- My name is Bettie Hough. I am a qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist. I hold a BA Psychology Degree, a Post Graduate Degree in Management, a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis.
- I am a member of the British Clinical and Strategic Hypnosis Association, the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and adhere to their code of ethics. I am also a member of the National Register of Practioners in Smoking Cessation.
- I work and live in Shirley, Croydon. We are situated near a British Rail station, bus routes and parking. I provide day and evening appointments.
- I normally see new clients free for an assessment interview. I believe that you will only derive full benefit from therapy if you feel that you will be able to get along with me. I have to asses if your problems are within my scope of ability. If both of us decide to work together, we discuss what we want to achieve in therapy and work as equal partners towards that goal.
- We decide how many sessions you may need so that your financial commitment is clear. We do regular reviews to evaluate progress made and what worked best to help you achieve your goals. I normally see my clients once a week for an hour. I charge from £35 for day and £45per hour for evening sessions.
- I work with individuals, couples and teenagers. I do not have a fixed way of working. I am trained in most counselling models and clinical hypnosis and fit my treatment to the needs of my clients. I use cognitive behaviour treatment [CBT] where applicable. My best quality is my ability to build and maintain a sound therapeutic relationship with my clients because I care!
- When I do hypnotherapy, in invite you to relax in an armchair and then guide you into a state of deep physical and mental relaxation. You would generally be aware of your surroundings and can choose to come out of the trance state at any time. At the end of the session I return you to the normal awake state. Clients are normally surprised at how far the reality of the trance state is from any prior expectation of "mind control" and find the experience deeply relaxing.
