Lawrence Pagett DHP Acc.Hyp MPHPA (Kidderminster)

Lawrence Pagett has been fascinated by the intriguing art of hypnosis from the age of 8 years of age when he started to practice and experiment with many forms of mind/body disciplines.

Professionally Lawrence comes from an educational background with many years experience. He has helped, guided and instructed countless people from around the world.

For 14 years he worked at an international Business School where he taught English Language and Communication Skills and eventually became a coordinator of the institution. It was here that he honed his teaching and motivational skills and naturally began using therapeutic intervention techniques. (For most of his working life Lawrence has preferred to layer his skills being seen as a teacher/trainer and doing “therapy” covertly.)

In 2001 the Birmingham school closed down and so sometime later Lawrence had the opportunity to open his own private therapy practice.  He approached Hypnotic World in 2004 and took their most excellent Diploma in Hypnotherapy.

Lawrence is also employed at the University of Wolverhampton as a Research Consultant where he helps students in the area of study skills. Once again his counseling and therapy skills come in handy.

Clem Turner DipHyp.DipAPsy FFMSc.FInstTM.GHR Reg.GQHP (Sutton in Ashfield)

From early in my life I have had a fascination for hypnosis and psychology I have always been an avid reader of books on both subjects, but initially the interest was purely for a hobby.

I went on to study with the College of Management Science, London and gained a Diploma with Distinction. Following that I did an Applied Psychology course with the same College for which I gained another Diploma with Distinction.

I am a fellow Member of the Institute of Therapies Management and a Fellow Member of The Faculty of Management Science. I have attended various courses and workshops including the Valerie Austin course on Suggestion Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis at The City of London University and the Hypnotic World Workshop.

I am a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register; The General Hypnotherapy Standards Council; the UK Register for IBS Therapists and the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners. Other therapies that I practice include Hypnotherapy NLP and EFT.

I now have a Hypnotherapy practice which I run from a studio at my home but I also practice at the Rosegarth Clinic for alternative therapies in Mansfield.

The problems I treat are many and diverse but I do tend to specialize in weight management.

Apart from suggestion therapy I have had tremendous success with regression and parts therapy. I am using parts therapy more and more and find that the results are quite phenomenal.

John Sellars DipHyp, MHS, MCPS (Scotland)

My introduction to Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy came was whilst I was an Engineering undergraduate at Sheffield University in the 1970s. I was introduced to a leading Hypnotherapist of the day who worked in a clinical environment as a Hypno-Anaesthetist. He worked with patients who required deep surgery but had previously had an allergic reaction to a General Anaesthetic.

This caught my attention to such an extent that I read just about everything the University Library had to offer on this fascinating subject and practiced on my younger brother which I would never recommend to anyone but was great fun at the time. Going on to gain my Engineering degrees and become a Chartered Engineer meant that I had parallel careers, which worked well.

Eventually, I decided to qualify in Hypnotherapy formally and gained my Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy. I have been practicing for over 10 years. I'm also a professional member of The Hypnotherapy Society.

In my practice, I'm usually happy to tackle most psychological problems using Hypnotherapy but I do tend to specialize in Single-Session Smoking Cessation, Eating Disorders and Depression. A current project is work on my book about treating Depression using Hypnotherapy. I use a variety of techniques and often bring in NLP and Parts Therapy where I feel this is appropriate.

Most of my work is in Glasgow and Edinburgh where I offer guidance to students and practicing Hypnotherapists.

Louis Ravelle (Spain) cert ABH, Internation Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association, UK Register of Advanced Hypnotherapists.

Louis Ravelle became interested in hypnosis over forty years ago. At that time he was operating a gymnasium in central London and already well known for his books and articles on health and physical culture.

It was his chance reading of a book by Mel Powers that started him on the hypnotic path. He did a lot more reading and started to use hypnosis on his gym pupils to improve their performance.  Lou, as he is known was probably one of the first to use hypnosis for increased sports performance, helping many of the top athletes who used his gym.

Later he concentrated on smoking cessation and weight loss (both allied to health and fitness)

For some years now Lou has lived in Spain, but finding himself bored with his early retirement, he started practicing hypnotherapy in Palma De Mallorca.  He says that his success rate with smokers, slimmers and phobics gives him great satisfaction. If you are interested in seeing a short movie of Lou doing hypnosis back in the fifties (when he was a lad) click on this link below (please turn up the sound as it is an old recording)
