Having been involved with various martial arts, I have always marvelled at the power of the brain and how it can be harnessed to produce spectacular results. When I decided to switch to a career where my personal qualities would be more suited, I came upon Cognitive Hypnotherapy and the more that I found out about it, the more I became 'entranced' by what it has to offer.

I was careful in my selection of training institute. Some offer qualifications based on minimal learning and practice. The Quest Institute convinced me that its training was second to none. This is in large part due to my mentor, Trevor Silvester, who was inspirational throughout my training and now in the support given thereafter.

I have a Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy (Dip.C.Hyp) from the Quest Institute. I am a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy MNCH (Acc) and have a Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) issued by it. In addition, I am a qualified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner (NLP MasterPrac).

Furthermore, I am a registered with the Natural & Complementary Healthcare Council; the new regulating body for the Hypnotherapy profession.

NLP & Hypnotherapy provide useful tools to help enhance Sports performance. These have been complemented by my training as a Mind Factor Coach, by Dr Karl Morris; one of the leading Sports Psychologists in the world. His unique approach has been used to help many top sports professionals to perform at their very best.

In my spare time, I am a keen tennis player, have recently been elected to be Chairman of the newly reformed Storrington & District 41 Club and am a Trustee Director of Chanctonbury Sports & Leisure Centre. >
