Hypnotherapy
The Brookhouse Hypnotherapy Group
I’m very happy to announce that, from the beginning of November 2017, I have joined the Brookhouse Hypnotherapy Group, a national group of practices founded by Shaun Brookhouse in 2003. I will be covering the London South East area for the group, as a hypnotherapist and hypo-psychotherapist.
I will soon be adding the group’s latest booklet to the web site, but in the meantime, here is a short extract from it, explaining a little bit about the group and its members:
"All members of the Brookhouse Hypnotherapy Group are dedicated to helping their clients to:
Resolve problems as quickly as possible
Improve their well-being
Improve their mental health
Raise their self-esteem
Strive towards reaching their potential
Be fully functioning authentic, autonomous people
All practices are Evidence Based and we all start from the fundamental training in Hypnotherapy as the means by which we can achieve these aims most effectively. The additional therapies included in this booklet add to this base and may be utilised when appropriate to increase our effectiveness."
All group members are also members of The National Society of Hypnosis, Psychotherapy & Mindfulness, which operates a comprehensive complaints process to back up its Code of Ethics. They also all undertake regular supervision, continuing professional development and are insured.
The group can be contacted directly by e-mail: info@hypnotherapy.org.uk

Anxiety UK therapy outcomes for 2016
01/02/2017 12:06 Filed in: Psychotherapy | Hypnotherapy
Anxiety UK have published figures for therapy outcomes in 2016, measured using the IAPT method for calculating recovery, reliable improvement and reliable recovery.
Out of 221 planned completions, 67% of clients recovered, 87% reliably improved and 67% reliably recovered.
This compares very favourably to the national IAPT outcomes for 2015/16 which were 46.3% recovered, 62.2% reliably improved and 44% reliable recovery.
Just to be clear, these figures relate to all forms of therapy provided through Anxiety UK's approved therapist schemes, working with CBT or hypnotherapy. I think they show the quality of the service and support that Anxiety UK are able to offer their members through the scheme.
For any one who is curious, the IAPT method for calculating recovery, reliable improvement and reliable recovery is as follows:
A referral is classed as ‘recovered’ if the client has finished a course of treatment and moved from caseness* to not being at caseness by the end of the referral.
A referral is deemed to have shown reliable improvement if it shows a decrease in one or both assessment scores that surpass the measurement error, (for GAD7 assessment this is 4, for PHQ9 it is 6).
Reliable improvement and recovery can be combined to create an overall measure of reliable recovery where both a change from caseness to not caseness during the course of the referral and which show reliable improvement.
*Caseness is the term used to describe a referral that scores highly enough on measures of depression and anxiety to be classed as a clinical case.
More information on the use of IAPT services can be found in this report.
