Jonathan’s Blog - the first post

Hi and welcome to the first of many blogs here at Calm Minds, Bramhall. I hope that you will find them enjoyable, challenging and occasionally controversial.

My name is Jonathan Lloyd and I am an integrative therapist offering counselling and hypnotherapy. I operate from bespoke, modern and confidential rooms here in Bramhall Cheshire, although, if you cannot get here, then I’ll visit your home throughout Greater Manchester and the North West.

I seem to spread my time quite evenly between counselling and hypnotherapy and some clients like to use both. I will also integrate other techniques including mindfulness, meditation, EFT and Emotional Transference.

I help people with a wide range of issues, including help with stopping smoking, losing weight, phobias, depression, anxiety, stress, relationships and any life events that have stopped you in your tracks.

I started my training in counselling over 5 years ago and I am just completing my Masters degree at Manchester University. My thesis has been around coping strategies and stress. I hope to go onto the taught doctorate programme later this year.

My hypnotherapy training was in Manchester and I qualified three years ago with an Advanced Diploma. I have been involved in many workshops and courses on therapy throughout the North West and I continue to train and develop.

I will be talking in future blogs about hypnotherapy and how it works with breaking subconscious cravings, fears and habits. I also want to shed light on serious issues of stress and anxiety, how relationships breakdown, addiction and depression.

I spend a lot of my time counselling clients as they come to terms with loss in its many forms, with particular emphasis on helping individuals with relationship problems.

To see me in action, please visit www.inexcess.tv where I am a regular posse member on an internet TV show. Series three starts 23rd March.
