with other therapeutic techniques e.g. hypnotic suggestions.What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxation.Can everybody be hypnotised?

silly?
No - you will never be out of control, always wide awake, and just
very relaxed. Will I remember everything?
Yes.Why should I choose you as my therapist?
Good question. You may be surfing the internet and looking at several
choices. All I can really say is that what you read on this website
is what you get - as a professional hypnotherapist in Cheltenham
I have worked successfully with several thousand clients for many
years on a full time basis.By coming to see me you can be sure of experience, care, expertise, and professionalism, with sessions conducted in relaxing, confidential and comfortable surroundings. Above all, you will simply get good quality professional therapy.
Do you offer a free initial consultation?
Yes. There is no obligation and it usually lasts around 30-40 minutes.
Not normally required for smoking cessation. I am always happy to
meet people and have a chat with them.Can I bring someone with me to the consultation?
Yes of course if you want to.How much do you charge?
See my fees
page.How many sessions will I need?
Very simple symptoms such as stopping smoking or losing weight can
be dealt with very quickly, sometimes in just one single session.
More 'deep rooted' anxieties or problems can take more sessions
or a course of therapy.Do you do home visits?
No, sorry. I only work from my office in the Pittville Lawn Practice.

Call me anytime on 07968 176018or email any questions that you may have to me at richard@richardparsons.net
Where do I park?
Parking directly outside the clinic is limited to residents in the
street so I recommend parking on the street either over on the other
side of Pittville Lawn towards the park or there are always some
free street parking spaces available on Central
Cross Drive, Albert Road or Pittville Crescent, all
just a few minutes walk from the practice.View large streetmap showing these streets
The other convenient place to park is the large Portland Street Car Park, and walking to the clinic through the green gates takes two or three minutes.
What do I do when I arrive?
In Pittville Lawn Practice my office and waiting room are in the basement. As you arrive at the main door just say that you have come to visit me, and once inside if you ask at the main reception they will point you in the right direction. Downstairs there is a private waiting area for hypnotherapy clients, sofa, magazines and toilet etc... have a seat and I will come and find you.
