Stephen Mawdsley

Senior Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, Mental Skills & Personal Development Coach

I consider myself fortunate to work in a field that I enjoy & am able to help people in getting to where they want to be in life . This means I can use not only my expertise in hypnosis and therapy , but to also use my life experience in helping others reach their goals.

I have found that using a combination of hypnosis, NLP & life Coaching to be the quickest and most effective way of achieving the desired outcome.

Why am I now in Spain?

Spain is where I have spent the majority of my adult life, I met my wife here, our children were born here, but for various family reasons after 20 years here we returned to the uk.

We are now back in the country we love and I am building my business here as well as carrying on seeing clients from the uk online over Zoom

How did I get into this profession?

In 2007 I had a cardiac arrhythmia and I was rushed into intensive care and then onto the normal ward. I recovered and released a week or so later.

I was told me that there was no physical reason for the Arrhythmia, it was more than likely caused by stress of running my buissiness. This was the starting point for my new found interest. The psychological reasons that caused stress & anxiety. To cut a long story short led me into my current profession.

I set about studying, while continuing to work & learning much more about what had become, and still is a very interesting field for me.

Therapy then became my full time profession and I opened my practice throughout with 1 office and then expanded to 3 offices throughout Lancashire

During covid and the lockdown I was obviosly unable to see clients face to face, so I started to experiment over skype and zoom. After a short period of doing this realised that there was no difference in the results my clients were experiencing over zoom then from the clients I was seeing in my offices.

In fact it had several benefits. Nobody was getting stressed rushing about & fighting through traffic. My clients were more relaxed because they were in the comfort of their own home, this also helped them feel more at ease. The ultimate Benefit was that I didn’t have the expense of 3 offices so I could keep my prices competitive.

I have now moved back to Spain with my wife where we have spent the majority of out adults

How hypnotherapy works?

Clinical Hypnotherapy is a talking therapy applied through the medium of Hypnosis. Hypnosis in itself is not a cure or a therapy, it is a vehicle, a way of talking directly to that part of your mind that will enable you to make the changes you want to make.

Although hypnotherapy has its own methods and techniques, I have the option to use several different approaches during a therapy session, not just therapies that are used under hypnosis. Some of these techniques are therapies in their own right such as Cognitive behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro Linguistic Programing (NLP) or Psychotherapy approaches. Some of these methods can be used in or out of hypnosis.

Any approaches used are tailored to fit each individuals needs and requirements.

In fact treatment is not always necessarily done under hypnosis some treatments can be used effectively without hypnosis, however I have found that generally, using hypnosis as a vehicle, more often than not provides better, quicker and more effective results.

Because under hypnosis we deal directly with the subconscious part of the mind it is easier to effect change in a positive way.

Most people on many occasions throughout their life make conscious decisions either do something or even stop doing something but find it very difficult to achieve. Hypnotherapy puts your conscious and subconscious mind in tune with each other helping you to achieve your goals.

Hypnotherapy can be used to treat a range of emotional and psychological problems and a wide range of unhelpful behaviours. Hypnotherapy is an excellent intervention to support people in making positive changes in their lives.

I have heard over the years many people saying such things as “why don’t you just do it” or “ its simple enough anybody can do that”. As individuals we are all have our own life experiences and what is easy for one person, is not necessarily so for another.
If you want to make a positive change in your life then hypnotherapy can be an excellent tool in helping you achieve your goals.
