Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Elaine Chambers, a graduate of the European College of Hypnotherapy, a member of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHC), listed on the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR) and a member of the Complimentary Medical Association (CMA). I studied under the renowned international psychologist Dr Keith Hearne, BSc. MSc. PhD. who is also an acclaimed authority in the field of dream research and is on the Advisory Board of the GHSC. I follow the GHSC code of ethics.

I am a Neuro Linguistic Programme (NLP) Practitioner. I trained with John Seymour Associates (JSA) and I am a member of the Association for Neuro Linguistic Programming (ANLP).

I qualified as a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Practitioner Level 1 with the Copewell Institute, a JSA and the University of the West of England (UWE) partnership. I follow the CCA code of ethics.

I completed my Approved Algorithm training with Kevin Laye, a TFTdx approved Callahan Techniques Ltd trainer and I am an Associate member of the British Thought Field Therapy Association (BTFTA) and a member of the ATFT.

Prior to launching my own practice I worked for two decades in various people centred organisations. I spent several rewarding years guiding individuals and teams through personal growth and training programmes restoring their confidence and dignity. Later, utilising my social work training, I managed a women’s domestic abuse support project, incorporating a children’s support programme.

I have always been intrigued by human behaviour and interaction, so when I was considering changes in my own personal and career development, I knew that continuing to support other people through positive life changes would definitely remain at the core of my work.

A negative experience can continue to affect us much like the repeating ripple effect of a pebble hitting water. These effects can be reversed. I have used Hypnotherapy and NLP to successfully overcome some difficult issues in my own personal and work life, and to achieve my personal goals. I believe therefore, that not only does this make me a good advocate for my own work, but also enables me to work empathically with others who are also looking to achieve a more positive and meaningful outcome in their lives. I can help you to achieve your goals by showing you how to uncover and utilise the hidden resources already present within you.



How do I work?

The phrase ‘different strokes for different folks’ is never more apt than when people are looking for, or responding to, therapeutic support. It is for this reason that I adopt an eclectic approach to my work.

NLP and Hypnotherapy can often overlap. So we may find that we begin the session with one approach but finish with another, as is appropriate to the presenting issue. Whether you wish to stop smoking, deal with a childhood trauma, overcome a long standing problem, make ‘the right’ important life changing decision, get rid of a phobia, or build a new life for yourself, we can achieve it for you together, in a relaxed, friendly, comfortable environment.

We may find that dipping into the past is necessary if we are to identify and eradicate debilitating patterns in your life, but most of our work together will be a forward looking solution - focussed approach, designed to develop strategies to achieve your goals.
