'Changing Limiting Belief Systems'

A two-day Certificated course in 'The Rob Kelly Technique'TM

Everyone suffers from limiting beliefs at some time in their life, whether they simply suffer from a little self-doubt, have self-esteem issues, keep on getting ill, or suffer from full-blown ME or PVFS - this course will empower YOU to help them.

Question: What DID a clinically depressed GP, an ME sufferer, an obsessional social phobic, a child with leukemia, a cigarette smoker and a sufferer of a major neurological illness have in common?

Answer: They all had limiting beliefs that were stopping them from regaining their health, and living happy, successful lives.

These six REAL case - histories will be studied during this course...

The key to recognising and changing limiting beliefs, lays in understanding the different personality types and traits that create, distort and maintain them.

This ground-breaking course pulls together amazing new research, and Robs 20 years experience of treating people with limiting beliefs....

The Rob Kelly Technique, is a multi-faceted approach to training people to completely change their limiting beliefs - empowering them to take back control of their life.

A major part of this course will be orientated towards learining a six-session training program that can significantly help people with ME, post viral fatigue syndrome, anorexia, fibromyalgia, OCD and other similar disorders.

Learn the amazing 'Dream Technique' - where you can turn negative, limiting thoughts and beliefs into positive, empowering ones - in a matter of seconds..

Some of the topics covered on this brand-new course include:

- The 'Dream Technique'
- The HUGE role that having an 'external locus of control' plays on limited belief systems
- Understanding the formation of belief systems
- An in-depth look at the real causes of ME/PVS
- Delusional belief systems and how they differ from 'normal' belief
- The role of adrenaline and it's influence upon sufferers of ME/PVFS
- Grooming and 'normalised behaviour' in relation to distorted thinking
- How people maintain distorted belief systems in the face of overwhelming evidence.
- Field dependency in relation to self esteem and self confidence
- 'Deserving' - the huge role that 'believing that you deserve' plays in a persons ability to get better and move on from a stressed state.
- 'Reframing' - taking a different attitude and a different view towards past and resent experiences.
- Negativity, negative thoughts and the inability to perceive feeling better
- The positive use of 'Coue's Law' and how to create positive change.
- A comparison with 'The Lightening Process', The Perrin Technique, Mickel therapy, Reverse Therapy and other interventions that claim some success in treating these conditions
- Real case histories will be discussed and presented.
- A step by step guide to The Rob Kelly Technique.
- Why ME is NOT 'all in the mind', and should be treated the same a any other illness or disease.

During this course you will learn how to quickly help sufferers of ME/PVF and other similar disorders. You will be taught techniques that promote positive thinking, and that will help clients to completely review and realign many of their negative attitudes and behaviours

The Techniques tought on this course can be used in conjunction with other therapies and are suitable for hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP, CBT, Life Coaching, Counselling, Mentoring and Coaching etc etc

This certificated course is a module in the IAPH Advanced Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis and Pure Hypnoanalysis.

The seminar will be presented in a dynamic, challenging, humerous and exciting way. Rob Kelly has been in full-time practice as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist for twenty years, and has amassed a huge amount of experience in treating people with limiting belief systems. This Advanced two-day course is all about changing those limiting beliefs.

Some comments from previous course attendees:

I can honestly say that this is the best course I've attended. It was truly inspirational and I came away feeling really enabled and confident. I started putting the technique into practice with clients straight away with excellent results. This technique has really given me the skills to help not only clients with M.E. etc, but so many others. The course content was easy to understand and put into practice. My true 'light bulb' moment came the first time I tried the technique with a client and had a real breakthrough after their last couple of sessions had been spent going round in proverbial circles. If you only do one course this year this has to be it! Thanks again Rob.

I have just returned from Rob Kelly's Limiting Beliefs seminar and I would recommend it to any therapist that deals with clients who present with any debilitating illness.  The weekend was great fun and most informative.  I learned a great deal about how to help clients who are seemingly 'stuck' in a merry go round of chronic illness such as ME, PVS and CFS.  The course is geared towards self help for these people and postive thinking. You will learn so much about the typical personality traits of such clients and how to help them deal with their illness and help them change their belief system.  Rob is a dynamic and innovative individual with a presentation style which is unique.
Pat Harland MIAPH - www.harlandhypnotherapy.co.uk

I just wanted to say how truly inspirational I found the course at the weekend. I feel that as a therapist I now have a fantastic additional tool in my arsenal to assist clients. The delivery was, as always, exceptional and really left me wanting to know more about the symptoms and effective treatment of ME, PVF and CFS.
I literally started using it with clients the next day.
Cheers Rob
James Holmes - www.hampshire-health.co.uk

The two day residential course for 'Changing limiting beliefs' was, for me extemely useful. I have two clients, who although they had undergone a successful analysis were still questioning some aspects of their presenting problems. I was able to apply the procedure I learned on the course for these people, resulting in their learning to check and understand more clearly, their own thought process. This meant they had a greater understanding of self and therfore more control in aiding their own recovery.
The underlying characteristics of some personalities, and quite rightly so, predispose them to question and analyse their thoughts in a critical way.  This new procedure can help them to stop 'being mean' to themselves and to use their ability in a positive rather than a negative way.
It is a really useful and simple way to help me to help my clients find relief, and this can only be good.
Erica Walsh - hypnotherapist

Although the course was developed with ME suffers in mind, I am applying the techniques with many other problems that I am being consulted for, with excellent results.  As with all your courses, the weekend was not only informative and interesting but great fun too.
Philip Blake - www.hypnotherapy.je

I just wanted to say thank you for the Changing Beliefs course - it's filled in a gap in our therapy that meant we couldn't help clients who were unable (usually because they were'nt motivated) to go through hypnoanalysis and given us a fantastic new way to get round the hurdles and resistance put up by analysis clients too.
The two days were certainly challenging to someone who believes so wholeheartedly in analysis, but it just made sense and its been helping me since I came back to work to really get through to clients who might otherwise have either left therapy or not managed to resolve their problems.
I'm already incorporating the techniques when I'm working with children and young adults too - one area that I felt we were'nt doing enough at times; with really good results.
I'd say this was just a very important course and will be coming back for a refresher and to pick your brains.
Sue Wilson - www.bedfordhypnosis.co.uk

Just to say officially that the workshop on Changing Belief Systems was really great. I am finding that I can use the concepts we covered on  a regular basis : during initial consultations, for suggestion therapy, and as a final debriefing after a course of pure hypnoanalysis.  Tomorrow I plan to incorporate elements of it into a Blowaway  ............... love the plank walking !!!
Thank you Rob for your dedication, hard work and inspirational weekends............... humour's pretty good too.
Julia Chrisfield - Hypnotherapist
 
When I first attended Rob’s course I was a bit sceptical on whether the simplicity of
his unique methods would actually work in real life. However I was proven to be wrong! They just didn’t work ... they totally transformed the life of one client, who was totally obsessed with negativity, yet within a few days of applying the Rob Kelly Changing Limiting Beliefs Technique™, she is now living a very happy, positive life AND has totally turned her life around! So, thanks for sharing your unique methods ..if they can convert a sceptic like me they can help any therapist train their most negative clients to become more powerful in their choices!”
Cheers mate ...

Presented by Gary Foster MIAPH

MOST hypnotherapists fail because of one fatal flaw … their inability to create a profitable business with their sought after skills. In fact most treat what they’re doing as a hobby and ‘play at it’ rather than become serious about it … the first indicator is the level of fees they charge and how they present themselves!
If you’re fed up at not being able to bring in more clients and create a business that will give you the income you deserve, then this workshop is for you. If you’re mystified at this thing called ‘marketing’ then worry no more. In just one day, Gary will strip away all the jargon and will work with you to develop your own ‘hypnotherapy practice’.

Here’s a taster on what you’ll discover …
- How to raise yourself above all of the other hypnotherapists in your area to become the ‘known expert’
- How to charge the right fees
- The secrets on writing adverts that attract potential clients that are a delight to take through therapy
- How to write press releases that get printed
- The brutal truth about brochures and flyers … this one will really make you sit up and listen! Get this wrong and you might as well wave goodbye to your business
- How to use your business cards as your ‘silent sales force’
- Why it’s important to have a marketing communication calendar AND if you don’t have one now, how to put one together which’ll reap in the rewards again and again, plus....you’ll also get a jam-packed 59 page manual that is full of hints, tips and strategies designed to grow
your business.

Easy Website optimisation for Therapists
Presented By Rob Kelly FIAPH

Question: What is the easiest and quickest way to attract lots more clients?
Answer: By getting thousands more visitors to your website!

This one-day training course has been designed specifically for Therapists who have a website, (or would like one) and would like that website to rank highly, ie, appear at the top of the screen on the major search engines like google, alta vista, msn etc.

Most potential clients will only look at the first page of results once they have searched for ‘hypnotherapist in Leeds’ or ‘stop smoking in London’ etc. …. You need your website to be on this first page of website listings if you want lots of visitors to view your web pages.

You might have the best looking website in the world,
but it is useless unless people visit it!

There are just under TWELVE MILLION web-pages on ‘hypnosis’ on Google. Therefore, having an interesting, colourful, information-packed website is NO GOOD TO YOU AT ALL unless the public can find it by using one of the major search-engines.

During this dynamic course, Rob Kelly (a hypnotherapist, and expert in search-engine optimisation) will ‘optimise’ (make it search-engine friendly) one of the attending delegates websites, and turn it into a high-ranking, easy to find, search-term-specific, client-finder!

Rob will talk you through the whole process as he does it, so that you can optimise your own site at the same time. All Rob’s courses are presented in a fun & empowering manner.
This course will equip you with all the skills necessary to make all of your web pages HIGHLY VISIBLE to the public. Learn how to write the very best web pages, and optimise them for best performance, including: which words and pictures to use, the right ratio of words-to-pictures, the right topics to write pages on, ambiguous spelling, links to other websites, keyword meta-tags, keywords meta-title-tags, description tags, alt-tags, pictures, etc, etc.

In a recent survey of 250 hypnotherapists, 92% stated they attracted more than 80% of their clients via their website Ensure your website is getting as many visitors as possible!

Bring your website with you... If you already have one – either on your laptop or on paper, and we will work through it with you during the day. You will learn how to change/update your pages in order to make it ‘search-engine friendly’.

You DO NOT need to know anything about websites or search engines to benefit from this course

During the course, I will optimise one of the attending delegates websites, and turn it into a high-ranking, easy to find client-finder.

There is free internet access at the hotel, so you can optimise your website and have it uploaded to your server before the seminar is even finished!
I will teach you how to create the most effective domain and page names, including ‘doorway’ and ‘landing’ pages. I will also explain how search engines work, and how they rank different websites and web pages: why are some always in ‘the top ten’, and while others cannot be found, anywhere….

Why pay £1000's to somebody to do this for you, when you can do it MUCH BETTER yourself, and keep your website on top by spending just an hour a month on it.`

You will receive a purpose-written (plain-English!) handout detailing EXACTLY what you need to do to get the very best results from your website. An easy-to-read step-by-step guide will take you through the whole process.

Don’t worry if you are not ‘web-literate’ or ‘computer-literate’ – you can prepare the right wording and tags for your website on paper, and give this to your web-master to upload for you.

Question: What is the biggest mistake to make in marketing yourself?
Answer: To assume that whoever built your website has optimised it effectively... most web designers DO NOT KNOW VERY MUCH AT ALL about website optimisation!
If you had your website created/designed by someone else, it is very likely that it is very poorly optimised - Why not call Rob now, and together you can check over your site?

easy search engine optimisation programme website

Some comments from previous course attendees:

"My knowledge of computers, websites, software and the like you can pretty well write on the back of a postage stamp. After your course, I've come home, rewritten sections of my website, placed appropriate keywords on each page, even uploaded all this information back to my host server, gotten google to have a look at it. Before your course, I could have done none of the above. Thank you so much for the course, I have no doubt this will benefit my business".
Philip Blake, Hypnotherapist. Philip's Website

This course is a MUST for anyone wanting their website to be the main source for attracting clients to their Practice/Clinic. Rob explains clearly and without the normal computer " gobblygook" how to use the tricks of the trade to ensure your website is properly optimised. The opportunity to ask questions at all levels will ENSURE that new business finds YOU as opposed to your competitors. There should be no choice - you need to attend this Course ! You also get a concise Handout from the course as well for reference purposes - find out when the next Course is... and book !!
Greg Coyne, Hypnotherapist Greg's Website

Prior to the course if you typed 'Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy Dartford' in google my website came up on the second or third page. After some minor changes learnt on the course, and some patience while google crawled my site again, if you type in either 'stop smoking dartford', 'quit smoking dartford', or 'give up smoking dartford' without any reference to hypnosis it now comes up as the first entry out of over 40,000 websites. Believe me when I say I am no web developer!!! As a result when the smoking ban came round in July the course ended up paying for itself 20 times over!!!
Richard Brent, Hypnotherapist Richard's Website

Hi, I just want to report that following the workshop I did with Rob on optimisation. I am thoroughly enjoying working on my own web pages rather than paying large sums of money to "experts".
The course opened my eyes and gave me the confidence to get in there and make it happen.
As a result I have moved from page 8 or 3 depending on the subject search, to page 1 in every topic I have worked on. It is often the top site on page 1 too. Enquiries are up as a result.
I would thoroughly recommend Rob's workshop to anyone who is still struggling to get to grips with this fascinating subject. I hope he will run another!!
John Hudson, Hypnotherapist - John's website

If a technophobe like me can find this stuff interesting and easy then anyone with their own website will! It's great to maximise the potential of my previously invisible website, which after all is my main "shop window". Thanks Rob for turning me onto something I was so reluctant to do myself. It's both saved me £100's in fees to an SEO company and my enquiries have doubled even after only two weeks!

easy search engine optimisation programme website

B&B is available at the Hotel for £35, per person, per night

This course is written and presented by Rob Kelly, a hypnotherapist and trainer who has helped over two thousand victims of sexual abuse, over an eighteen year period.

The course will be based entirely around REAL case histories: some of which will be presented live on the day. Every delegate will receive comprehensive notes, an attendance certificate, and proof of 14 hours CPD. The course will be presented in a dynamic, colourful, and where possible, light-hearted manner, in order to facilitate a good group dynamic, and ease of learning.

To work successfully with the victims of sexual abuse, you must first
understand why and how abusers manage to abuse, and why they (often) get away with it undetected for many years.

This knowledge will help enable you to fully comprehend the very
powerful effects of GROOMING, DISTORTED THINKING, and
NORMALISATION – behaviours that often ‘trap’ the victims of abuse,
preventing them from being able to resolving their issues, and ‘unlock’
their own destructive behaviour traits.

This course will equip you with a good working knowledge and understanding of the issues surrounding Sexual Abuse; from the victim’s, perpetrators and therapeutic perspectives.

Some of the topics discussed will be:

• Why men (mostly) rape and abuse women and children
• The different types off abuse, and different types of abuser
• How an abuser chooses, grooms and abuses his victims
• How it feels to be abused, and the defence mechanisms and symptoms that can be produced by abuse.
• How to help an abuse 'victim' to take control of their life and live happily - which interventions work best and quickest?
• How to protect your family from sexual predators
• Understanding 'Victimology'
• Types of abuse
• Signs & Symptoms of abuse
• Fear/Denial/Guilt/Shame Dissociation & Resistance
• Helping an abused client
• A sociological perspective
• Repression & Survival .........Is there a 'Victim Cycle'?
• What is Grooming?
• Why it is now a criminal offence?
• What purpose does it serve?
• Different experiences of grooming
• The 'favourite uncle' syndrome
• Collusion Institutionalised grooming (church, social work, teaching, police)
• How grooming will impact upon any later attempts to resolve conflict surrounding the abuse (i.e. therapy)
• Profiling the sexual offender.
• Why do people abuse?
• What triggers an assault?
• Can paedophiles be successfully treated?
• 'Career Paedophiles'
• The 'Offender Cycle'
• Female offenders
• Why is it that 99% of abusers are victims, and yet very few victims become abusers?
  

"I can heartily recommend this two-day training course: Rob Kelly is a rare breed .... not only is he a highly-skilled and knowledgeable clinician, he is also a superb presenter who possess the ability to impart his experience to others in a truly inspiring fashion."
Dr Mark Pummel MBBS MRCGP FRCPsych

Please beware that the course will go into depth about many emotionally-charged subjects, and delegates who are not used to discussing such subjects openly, may find the training quite challenging. It is for this reason that we also suggest delegates take up the special B&B price at the hotel (only £35 per night) in order to unwind and ‘de-brief’ on the Saturday evening.

This is a Module of the IAPH Advanced Diploma Programme - Successfully complete 8 modules, and you will be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis

Rob Kelly and his associates have developed this course specifically for therapists and those professionals working with abuse victims and perpetrators. They bring a wealth of experience, having worked for many years within both statutory and non-statutory sectors, providing services to children (victims and perpetrators) and adults (survivors, non-abusing parents and perpetrators). Their own professional training has been provided by nationally recognised experts including The Lucy Faithful Foundation, and Ray Wyre and Associates.

Rob and his colleagues provide a range of consultancy and training services (social care, management, hypnotherapy, forensic hypnosis, professional supervision and communication & negotiation skills), and they also provide therapeutic interventions for individuals and small groups.

Some comments from previous course attendees:

Rob, this has to be one of the best courses that I have ever attended (and I have attended a lot of courses!). . . .the content was packed full of information and this difficult subject was presented in a down to earth, easy to understand, light hearted manner that made it more comfortable and easier to take in, absorb and learn. . . I was amazed and impressed at how well you treated everyone, lunch on both days, drink at the bar, mini cabs, night on the town.  I think that you should feel proud of yourself for the way you operate and the way you treat your members and the way that you treated us.  We will certainly attend other courses with you, if that's ok and thankyou again Rob for a first class course.
David Birch ICHP, Hypnotherapist

Once again another superb workshop run by Rob!  His style is entertaining and hugely informative. I have worked with quite a number of victims of abuse and this workshop has given me a much greater insight into the types of abuser and how they groom both the victim and those around him/her. All of this will help me enormously when working with my clients to help them to make sense of how they were groomed to help them resolve their conflict and take control of their lives. It will also be very much easier to spot any grooming should it ever happen around my friends or family. A great workshop – one you really must attend!
Penny Albertella, Hypnotherapist - Penny's Website

A great course seminar which is invaluable for a therapist wishing to deepen his or her understanding of the behavioural and nurturing issues which need to be addressed when dealing with the effects of the abuse of children.
Terry Shadwell, Hypnotherapist - Terry's Website

The sex abuse course was informative, engaging, thorough and better yet applicable to my day to day work in my own practice. Rob’s style of presentation is class participatory, approachable and really, really easy going. It was enlightening to get the perpetrator’s perspective / pathology as it can be difficult to comprehend how abuse is even possible, by what can be otherwise normal and lovely people. There was a wonderful, open and friendly atmosphere among the participants. We were all encouraged to go out on the first evening to unwind – which shows extra care and understanding to make sure everybody is OK with what is being presented. I never knew I could sit through two days of sex abuse material and have so much fun. It is both a testament to Rob’s open and humorous presentation skills and also to pure hypnoanalysis itself. Having just completed the therapy myself I was not ‘triggered’/upset in any way, and given that every area of abuse was covered, this was a wonderful test of the effectiveness of the therapy.
Ailish McGrath, Hypnotist and Hypnotherapist - Ailish's Website

Great course, a real must attend for all therapists to gain a greater understanding of this subject, and considering the content, presented in a light hearted manner.
What really stands out is the associations and its members who are all so friendly and supportive and make everyone feel so safe and comfortable.  If I had to sum up the weekend in one word I would say "comfortable".
Nicky Delacy, IAPH Student Hypnotherapist

A potentially very heavy and serious subject was once again delivered in a light and manageable way. This enabled us to absorb the information, knowledge and experience available to us over two days. This course introduces us into the world of the abuser. More importantly, it gives us a vital understanding of the victims experiences, without which it would be very difficult for us to help them.
Kieran Fitzpatrick, Hypnotherapist - Kieran's Website

I would like to thank Rob Kelly for providing the "Sexual Abuse and Sexual Offending" course. While this topic is very serious, Rob's knowledgeable presentation was delivered succinctly, compassionately and with a sense of humour that in no way detracted nor demeaned the topic. I now understand sexual abuse in a much more comprehensive way as the focus was not solely on the victims, but on the pscychology of abusers. This one day course is vital to the therapist's better understanding of their clients and I highly recommend attending  future courses.
Ron van der Holt, Hypnotherapist - Ron's website

Since attending this course I would doubt anyone to be fully equipped as a therapist without knowledge gleaned from this. To fully understand the mind set of an abuse victim, it is essential to also understand the mindset of the abuser and the impact this will have on therapy. I feel better prepared now to help the client who has survived either  physical, emotional or sexual  abuse as this course covers every aspect.
Caroline Hamblin, Hypnotherapist - Caroline's website

This course is an essential professional development course for all therapists and councillors involved in dealing with the results of abuse. It gives a greater understanding of the distorted thinking and patterns of behaviour of abusers and the effects on the abused. The material is powerful and challenging but ultimately leads to a shift in perspective that can only be of benefit to all who attend and I highly recommend it.
Keith Jones, Hypnotherapist - Keith's Website

I attended Robs excellent course ,dealing with sexual abuse and it,s perpetrators. I not only found it interesting and informative in the extreme. But a cathartic experience, and an invaluable tool for achieving self understanding.As the grooming methods of abusers were explained, it became very easy to apply to ones personal experience some of the methods described.
Because of this course I feel totally confident in my dealings with the unfortunate victims of the many kinds of sexual and personal abuse.
Danny Nuttall, Hypnotherapist - Danny's Website

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the course, it’s always good to meet the gang and it goes without saying that (as usual) I  got a great deal out of the experience, as there is something new to learn each and every time. The sense of community among the members is truly valuable.
Brian Brown, Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist - Brian's Website

I think this course is an absolute "MUST" for all therapists, regardless of the type of therapy they practice.  Less that one week on and I have already put the insights gained on the course to good use in the therapy room. Having been in practice for a couple of years now and done lots of reading around the subject, I thought I had a reasonable grasp of how Grooming and Sexual Abuse may affect therapy, but it soon became clear my previous understanding was somewhat limited to say the least. Although the subject matter of this course is emotionally challenging, I came away with a really positive feeling that I would be able to assist my clients much more effectively when they are resolving and facing up to abusive experiences of the past. Not only will I be booking myself on more of your courses Rob, I will most definetly be attending this course again.
Richard Brent, Hypnotist and Hypnotherapist - Richard's Website

• Why is ‘FA’ so successful, where other interventions fail?
• The many ways that both the client (and therapist) can sabotage therapy
• The effects of denial, dissociation, disavowel and grooming upon therapy

Rob Kelly FIAPH will present this dynamic and empowering course, which is open to any practicing therapists, or therapists in training. The content of the course will be quite explicit at times, and traumatic events may well be discussed in great depth.

Some comments from previous course attendees:

Attending the recent "The Secrets of Free Association Course" has provided me with an in-depth understanding of what FA means and how to guide a client through the process. The unique live demonstations were superb and as a new student, all my questions regarding this topic were answered. It was presented in a very sensitive and down to earth manner by Rob Kelly, who in my opinion, is an excellent presenter and captures the audience's attention completely throughout the two days.
Anne Costelloe, Pinner - Successful Hypnotherapy Student

Hi Rob
Just a note to say how brilliant your recent 'free association' course was. The course was presented in a professional and humorous manner making it easy to understand and easy to absorb. All in all a brilliant course and I'm looking forward to attending more course with you in the future. Keep it up mate, all the very best
Tony Clayton - Successful Hypnotherapy Student

I attended the free association seminar hoping that it would help me to get a better understanding of this unique therapy that we in the iaph practice.  We were able to listen to tapes, and hear how Rob Kelly gets the best possible results from clients.  Also, being a volunteer I was able to experience first hand the way to make sure each client is making clear links to progress with their therapy.  I would strongly recommend that any therapist or student hoping to become a therapist go on this amazing two day course, and to get the maximum benefit be a volunteer.  Since going to this, my clients have increased, my results with clients have increased, and my confidence as a therapist has also increased.
Susan Chetwynd, Hypnotherapist

I've been practicing free association for a long time. Even so, I found the course really worthwhile. Taking some your sessions apart and looking at what you did and why was really helpful. I think what
was really good was that you didn't take the easy clients but the difficualt ones, which is where we all struggle. I don't doubt the course has helped me with my clients and I look forward to attending
a further course.
Philip Blake, Hypnotherapist - Philip's Website

Whether you are an established practitioner or a "newbie" you need to attend this course. Rob not only produces his usual fantastic handout and of course his usual great presentation and banter but also those attending have the opportunity to see at first hand how Rob carries out his methods of 'Pure' Free Association as he demonstrates on a few unsuspecting members of the audience just how it should be done. By watching at first hand you WILL come away from the Course and change and improve the way you are using and demonstrating Free Association with your Clients. With
the opportunity to ask any questions and have them clinically explained this course is one of the BEST! You cant afford NOT to go on this course.
Greg Coyne - Hypnotherapist

A unique insight into the subtle ways of helping a client through analysis. My success rate at getting clients through therapy in under 10 sessions has more than doubled! No more problems with resistance - the 'brick walls' are demolished before my clients ever know they are there. Understanding the pace and structure of an ideal session has helped me to become a better therapist.

Stop Smoking Easily - with 'The Rob Kelly Method'

The unique training program - written and presented By Rob Kelly FIAPH

Learn how to stop 95% of smokers - in just one session!
Learn from a GENUINE expert in this field who has stopped over 6350 smokers.

During this packed one-day course, you will learn EVERYTHING that you need to know
in order to be able to stop 95% of the Smokers who walk through your door
in just one hour-long session.

The Rob Kelly Method is an amazingly powerful technique that is able to completely change a smokers belief system - into that of a non-smoker. Like most people I firmly believed I smoked because I was addicted to it - it didn't help that I was also a Doctor!
I had smoked solidly for 18 years and was in Rob's clinic for under an hour....
I haven't smoked, or wanted to smoke, ever since.

That was six years ago. Now, I use the Rob Kelly Method with my own patients
- I have never witnessed a more successful anti-smoking technique.
Dr James Froggatt Phd.



A real session will be demonstrated before your very eyes and then dissected so you can understand the component parts. Stopping someone smoking permanently is a lot more involved than just giving them some suggestion therapy, and keeping your fingers crossed!
Rob will explain (in plain English):

• How to attract smokers.
• How to filter out the smokers who you DON'T want to take on.
• How to help the smoker to overcome their ERRONEOUS BELIEF that they are addicted to it.
• Why smoking is THE BEST habit in the world to have (no joke!).
• That motivation (or willpower) is directly related to incentive (or benefit) and why this is the major reason most smokers fail to stop.
• The cycle of dysfunctional behaviour and how it relates to smoking.
• Why most smokers trying to quit are operating under a delusional belief system that continually undermines their attempts to quit.
• How visualisation can keep the client feeling positive and focussed.
• Why smokers are happy to pay £250 for a one-hour 'stop smoking easily' session .
• Why the client's firm belief that they are a non-smoker is so critical.
• How to SUPERCHARGE rapport and trust.
• How to overcome cognitive dissonance (the feeling that 'something is not quite right').
• The difference between a Smoker, and Ex-Smoker and a Non-Smoker..
• Recognise which smokers to NOT take on.. different personality types
• How to word the perfect suggestions.and much more.
  

Rob's method is unlike any other, and was developed over a 17 year period. Rob's background is as a Pure Hypnoanalyst - and this has given him a unique insight into the human psyche. 'The Method' fuses a selection of different psychological and analytical techniques in order to achieve a complete change in the clients belief system. It's only with a change in the belief system that permanent success can be guaranteed. Rob alone has stopped over 6350 smokers with his method, and has trained more than 150 other therapists. Together they have stopped tens of thousands....

Rob will prove to you, why having a single one-hour session is far more successful than having many sessions, an extra long session, or stopping over a period of weeks!


A comprehensive 85 page Rob Kelly Method - Support Pack is included in the cost of this course. This pack is a written account of everything Rob will teach you on the day of the course, including: the best inductions to use, the actual suggestions to give, how to run the session, how to change your clients belief system, what to say to your client, examples to give, and over 40 pages of independent research into smoking, tobacco, habits, advertising etc etc.

FREE TO DELEGATES ON THIS COURSE ' A SIXTY MINUTE SUBLIMINAL 'EASY SMOKING CESSATION' CD ' TO USE IN YOUR CONSULTING ROOM.

The media, and hence your local population, judge a hypnotherapist's skill and expertise by how good he or she is at stopping people smoking. Make sure you are very good at it!

Some comments from previous course attendees, and previous clients of
'The Rob Kelly Method'

Without a shadow of a doubt Rob Kelly has created the most insightful, thorough and powerful smoking cessation method available. His training and presentations are second to none driven by his desire for the success of his students and ultimately their clients. To the best of my knowledge I have 100% success rate in smoking cessation for my clients due to Rob's teachings and techniques. It's very satisfying when new clients cross your door after being referred from your previouss successful clients. I'm so looking  forward to the latest updated course from Rob for a World Class smoking cessation package.
Barry Kieran, hypnotherapist - Barrys website

There are so many stop smoking courses out there...stop smoking seminars, stop smoking tapes, stop smoking books, stop smoking meetings, stop smoking groups. The difference with the Rob Kelly method is that the therapy is not about just stopping smoking, but actually changing the way you think and so becoming a NON-SMOKER - not a smoker that has stopped. This approach, this fundamental change in belief system from smoker to non-smoker, is what makes his course, and ultimately the sessions that I do for my smoking clients using his method and techniques, so incredibly successful time after time. I have used his method now for years.
Richard Parsons - Richards website

Hi Chris, One week on still a non smoker thanks to you, passed your number on to all my friends. Had no cravings BRILLIANT.
Kind Regards. Matt Laraway
Therapist: Chris Bell

I felt brilliant after the session.  I felt really good.  I felt free.  It felt fantastic to be a non-smoker.  I threw my cigarettes away and chucked my ashtray in the bin.  I know hypnosis works.  I've even taken upcycling again now that I have more energy.  D.S from Sittingbourne
Therapist: Becki Bedford

As a hypnotherapist, the one thing we all need is success with our clients, particularly in the field of helping people to stop smoking, as this is the area we are often judged by and receive referrals from. Your course is very comprehensive and provides everything any therapist could possibly need to know to successfully help clients stop smoking.  Even the most experienced therapist will find elements of this course that will benefit them.
Philip Blake: Philips website

After my one session with Gary I have not even so much craved a cigarette and have not felt compelled to return to the nicotine trap. I was a 20 a day smoker for 17 years, so if I can stop, so can you! Jane Woods - Bedford
Therapist: Gary Foster

The training seminar Rob does for Stop Smoking Easily is one of the best seminars I have attended. Rob's unique sense of humour and his ability to get the message across whilst having fun is paramount to the successful learning achieved on the day.
Pattie Harland: Patties website

Rob's course was invaluable in helping me in my practice, to know exactly how to assess and motivate a client to quit smoking in 1 session, easily. Thanks Rob. The course was excellent
Ron Vander Holt: Rons website

A brilliant course! It will upturn your thinking about smoking; why it is not an addiction and why it is so easy to be a non-smoker. A must-do workshop!
Penny Albertella - Pennys website

Hi Greg I would like to say a BIG thank you for giving me the confidence, the willpower, and making me believe I could actually become a non-smoker. A month has now passed and I am proud to say that it is the best thing that has happened to me for ages. I have just come back
from a holiday, my first as a non-smoker and it felt so great not stressing and wanting a cigarette before getting on the plane - it never even crossed my mind. I am now trying hard to get all my smoking friends to come and see you. Thanks again, Kevin
Therapist: Greg Coyne

Dear Rob, Thank you so much for allowing me to be a guinea pig at your smoking cessation course. Even before we got the hypnosis bit I knew I was done. It has been nearly 3 years and I can honestly say I know I will never have another cigarette. Thanks to your method I know I’m finally over them!
Thanks again, Ayse.

It's been an extremely busy stressful time at work. I've been out at weekends and haven't even considered a smoke. To say it has been easy is an understatement! Paul.
Therapist: Philip Blake

Rob’s smoking cessation seminar provides all the tools and know how to get effective results with smokers who wants to quit. My success rate is extremely high thanks to the techniques he’s taught me.
Emily Heale - Emilys website

I couldn’t quite find the words to explain it but I did feel somehow ‘elated’ and, protest over, now felt ready to embark on my new life as a non-smoker. The fog had been lifted and I now saw smoking in totally different light. This stupid habit had been controlling my life and making feel a worthless failure every time I succumbed to another cigarette. Just what was so special about a rolled up bit of tobacco? Diane Day - reporter for the Lurgan Mail.
Therapist - Stevie Chan

Dear Andy,Thank you so much for helping me become 'a non smoker'.
I felt confident straight away that I wouldn't be reaching for that pack and so it was, SO much easier than I had anticipated. Since then 6 weeks have past and I can proudly think of myself as a non smoker, I feel so much better for having changed my life, I feel 'in charge' at last! Thanks Andy for your help. Mrs K R Horslen
Therapist - Andy Sharman

Many thanks for your recent 'Stop Smoking Easily' course that I attended. I am now using only your method in my clinic and my success rates have sky-rocketed!
The course was enjoyable and presented in a manner that allowed the information to be easily absorbed.  I would heartily recommend this course to anyone serious about helping their clients to permanently give up the fags. Thanks again Rob.
Liz Hogon, Hypnotherapist - Liz's Website

I'm convinced that Rob Kelly's smoking cessation course is one of a kind. No other course can possibly compete with this one! It has everything you need to ensure a truly impressive success rate.
Andy Sharman - Andys website

I am still smoke free and got very drunk last night but was not tempted at all so that’s good. Don’t feel deprived at the moment and don’t have any cravings....so far so good!!! Vanessa.
Therapist: Philip Blake

Dear Rob
Twelve months ago today I came to you to quit smoking. I am delighted to say that I have not touched a cigarette since. Thank you so much for releasing me from this bad habit. The money I spent on your session has been "saved" many times over since I saw you!!.
Best regards, Martyn, a non-smoker.

Since stopping smoking in September 2007, not only have I felt better and been healthier BUT (also) richer! I now do things on time not after my fag!" Sean Jones - Bedford
Therapist: Bedford Hypnosis

Hypnotherapists, this is your bread and butter, this is the one that Joe public judges you on, so you had better be good at it! And believe me this course will help you become very, very good at it, and how do I know this? Its been four years since I attended it, and guess what? I haven't smoked since, and the best thing is, I didn't even need the hypnosis part. Smoking is a behaviour, and to try and change a behaviour without changing the belief behind it is very difficult, but when you change the belief the rest is easy!  
Stephen Chan, Hypnotherapist - Stephen's Website

Brilliant Rob. I saw you five months ago now, and I haven't touched one since. Superb!
Janet Rogers, Cambridge

It was I think 3 years ago that I went on your couse so I have helped 100's of clients since, using your method - with a 95% success rate for people wanting to give up smoking, and a 100% success rate on people giving up cocaine.
Rebecca Bedford, hypnotherapist

Unbelievable! I never thought in a million years I could give up smoking - and I did it so easily! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Karen Stevenson, Haverhill

Hypnotherapists, this is your bread and butter, this is the one that Joe public judges you on, so you had better be good at it! And believe me once you attend Rob's course you become very, very good at it, and here's the proof. It’s been four years since I attended it and I haven't smoked since, and the best thing is, I wasn't even hypnotised
…what Rob taught us just made sense!
Stephen Chan, hypnotherapist - Stephens website

Thank you so much. I really am a non-smoker. I have not touched a cigarette since and I know that I won’t again. Thank you so much for releasing me from this bind and the bad habit that smoking had become. Worth every penny.
Thank you again & again! - Natalie - a non-smoker.
Therapist: Ayse Banbridge

I would like to just make a comment on Rob Kelly's "Stop Smoking Easily with the Rob Kelly Method". I have been involved with Hypnotherapy since 1996, and thanks to my fantastic training, have always prided myself on my good success rate. However in 2003 I attended Rob's training seminar.... WOW! It's not just easy for the client, as a hypnotherapist utilising Rob's methods has seen a dramatic increase in my clients but also my success rate. It is that easy! I can honestly say that I believe there to be nothing in the area of Smoking Cessation around today, that comes anywhere near the success of the Rob Kelly Method. I now ONLY use Rob's techniques with my Smoking Cessation clients. It is a superb course.
Mark Phoenix Murphy - Marks website

I'm sorry for doubting you Rob! I now 100% believe I was not addicted to nicotine or smoking - sorry I was such a pain in the arse!
Clare Mowbray, Cambridge

Rob Kelly has the unique ability at being able to explain the process of helping someone change from being an adamant smoker to someone who's happy to live the rest of their life as a natural non-smoker. His techniques 'just work!
Sue Wilson, Hypnotherapist - Sues website

Thanks for your help with my stop smoking session. Came home, threw all evidence of smoking in the bin and have not had a fag since. Found it pretty easy to be honest. Must admit, was a little cynical about it upon leaving the session with you, but something most definitely happened during our session as I would never have thought it could be this easy... Adam Spillings, Milton Keynes
Therapist: Emily Heale

Thanks Rob - I haven't even thought about it, not alone had one!
Mrs Brownhill, Cambridge

After smoking 40 a day for 40 years I thought I would never stop, and would end up going the way of my Granddad and Father - lunc cancer. Out of desperation I tried the Rob Kelly Method, and haven't smoked a single cigarette ever since. It has completely changed my life and my family is so grateful. Thanks Rob
Dave Barry, Cambridge


Hi Barry, Just wanted to say a big thank you, I have not smoked now since the 14/4/08, and I am now expecting my second baby in Jan which is great as I have not smoked at all in this pregnancy. Thanks a million, long may it continue and also my partner followed suit and quit as I had. I will pass your name on to anyone that I know who smokes but wants to quit. Louise
Therapist: Barry Kieran

Having undertaken Rob's Smoking Cessation course I have found that the results achieved by this quick method of Smoking Cessation are superb. Clients are amazed at how they become non-smokers in just 60-90 minutes with lasting results. Once they realise that their reasons for wanting to stop are just not tangible reasons, and that they can stop easily if the immediate benefits are there for them, the hypnosis is the extra motivation that's needed. This method works - the results prove it !!
Greg Coyne - Gregs Website
  .
I had been a smoker for 30 years, I had tried many times before to quit and failed…. Barry was recommended by a friend of the family and although I was very sceptical, my children urged me to go out of concern for my health. After the session I knew I would never smoke again… Barry I really do feel more calm and confident in myself and I do look and feel 10 years younger thank you soo much. Frances
Therapist: Barry Kieran
 

Rob Kelly's Specialised Smoking Cessation course, is what makes the IAPH practise in this treatment,way above good,in a category of par excellence. It is what makes a one hour session, Successful, Liberating, and Complete. This is because it doesnt only teach the suggestions to use to the powerful software of the subconscious mind, but the important aspects of the cognitive distortions of smoking, and hence the applied psychology to it all.
This is why in my treatments I can take such a dynamic approach in preparing clients, before they even get to the therapy room, totally fired up, with no fear of failure,and a brilliant success rate.
I cannot imagine practising any other way. An essential course as a practitioner, to be totally well informed, and therefore to keep standards and success rates higher than highest.
Brilliant.
Su Filer, Successful Hypnotherapy Student

I feel like I've never smoked before...Yes! I feel good, my lungs feel clean, I can breathe easily. My chest isn't tight anymore.  I'm free and I'm back in control.' J.D from Stroud
Therapist: Becki Bedford


I'm not crabby and I'm not smoking...... It's been more than 48 hours - and I haven't had a cigarette. No big deal? It is for me. And I feel completely relaxed about it. That is the big difference. I know it's still early days but I have been to a pub and too a party and I haven't smoked. My children have all been monsters and I haven't smoked. My colleagues are still smoking - and I'm not. I've got this feeling I might have cracked it this time!!!

A one-day workshop designed to give hypnotherapists the skills and confidence to help Mothers and their partners give birth ... free of discomfort!

Presented by Sue Wilson Dhyp., (Adv.,) MIAPH (Acc.,) and Gary Foster Dhyp., (Adv.,) MIAPH

With the popularity of alternative therapies being made more available for pregnant Mothers the one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest for the ease of discomfort and more than often pain-free-birth, is ... Hypnosis. Sue Wilson and Gary Foster, who are both full-time Hypnotherapists at the Bedford Hypnotherapy Clinic, have worked with many couples helping and assisting them in having a pleasant birth experience and are now putting together a series of one-day workshops to teach hypnotherapists techniques which work!

• How to create the perfect mind birth programme for Mum, Dad and Baby!
• How to formulate suggestions to ease the fears and concerns
• The Elman induction Vs The Progressive Relaxation induction - how to choose the right one!
• How to structure the hypnosis sessions for Mum, Dad and Baby, plus extended family!
• Painted words... What they are and how to manage them for the best outcome
• How to market your services as a Relaxed Childbirth Therapist
  

You will leave with a full advertising and marketing pack, to include a ready made press-release, that you can use to help promote your new, additional skills!

Some comments from previous course attendees:

This course teaches how childbirth can be a relaxed and positive experience for all involved.  It is well presented and goes through every aspect of the birthing process including how to dispel fears and worries and explaining how self-hypnosis can help greatly with our own natural ability to give birth easily.  I now teach other expectant mums and dads the same thing and I thank you Sue, for an excellent course that can not only help parents through the birth itself, but also show them how to learn relaxation and positivity during the weeks afterwards, helping them to cope and bond with their new baby.
Melanie Lewis, Hypnotherapist - Melanie's Website

Subjects covered in this one-day certficated course include:

• Mind and body connection
• A brief history of medical hypnosis

• Suggestions that work
• How to work alongside the medical and dental professions
• Why we don't take away ALL of the pain

Some comments from previous course attendees:

'Stevie knows his stuff inside and out and his relaxed, sincere and friendly manner gets it across in a way that leaves you in no doubt about it all. And if you are in any doubt by the end of the day, just volunteer to be stuck by a needle like I did! Stevie's techniques and powerful suggestions proved to me that I could have a needle inserted in the back of my hand with only the mildest of sensations that did not bother me at all. So now with my doubts completely dispelled I can take away everything I learned and experienced at the Pain Management seminar to further help my clients. Highly recommended.'
Beaula Page, Hypnotherapist - Beaula's Website

This very enjoyable day, a great mix of theory and practice, provided me with real skills in Pain Management and, more importantly, the knowledge of how and when to use them effectively and safely.As an added bonus, you get Stevie's Cancer Help Program included in his very detailed information pack. This is a complete guide to helping a client through their illness/treatments but is equally valid as a self-assessment, and potentially life-changing, approach to managing your own health and wellbeing.You win all round with this course.......you add to your skills as a therapist, and, on a personal level, come away with a guide to optimising your own health.

Some comments from previous course attendees:

This course is essential for any therapist setting up in private practice.  The information and advice given is second to none, coming from a therapist with masses of experience who is not afraid of telling you about the pitfalls of private practice as well as teaching you about what works well.  Richard is a natural teacher and this course is informal but very informative, helping those willing to learn, how to gain 30+ clients a week.  Setting up on your own can be quite daunting, I know it was for me, but if you need to know anything at all about setting up a consulting room, advertising and websites, dealing with enquiries and many more aspects of private practice, then Richard is the person to talk to and this is the course to go on.  
Melanie Lewis, Successful Hypnotherapy Student

May I just congratulate you on your seminar yesterday. It was very well prepared, well thought out and informative to us all, not only for the new therapists, but for all of us that need (constantly) new ideas and in particular, web information.

Lorraine Lester Murphy, Hypnotherapist - Lorraine's Website

I just wanted to post a quick note thanking Richard for the training he delivered today, it was excellent! I would advise all both new & old to attend the next one, if you come away with just one gem it will have been money well spent!
