Nigel Skinner

Before becoming a therapist, I spent seventeen and a half years in the computer industry, at both the UK and European level and many of my roles involved detailed work and problem-solving. I’ve found this to be an ideal grounding for my therapy practice today.

Skills

Often people will unload a large amount of information on me which they associate with their problem, and I’m happy to encourage this. My skill is in sorting through this information, finding the threads which, when unpicked, allow my clients comfortably, easily and naturally to let go of whatever it is that’s holding them back.

My Training

I’m a qualified Consultant Hypnotherapist, and doctors send me their patients when they believe I’ll be able to help them. While at University, I studied Psychology as a Humanities topic to complement my Computational Science degree.

Valerie Austin

I trained in hypnosis first with Valerie Austin, where I learned the Austin Technique of Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy, and Valerie’s specialist techniques for Stop Smoking, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Emergency Hypnosis and nth Phase (super-depth hypnosis).

Specialist Training

I’ve also trained with Dr. Barry Neale in another specialist technique for Stop Smoking, and I’ve studied Medical Hypnosis with James Pool first teacher in the UK of medical hypnosis for non-medical professionals. I’ve always come first in every examined course I’ve attended.

Reiki

I’m an also an attuned Reiki Master who uses Reiki on himself every day.

Teaching

As well as seeing clients on an individual basis, with Christine I teach Reiki courses (levels I, II, III and Teachers).

Landmark Therapy

I’ve spent two years studying experientially with Landmark Education, a personal growth institute, and two years with Anthony Robbins, one of the world’s leading coaches, and over three years having hypnoanalysis with Christine, giving me a deep understanding of how to coax sensitive and painful information from the subconscious mind in a gentle and supportive way.

EFT

Similarly, I’ve been using the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) with Christine, which is a powerful tool for breaking through seemingly intractable problems.

Lymphatic Drainage

Finally, I am trained in Lymphatic Drainage using the Light Beam Generator, an innovative system which penetrates deep into the body tissue to release blockages in the lymph flow. It has proven very effective for the remission of symptoms of oedema, cancer and certain auto-immune problems.

The Art of Right Questioning

We also teach The Art of Right Questioning, both to individuals and couples so that they can use it to resolve conflicts within their relationships. We also teach this to parents and their children, for the same purpose, and to small businesses to help them with conflict resolution.

Wellbeing Consultancy

Wellbeing Consultancy is the private practice of myself and my partner, Christine Green.

We see most of our clients at our office off Winchester Street in Basingstoke (map/directions) and the remainder at our home (especially some of the children who sometimes like the added help of our cat sat on their lap as we work).

The Partnership

We complement each other and sometimes work with the same person in tandem, if that’s what’s required to get them the result they need.

I was Christine’s silent partner for many years. When she needed some help with an issue for herself, I would do the work - often spontaneously using advanced hypnotherapeutic techniques never having learned them, just because I was inspired in the moment.

Particular Skills

I’ve been told I’m a natural, and I’m extremely quick to learn.

When Christine first began her practice, I was in the background. Once I had trained, there was no looking back. I’m one of those people you can’t help but talk to. People feel comfortable and safe in my presence. I have an unerring capacity to get to the nub of a problem, if you’ll only trust me to do so.

Shared Commitment

We do our very best to make sure that no client leaves our office in an unresourceful state, and we work on the premise that if you resolve the history, the mind can reconnect with the resources it already has to cope.

A problem is never what it seems, no matter how it looks.

Achieving What You Want

If you will carry the burden of responsibility for your success on your shoulders, believing that you’ll either get the outcome you’re looking for or that some part of your own mind is preventing you, no matter how it looks, then we’ll be able to outwit your own fear, trauma and sabotage mechanisms and achieve what you want.
