Harley Street Hypnotherapist Speaks Out at Soho House

Clinical hypnotherapist Sarah Dales is a qualified specialist in smoking cessation, weight and stress management and opened her clinic in a bid to satisfy her passion in helping people to tackle the UK's biggest health issues.

Her next challenge is to give a talk on hypnotherapy at the elite members club Soho House, whose members include Jude Law, J-Lo and Madonna.

Sarah said: "Over the years hypnosis has picked up a variety of weird associations from stage hypnotherapists, the media and superstition. This is a great shame because in reality, hypnosis is the single most effective tool for change and it is a natural state that has been studied scientifically and is based on many years of clinical research by famous psychologists such as Dr. Sigmund Freud and Dr. Carl Jung, and more recently by Dr Milton Erikson and Dr John Kappas. I in fact had Hypnotherapy to stop smoking when I worked for a big bank in the city and I was so impressed by the results I decided to re-train as a hypnotherapist."

Since her training with Harley Street based hypnotherapist Brian Jacobs, (who trained alongside Paul McKenna), Sarah successfully treats clients for an array of different problems -primarily smoking cessation, weight and stress management, but also lots of other issues including low confidence levels, public speaking and fears and phobias.

Sarah enjoys giving hypnotherapy talks to educate people about how many conscious decisions are influenced by the subconscious mind and how hypnotherapy can relieve stress and also change or get rid of unwanted behaviour.  Her next speaking event will be at Soho House on Wednesday 26th October where she will perform a live group hypnotherapy session to its members to enhance confidence and general wellbeing whilst diminishing any stress or anxiety.

Asking Sarah what her long term goals are, she replied:  "We need to start looking for a new way to solve a lot of health issues and hypnotherapy has been proven to work in so many cases, particularly smoking cessation, weight and stress management. In the UK alone, each year over 100,000 people die from smoking related diseases, over 60% of adults are overweight and according to HSE Stress Statistics, stress is believed to trigger 70% of visits to doctors and a staggering 85% of illnesses. In light of the latter statistic I am working with my GP and its practice so that more doctors refer their patients to hypnotherapists, especially those suffering from stress.  If this is a success it would be fantastic to see the NHS introducing hypnotherapy all over the country. Not only would this lighten the work load of GP's, but it would also save the NHS a lot of money and ultimately get these statistics down.  I also want to continue giving talks all over the UK to help organisations tackle stress in the workplace and also help individuals understand how hypnotherapy works so that it encourages them, and their family and friends, to use hypnotherapy to improve absolutely any area of their life!"
