More Solutions

While we specialise in slimming and stress solutions we can also treat a wide variety of other problems...

Stop Smoking

We have helped literally hundreds of people in Sheffield quit the smoking habit. For more on smoking cessation, using hypnosis and NLP. More on our stop smoking page.

Weight Control

Weight control & eating disorders are a common problem. We have helped many clients over the years, in Dronfield, Derbyshire and Harley Street, London. We have now developed a new concept in weight management, called 'SlimSolutions'. Further details can be found on the slim solutions page on this web site, which also explains how you can be a 'slimsolutions' therapist. For eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder, please contact us for an appointment.

Phobias

Phobias can devastating. Common phobias include fear of spiders, claustrophobia, fear of flying and needle phobia, but there are literally hundreds of phobias. For further information on treating fears and phobias, using hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT, EFT and EMDR, please visit our phobias page.

Anxiety

Anxiety often co-exists with depression, panic and stress. It can affect us both physically: causing palpitations, nausea, sweating and dizziness; and psychologically: resulting in excessive worries, poor concentration and sleep disorders. For details of how we can help with anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder, please visit our anxiety page.

Panic Attacks

Many clients in Sheffield, Chesterfield and surrounding areas have sought help for this. Panic attacks and panic disorder can be controlled with the right treatment. We find that a combination of hypnosis, emotional freedom technique and cognitive therapy are a fast and effective way of putting YOU back in control. More on our panic attacks page.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

This affects almost eight million people in the UK. It is a cluster of symptoms, which may include bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and pain. The condition usually begins in young people, usually below 40 and often in the teens. The symptoms may wax and wane, being particularly severe at sometimes and absent at others. Hypnosis has a proven success rate in the treatment of IBS. Carole is a member of the IBS register, which means she has undertaken specialist training in the treatment of this distressing disorder. More on our IBS page.

Depression

Depression can occur in many guises, whether reactive (caused by an event such as physical illness) or endogenous (no specific cause). At the end of 2004, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) published a report saying that CBT should be one of the preferred routes of treatment for mild to moderate depression. However, there is much evidence to show that both hypnotherapy and EMDR can be effective treatments for depression. More on our depression therapy page.

Sports Performance

Imagine yourself playing the perfect round of golf, scoring that elusive goal, competing in your chosen sport with confidence and competence. Using hypnosis and NLP, you can visualise your success in your sport before it happens, and this visualisation then lays down a template by which your mind and body will work coherently to achieve that success in reality. Our EMDR Peak Performance Protocol can further enhance your success. LifeSolutions have worked with many individuals, both professional and semi-professional, in this area. Whatever your chosen sport, you can find out more on our sports performance page.

Stress

Stress is one of the fastest-growing problems today. As stress management consultants, Carole & Alan are the experts you are looking for to help reduce and control your stress. Stress, if allowed to accumulate will find its way to the weakest points in the body's structure and eventually manifest as physical illness. Individuals under stress often develop unhelpful coping mechanisms, which further increase their stress. We receive many referrals from local employers for our package of stress management techniques. For further information, please visit our stress page.

Trauma

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing), along with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, are the two recognised treatments for trauma today. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder often occur after witnessing, or being involved in, a major traumatic event, such as a road traffic accident. It can also be present in victims of crime, including rape and abuse. Further details on how we treat Trauma and PTSD can be found at our trauma page.

Migraine

This is a very common problem affecting both adults and children. Most suffers from both migraine and headaches are aware that their symptoms worsen under stress. For effective treatment for all types of headaches, using a combination of hypnosis, stress management and EFT, please visit our migraine page.

Child-birth

Carole spent several years as a volunteer with the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) and later qualified as both a breastfeeding counsellor and an ante-natal teacher. She has since put these skills to good use in the teaching of hypnosis for childbirth and other related issues, such as unexplained infertility, pre-menstrual tension, post-natal depression and matters connected with adoption. (Childbirth page coming soon.)

Children

Carole also has many years experience in working with children and adolescents presenting with many of the problems experienced by adults, in addition to such child-related areas as bedwetting, separation anxiety and school phobia. More on our working with children page.

Obesity

Obesity is a growing problem in the western world and slimming and diets are a multi-million pound industry. Sadly, diets rarely work, and many can be downright dangerous! For help with weight loss, eating disorders (such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating) and related issues, please visit the slim solutions page.
