind-body connection can be. Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re dealing with chronic pain or tension.'
