Steve Burgess C.M.H., C.Hyp., C.P.N.L.P., M.N.C.H.(Acc)

Founder of Hull's Natural Therapy Centre, Steve first became involved with hypnosis in the late 1980's when his father successfully gave up smoking using hypnotherapy.  He began practising privately in 1992 and trained with the President of the Institute of Curative Hypnotherapists.

A success story ...

Initially working almost exclusively with smokers, his success was such that he rapidly began to expand his therapeutic portfolio and is now recognised as one of the country's most successful and experienced clinical hypnotherapists, treating a wide range of conditions.  Steve receives many recommendations from satisfied ex-clients and GP's referrals.

At the forefront of modern methods

Over the years he has frequently attended courses in specialised aspects of hypnosis, particularly at the Proudfoot School of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy in Scarborough and with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis.  Steve believes strongly in remaining at the forefront of modern therapeutic methods and is a certified N.L.P. (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) practitioner.  Following specialist training in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome, he joined the UK Register of IBS Therapists.

He is a firm believer in ongoing training to improve his skills and each year commits himself to ongoing Continuing Professional Development.  In 2003 he received around a hundred hours of specialised training, including attending advanced courses run by Gary Craig (the creator of EFT) in California and Steve Andreas, one of the creators of NLP.

Steve became a member of the British Council of Hypnotist Examiners in 1992 and soon afterwards was granted professional membership of the California based Association for Past Life Research and Therapy Inc.
