About Gavin
Hi, my name is Gavin and I am a Hypnotherapist working here at Thatcham Counselling Service and my level of
education and practice meet the highest ethical standards that you should expect from a Hypnotherapist.
My approach centres around collaboration, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I have a
passion for helping and supporting people to overcome whatever challenges Life has thrown at them. I believe in
treating each client with unconditional positive regard, fostering a safe and supportive environment where we can
work and collaborate to help you achieve your goal(s).
My experience as a Mentor, Coach and People Manager in my previous career in the corporate professional
services world has further honed my ability to empower people to make positive Life changes and achieve their
full potential. Together, we can explore your subconscious mind and uncover the tools you need to overcome
obstacles and create lasting change. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Hypnotherapy can help people overcome many challenges they are facing in their Lives and here is a list of some
of the more common issues I have helped people to deal with:
Anxiety
Stress
Panic attacks
Low self-esteem
Managing bad habits
PTSD
Sleep hygiene
Weight management
Stop smoking/vaping (enhanced fee for this work that I will explain in your initial free discovery call)
Bereavement and Loss
Pain management
Imposter syndrome
Critical illness support
…… the list is endless!!
I look forward to you booking your free initial discovery on-line call and getting to know you and vice-versa and
we can take it from there
Training & Experience
I am qualified to diploma level with HypnoTC: The Hypnotherapy Training Company, whose training has been
externally accredited by The General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR), The Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT)
and The British Institute of Hypnotherapy & NLP (BIH).
I am also a Certified Hypnotherapist (C.H.) with the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), of which HypnoTC are a
recognised training provider.
I have a Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (Level 4) with The National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and am
a member (MNCH Reg).
I am also qualified to provide Hypno-Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (Hypno-EMDR) services.
This is a fantastic technique combining Hypnotherapy and EMDR and is primarily aimed at those wanting to
overcome trauma(s) they have suffered; however, it can also be used on a wide range of issues such as:
phobias, stress, anxiety.
I am also a Full Member of The Federation of Holistic Therapists (MFHT).
I adhere to the Code of Ethics of all the bodies above plus The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council
(CNHC). You are welcome to see a copy of these codes, which also gives you information about the complaints
procedure. I am fully insured by Hiscox Insurance Services.
I also volunteered for 2 years at the Macmillan Centre at the University Hospital Southampton where I worked
alongside other therapists to provide support to patients and their family and friends.
Prior to qualifying as a Hypnotherapist, I worked in the corporate professional services sector where I helped
colleagues as a coach, mentor and people manager and I bring all this training and experience to my
hypnotherapy clients.
Booking/Cancellations
Fees can be paid by bank transfer, contactless payment or cash, whatever you prefer. As I need to organise my
week in advance, I need at least 48 hour’s notice if you want to cancel or rearrange your session or programme
and I will refund the fee you have paid in full, (less any programme sessions attended) otherwise your fee is non-
refundable.
