HR8, Ledbury
At Cognitive Mind Solutions (CMS) we use Cognitive Hypnotherapy (CH) which is a most effective combination of techniques from Evolutionary Psychology, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Theory and Neuro Linguistic Programming.
With CH we break down the origins of a presenting problem rather than just addressing the symptoms as happens with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and other talking therapies.

What do you love most about your job?
As an ex serviceman I can help people experiencing all manner of difficulties brought on by traumatic experience (PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc). I understand and speak the language of the veterans I have worked with previously, which includes our Blue Light services, and can empathise with them, in the vernacular, at peer level.
I get a very emotional buzz out of seeing men, women and children, come back into the world they belong in - not the world that they have relegated themselves to or have been abandoned to live in.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Being an ex serviceman I know what it's like to have been in similar situations to the people I find myself working with. I am lucky in that the events I experienced did not have a lasting, negative, effect on me. I recovered quickly from my experiences but know how difficult it can be to work your way through your very private thoughts and fears, without help.
Why should our clients choose you?
My training, experience and approach is considered, by most of the people I have worked with, to be quite different to their previous experiences with therapy. My personal experience of being in similar stress situations to many of my clients affords me an insight to what they are experiencing. As a result I can work with them at a peer level which, very often, allows me to use a different approach in helping them overcome their problem.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. By WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype, Meet and bespoke follow up recordings for the individual to listen to after each of our sessions together.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have hand sanitisers and masks available if people want to use them in the event that we meet face-to-face.
Anxiety, Depression, Confidence, Trauma, PTSD, Learning Difficulties.
For many years I have been helping people overcome all manner of problems concerning trauma - veterans from Viet Nam through veterans from the more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I have also had a great deal of success with helping children, and adults, in overcoming learning difficulties in particular with children labelled as "Slow Learners"
