Adrian Jackson Therapy

Be yourself, because everybody else is taken” – Oscar Wilde I recognise that it takes great courage to take this first step. Sharing personal thoughts and feelings with a therapist may be something most people would never have dreamed of doing. I honour that courage by providing a confidential, nonjudgmental and compassionate service at my Northwood, Hillingdon hypnotherapy practice. Choosing the right therapist for you is tantamount to how successful therapy will be. It is only natural that you may want to know a little about me. From a young age I was always a keen artist. This led me to working in freelance graphic design. It seemed natural to me to pursue a creative path in life. However, I soon tired of this uninspiring work. Becoming more and more disillusioned, I began to wonder if I had taken the right path in life. Around the same time I discovered a love of reading psychology and became endlessly fascinated by how the human mind processed and functioned. The work of William James was especially eye-opening, especially his work on psychophysics (the study of the effect of physical processes upon the mental processes of an organism) Further reading over the years led me to Milton Hyland Erickson, now regarded as the godfather of modern-day hypnotherapy. It was through his lateral approach to literal problems that I began to wonder if I could use self-hypnosis to overcome my self-doubts, despondency and my limiting beliefs. It was his belief that everyone possesses the resources and capabilities within themselves to overcome ANY problem. I found this so inspiring.
