About me
David Osborn-Cook: BA (hons), Dip CBH, Dip Clin.Hyp. NLP.Coach, GHSC, Reg GHR, GQHP.
I am a registered and accredited member of GHR (General Hypnotherapy Register) and a member of the GHSR.
These are the bodies that control, monitor and uphold the standards of the hypnotherapy profession and the courses and colleges that train and award qualifications. As well as being trained in hypnotherapy and CBT (the gold standard of therapies, according to the BMJ) in the combined form of Hypno-CBT, which is a highly evidence-based approach to Hypnotherapy, I am also a qualified NLP practitioner and life coach. I have an honours degree in English and over 25 years’ experience running businesses in advertising, marketing and video.
My background means I am highly experienced in psychotherapy and psychology and I bring humour, inspiration, kindness and warmth to every session. I believe everyone has the right to good mental health and can achieve the most incredible things with the right help and encouragement - despite their past experiences.
It may help you to know I have struggled with anxiety, stress and depression in the past and have experienced a challenging childhood involving long hospitalisation and family mental health and addiction issues. Despite this (that word ‘despite’ plays a large role in therapy) I had much love and have many things to be grateful for. All these elements feed into my passion to help others and give me first hand experience in many mental health areas.
With all this in mind, I promise I will bring everything I have to my work with you or whoever you recommend.
