| TRACKING THE PROGRESS OF AN EXETER LCCH STUDENT Profile: Heather Taylor  Heather Taylor, our newly appointed supervisor for Exeter LCCH students living in North Somerset Dorset, had a very unusual introduction to Clinical Hypnosis. She was introduced to the idea of training whilst relaxing at a health farm in a bathrobe listening to one of Eric Fawcett’s many talks on Hypnotherapy. Already undertaking Counselling training she found herself a month later on the Exeter LCCH Certificate Course, realising that she had found the very thing she had wanted to do. Heather consequently went all the way, enrolling into the diploma course and later the postgraduate course, passing all her exams with top marks. Like so many other students, she found the training a time of personal transformation. She lost her self-consciousness, enjoying the freedom that confidence in oneself and belief in ones ability to develop, brings. This change enabled her to value and use her natural negotiating skills, calmness, unrecognised clarity of thought and under-used study skills to make the most of the LCCH training and to promote herself widely as a Hypnotherapist. Heather has considerable performance experience as a solo musician. Given a scholarship to The Royal College of Music as a child she later metamorphosed into a soprano soloist and understands both the confines of and joy of release from performance anxiety. She uses this understanding and her professional experience with clients, incorporating breathing, voice and acting into her work. Heather Taylor is a tutor with the Adult Literacy Service in Somerset where she uses solution focussed approaches with students, and gives talks on positive thinking to essential skills groups. She has a private practice at a Medical Centre and a Dental Surgery. She furthermore developed a special interest in using Hypnosis therapeutically with women as she also works as a therapist at a Well Woman Centre in her local hospital. Here she uses hypnosis in conjunction with her counselling skills addressing a wide range of issues, including those related to the menopause, such as self and body image, anxiety and fear, change of identity/role, relationship and parenting difficulties and coping with physical symptoms.

The Exeter team would like to congratulate all students passing their Diploma examination this summer and wish them all the best for their professional future. They were a great, fun loving but also hard working group and we are looking forward to meeting many of them again on the practitioner course.   We would like to thank John Hempstead, our examiner from the Hypnotherapy Examinations Board (seen here on the left with course director Christa Mackinnon and students of the Diploma Course), for his reassuring and professional attitude during the examinations.John Hempstead is currently doing a post-graduate degree at Southampton with a dissertation on Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder. Sufferers have been kind enough to write to him from all over the United Kingdom explaining how the condition affects them which, unsurprisingly, is very much the same type of experience for each and within the criteria of DSM-IV. It would be very helpful to hear from Therapists, either using Hypnotherapy or other effective protocols in treating this disabling condition. He would also like to hear about any good texts on the topic (other than the excellent Bibliography included in the Masterclass on this subject, which he has). He may be contacted by: e-mail: wykehamhyp@freezone.co.uk or write to: John Hempstead, 27 College Road, Ringwood, Hampshire
