Deborah Winyard - Clinical Hypnotherapist Reading, Berkshire
I first came across Hypnotherapy as a client many year ago. Like many people, my discovery of the effectiveness of hypnotherapy started with a word-of-mouth recommendation through a friend. Taking that friend's advice and visiting the hypnotherapist they recommended turned out to be a great decision.
My interest in the subject grew and I subsequently trained at Postgraduate level with the University of West London via the London College of Clinical Hypnosis. I did my NLP Licensed Practitioner training with Richard Bandler who, along with John Grinder, first developed NLP.
I am a member of the professional bodies BSCH (British Society of Clinical Hypnosis) and the CNHC (Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council) and am an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist, providing therapeutic support to the charity’s members and partner beneficiaries. I am subject to Anxiety UK’s regular monitoring of my professional qualifications, supervision, continual professional development, insurance and professional body membership in addition to complying with the ethical framework and professional standards set down by the BSCH and CNHC. I'm also registered with Psychology Today and Hypnotherapy Directory.
When I’m not working I enjoy being outdoors, preferably near or under the sea. I love scuba diving, although this is taking a back seat at the moment as my partner and I introduce our daughter to the wonders of the UK’s beautiful beaches. So these days I am more likely to be seen lying by a rock pool searching for crabs than under the water. We do still manage our annual diving holiday to the Isles of Scilly off the coast of Cornwall, where there are fascinating shipwrecks, stunning underwater walls and pinnacles to explore.
I also enjoy being part of the local community. I am a scout leader with the 1st Lower Earley Scouting Group and also enjoy taking part in Woodley Park Runs and Reading Park Runs.
