Hello, I’m Pam Segal, the Basildon hypnotherapist – I have been a practicing analytical hypnotherapist at Pam Segal Hypnotherapy in the Basildon, Essex area since I qualified in 2001.

Some of the most common problems people consult me for are to get help with stress & anxiety, to control panic attacks and help with fears & phobias, lack of confidence & self esteem, weight control (including Hypno-Band) and help to stop smoking – it’s worth getting in touch if your problem isn’t mentioned here to see if I can help you too, as I have spent thousands of hours helping hundreds of people who wanted to take back control of their lives and relieve the symptoms of many different problems, too numerous to list.

Up to 70% of my clients at any one time come from the personal recommendations of ex-clients, but if you aren't fortunate enough to know someone who has been successfully treated with hypnotherapy you might find it harder to choose the right hypnotherapist for you. Because you want to make the right choice of hypnotherapist for you I can offer you a free consultation of up to an hour, so you can come and have a chat and discuss your problems. I will take the time to explain how hypnotherapy works, what your personal treatment plan would be and what we can hope to achieve and whether or not I think I can help you (if I think I can't help I will do my best to refer you on to someone I think will be able to help you). After the free consultation I am happy for you to go away and discuss your decision with your friends or family, or just have a think about it and then get back to me if you decide you want to go ahead.

These days many people are looking beyond conventional medicine for help with their problems and more people are taking an interest in holistic solutions to their problems. Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy offers a holistic, drug free option which can be used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment if necessary, empowering people to become involved in their own healing.  Because we are more than just a mind or a body, I work holistically with the whole of you (holistic comes from whole-istic). People don’t always realise that how we feel in ourselves can affect how our body feels and how our body feels can affect our moods and feelings. This is why I always try to take a holistic overview of a client’s problems.

 Hypnotherapy is becoming more widely accepted by conventional medicine and an article in the Sunday Telegraph on 7th June, 2009 stated that "Prof. David Spiegel of the Dept. of Psychiatry & Behavioural sciences at Stanford University will told the Royal Society of Medicine that NICE should add hypnotherapy to its list of approved therapeutic techniques for the treatment of conditions ranging from allergies and high blood pressure to the pain associated with cancer treatment and bone marrow transplantation. 

NICE has already approved the technique for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome”

(Incidentally, having suffered from IBS myself I know how embarrassing & debilitating the condition can be and I also know that with the specialist training I have received in this area, that hypnotherapy can often be very successful in reducing the symptoms)

Hypnotherapy may be able to help you with more problems and conditions than you probably realise and if your problem is not listed on the top panel just click on ‘Can You Help Me?’ to go to a list of some of the conditions I am often consulted about, as there are too many to go into in detail here.

Always bear in mind that regardless of what you may have been told, or have seen on the internet or the advertisements, tackling some issues may require a degree of willpower - as in every area of life, the more committed you are to achieving what you want to achieve the more likely you are to succeed. Please treat any ad guaranteeing you success in any area of your life with the greatest caution – a responsible therapist will NEVER guarantee anything!

I hope you enjoy my website, there is lots of information here on hypnotherapy and hypnosis, but if you would like to know anything more or just have a chat please feel free to get in touch - I'll be glad to hear from you.
