Testimonials

 

I think most of what could be said about Alexia's amazing abilities as a therapist and more have been said in the other reviews. She is an incredibly talented and compassionate person, who took me on when others turned me away, and is bringing me back to being a whole person again. So I'll just add one thing:

If Carlsberg did therapists, they'd be Alexia Elliott!!

 

 

 

Sometimes words do not do people justice and sometimes there are not enough words or emotions to express how grateful I am for having met such an inspirational and wonderful woman/therapist. I remember the very first session that I had with Alexia, wondering if this person was going to be able to help me. Within minutes after meeting Alexia, I was at ease and felt very relaxed and comfortable. For once in my life I felt that this time was about ME. After many years I had finally realised and accepted that there were areas in my life that I needed to change  in particular, depressive episodes and weight loss. Little did I realise that the two were so interlinked, and for the first time ever, I felt that there was someone out there who understood the pain and torment that I had been going through."

Alexia is truly an amazing therapist with so much empathy and compassion for the people that she works with. I have gained so many valuable life-tools that have helped me to work though, and continue to work through, some of the barriers I had been facing.

 

Worry and anxiety over food and my life was all consuming.  It had all but taken over all my days and left me feeling so scared and alone that I didn't think I could ever feel safe, content or allow myself to smile ever again.  I found Alexia's approach and methods were a massive help, not only in making me feel better about myself but helping me find that teeny little bit of light in my life and showing me how to brighten up my whole existence.  It all made sense after she helped me to see who I really am, turns out I didn't have all that to worry about after all and after a few sessions with her, I began to feel so much better about all that was worrying me.  I can't believe I struggled for so long when I didn't have to.  Alexia has a gentle, yet no nonsense approach that is very caring; understated but SO effective.  I'd trust her with my spirit, mind and worries without hestitation, anytime.   KDP

 The emphasis of the teaching is in the title of the course - quick, efficient cures for clients, not whys and wherefores. The client is then left empowered to go on with a life, armed with more choices than they thought possible

 

"Alexia Elliott was the Therapist I had sessions with. She was very Professional but also extremely friendly and put me at my ease straight away. I found the session fees paid for themselves in my case as I spent less on Alcohol due to them. My self belief and health also improved. Thank you."

 

 

 

 

"I looked forward to every session with Alexia and find it so easy to talk to her as I knew I can trust her. Alexia has helped me see things so much more clearly and have the belief to take things a step-at-a-time, with awareness and compassion for the journey that is taking place. Without any doubt, I will always HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alexia because, quite simply, she is the best. An inspirational person that helps you to see your world in a brighter light, an inspirational person that inspires you to be a better person". Kerry

 

 

 

"Working with Alexia of Empowerment Therapy has given me an amazing lease of life that seemed impossible 2 months ago. Alexia has a wide range of therapy skills which she constantly develops, a natural empathy toward people and an open mind. Using this mix she provided me with therapy that was specific to my needs, whilst being flexible toward the changes that I experienced. Most importantly, the journey that we went through was fun and creative (along with the odd tear); this provided me with the freedom I needed to gain true self awareness and make necessary change. Empowerment Hypnotherapy is an exceptional service that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to actively improve their life." Fiona

 

 

"I visited Alexia for weight related issues. I had struggled all my life. As well as weight loss, I was able to explore and close some very difficult issues in my life that were symptoms of my over eating. I am now able to eat sensible choices, eating wise feeling better physically and psychologically". Maisie"

 

 

 "Alexia is a great listener and orchestrator of questions that inevitably make you search your inner soul to find root causes of anxiety and stress related problems, which often manifest as physical conditions. Doctors may prescribe medication and time off to heal, but Alexia brings about a self awareness that enables improved management of the cause and a better outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending her skills to any person or organisation" David

 

 

"Alexia Elliott was the Therapist I had sessions with. She was very Professional but also extremely friendly and put me at my ease straight away. I found the session fees paid for themselves in my case as I spent less on Alcohol due to them. My self belief and health also improved. Thank you." Pete

 

 

 

 

"As I was coming from a non counselling background, I wanted a course that catered for as wide a range of therapy topics as possible. Talking Cures exceeded this aspiration in every way. I have had doors opened to so many things, it's been a delight to start investigating future directions. The course covers all conceivable presenting problems and goes on to demonstrate many different ways of approaching them - from hypnotherapy, NLP, shamanic approaches and combinations of all three.

 

I found the delivery to be well paced and sympathetic the feelings of the group. In fact it was only looking back when I realised how much ground we had covered every weekend. The theory is interspersed with practical exercises and enlivened by many anecdotes and examples from the real world of counselling. the emphasis of the teaching is in the title of the course - quick, efficient cures for clients, not whys and wherefores. The client is then left empowered to go on with a life, armed with more choices than they thought possible.

 

 

If asked to sum up the course, I would describe it as a launch pad. A runway designed for students to take off in any direction they choose in the wide world of counselling. I would recommend it heartily to anyone considering taking up counselling, furthering their career or as wonderful self development."

"Having started the course with Talking Cures Training with no prior knowledge of hypnotherapy, I can honestly say that it has changed my life. Every single module was excellently taught by Alexia and Martin, both of whom have a wealth of experience in hypnotherapy, NLP and Shamanism.

They made every single one of the students feel at home from the word go. I enjoyed the course so much that I have become a professional hypnotherapist myself. I would recommend Talking Cures Training to anyone who wants to learn the skills and techniques involved in hypnotherapy, NLP and Shamanic healing. Every single lesson involved a lot of practical work, backed up with excellent slides and presentations" Mark

 Weight loss and Hypnotherapy

 

 

 Diets do not work; weight loss, diets are short term solutions which are notoriously linked to misery, feeling of deprivation, embarrassing ‘weigh ins’ and feelings of long term guilt.

 

When people tell me they are buying into another faddy weight loss diet, I ask them, are you prepared to do it for the rest of your life? I’m yet to find someone who says yes to this question. Invariably as soon as you come of the diet, you return to your old eating patterns and weight. Weight loss diets won’t change how you think about food; weight loss diets do not resolve the internal conflict and feelings of lack of willpower.

 

I have been helping people change their relationship with food for over 8yrs now.  This is a subject I am particularly passionate about, I really do understand the complexity of problematic relationships with food and how soul destroying the viscous cycle of weight loss is.

 

If you really want to lose weight, enjoy the process and feel happy from within, what you need to change is, the way you think about food? Do you want to end to constant battle with weight? Hypnotherapy and NLP, can not only help you change the way you think about food, and help you lose weight for life, and finally end the constant need to nibble and feel in control. The truth is that you can. There is an overwhelming amount of research, which clearly shows that dieting has a 95% failure rate. 

 

Can you identify with the following? You will benefit from our ‘lose weight for life’ approach if you agree with any of following statements:
 

  • You have cravings or binge on certain foods, especially sweet food or carbohydrate.
  • You find it hard to feel motivated.
  • You feel that your body is fat and looks unattractive.
  • You have low self-esteem and lack confidence.
  • You still want and hope to lose weight but just keep putting the weight back on.
  • You are an expert on diets, read every book, done every diet and still struggling lose weight or get rid of those last few pounds
  • You feel stuck, wondering what else you can do and feel doomed.
  • You spend a lot of time thinking about food.
  • You feel as though food talks to you and controls you
  •  

 

How will I lose weight with hypnotherapy?

You may be thinking, how can hypnotherapy and NLP, help me lose weight?  It’s a good question and one that many are considering with hypnotherapy and NLP for weight loss in increasing in popularity.  What I find fascinating is that weight is only a problem for two categories of being: the most intelligent species on the earth (that's us!) and the animals we domesticate? 40% of UK citizens are now classed as overweight, 99.99% of the other creatures on this planet, providing their food is available, eat as much as they want, whenever they want and are never overweight. Why is it that other creatures on this earth are not prone to that never ending cycle of over eating and dieting? The reason for this bizarre phenomenon is simple -- other creatures on this earth do not eat emotionally. Many people are using food to manage their emotions, without being aware of it. Typical examples bored, frustrated, being angry or afraid, feeling “not good enough”

 

Paul McKenna in his recent “I can make you thin” campaign has changed the lives of thousands of people’s life’s who did once suffer with weight issues. His recent popularity and media success has lead to many researching the effectiveness of Hypnotherapy and NLP in weight loss, only to find that it really works, sceptics included. Like Paul McKenna, I use NLP and Hypnotherapy to help people change quickly. I have studied weight related issues for many years; I have worked with thousands of people and thoroughly enjoy the pleasure of seeing many people, regain control, lose weight and to keep it off for life.

 

Hypnosis, NLP, Timeline Therapy and other powerful modern psychological techniques, used within this ‘lose weight for life’ program are ways of by-passing the conscious mind to access your unconscious mind, where all of your automatic behaviours and habits exist. Hypnotherapy allows you to create new behaviours, thoughts and beliefs which easily allow you to transform into your ideal size and shape. One of the things which many past clients have found fascinating about this approach, is that they can enjoy eating, have a social life, and lose weight without feeling deprived whilst knowing they are in control. 

 

How it works

 

Years of trying different diets, the constant fight with food and your body, is a fast track to low self-esteem and feeling out of control. Being happy with your body, is about being happy with yourself. I understands this and will help you change.

 

As a result of engaging in the ‘Weight loss for life’ program, we will explore how and why you are having difficulty with your current relationship with food. You will learn and develop greater understanding how “Weight loss for life” can help you, eliminate that endless internal conflict. This means ending the frustration and guilt, that you feel when you know what you ‘should do’ ‘shouldn’t do’ 'ought' to do, but 'just can't do it'

 

Over a course of typically between four to six sessions, you will be encouraged and fully supported, as you develop and maintain, a healthy new relationship and attitude towards food and eating.  More importantly you will develop a healthy and kind relationship towards yourself. You will discover new and interesting ways to re-establish your body's natural weight. You will learn, that you are in control, as you let go of the old habits, and the rules of harsh weight loss diet regimes.  From the first session, your confidence and self-esteem will increase, as you begin to establish wonderful new habits and attitudes towards food and yourself.  You will discover a way of eating and responding to the needs of your body which work for you, creating your own rules.  You will incorporate, these new and simple ways to responding to the needs of your mind and body, allowing your body to naturally begin to lose weight.

 

Change the way you think about food is the route to long term weight loss.  Just imagine for a moment you
  

• Being in control of your eating.
