Tim Grimwade, Cognitive Hypnotherapist

General information

There are many and varied approaches to Hypnotherapy but from the start of my training in the field I have focused intentionally on purely evidence-based practice. This means I do not practice disciplines that are as yet unable to provide satisfactory evidence for their efficacy. The methods I use are long-established, peer-reviewed interventions and are aligned with the conclusions of, among others, the British Psychological Society, the British Medical Association and the American Medical Association.

I have a Diploma in Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy, accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy, the General Hypnotherapy Register, the Register for Evidence-Based Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy and approved by the British Psychological Society.

Hypnotherapy and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy are proven effective psychotherapeutic approaches in their own right. Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an even more effective and long-lasting approach than either individual method.

Prior to being a full-time Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapist I worked for eight years for a leading international Investment Bank in the City of London, an education itself in human nature, behaviour and different strategies for coping in a highly pressured environment.
