There are in fact many different types of Psychotherapy, including Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Psycho Analysis, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Some of these methods do involve reliving the past, and as with counselling, can be a very long and drawn out process.

NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming can help you to make fast effective changes to the way that you think, feel, act and react. Neuro refers to the brain and nervous system. Linguistic refers to language, or how you communicate with yourself, and with others, both verbally and non-verbally. Programming refers to the programmes you are running in your mind.
NLP was developed in California in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, and based on the work of hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, Gestalt therapist Fritz Perls, and family therapist Virginia Satir. It was the first model of therapy to focus on positive change and moving forward, rather than looking back at the past and where problems had stemmed from. NLP is widely used to achieve self-development in personal life, and success in business. Life Coaching How many times have you heard yourself say...

Hypnotherapy Clinical Hypnotherapy is a fast and effective method of therapy which involves the use of hypnosis, enabling you to access the power of your subconscious mind and dissolve the blocked emotions and negative limiting beliefs and behaviours which lie behind your physical, mental and emotional problems.
No hypnotherapist has the power to ‘put you into a trance'. All hypnosis is actually self hypnosis, as it's essential that you allow yourself to enter this state of total relaxation, while being guided into it by your hypnotherapist.
During Hypnotherapy, whilst in a state of hypnosis, your subconscious mind is open to accepting positive suggestions and visualisations which will create new empowering beliefs and behaviours, helping you to make the changes you want to make and to reach your full potential.
Just like an iceberg, which is mostly hidden beneath the surface, around 90-95% of your mind is subconscious and hidden from your awareness. This part of your mind stores every memory of every experience you have ever had, and many of these past memories and childhood experiences are causing you to act and react in ways which seem irrational to your conscious mind. Hypnotherapy works by helping your subconscious mind to release unhelpful, outdated messages, and reach your full potential. Trading Since 2005
