When combined with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Hypnotherapy is a fast acting treatment that can help you make a lasting, positive change for the better, and address many anxieties and conditions.
James Thomas is one of Lincolnshire’s very few practitioners.
Hypnotherapy means using hypnosis as a therapeutic tool.
Hypnosis itself is no more than a way to focus your attention.
It’s not about you dancing around doing the funky chicken. You are conscious, awake, participating and remembering.
Simple as that.
Described by the British Medical Journal as the “gold-standard psychotherapy”, I use CBT as a way to help you manage your existing problems. Changing the way you think and behave.
Quite simply, I believe that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are linked. And working together we can turn negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones using hypnotherapy.
CBT deals with your current problems. The here and now. Not focusing on your past. And I look for practical ways to improve your state of mind on a daily basis.
What I will ask of you is to be prepared to carry out what I suggest to you between our sessions. Why? Because CBT is hands on. It needs your commitment to change.
Jim really helped me to get myself focused on starting my new business. His positive outlook, together with a well-grounded dose of wisdom acquired from years of experience in the commercial world, make him a unique hypnotherapist. He is a born motivator and if you're trying to ignite a burning ambition, then he'll certainly be the spark that gets you going. I have Jim to thank for the position I'm now in - the owner of a thriving business with a wonderful team that keeps growing. Thank you Jim!
Jim Thomas treated me for a long-standing anxiety issue in May 2018. Jim asked me lots of questions, such as when I started to feel anxious, what emotions I had at that time, the sensations I feel, my actions and behaviour, my thoughts and what positive changes do I want to experience instead and what positive benefits might result from these changes. He then wrote a script especially for me and hypnotised me using this script. Being hypnotised was a wonderful calm, relaxing feeling for me and I trusted Jim to help me through my anxiety. He was kind, sensitive and assertive, and afterwards I had a warm inner confidence that wasn’t there before and it has helped me face my issue and handle it in a calm and positive way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jim for hypnotherapy, he really helped me.
When I met Jim, I was unsure about what to expect from hypnotherapy. Jim is not only a very calm and caring person but also generous and optimistic. He helped me cope through a difficult time of physical challenges and health development. Working with him, I always felt understood, respected and in a safe environment. From my experience, I can only highly recommend Jim as a professional and genuine person you can trust. Thank you!
