My name is Derek Joseph. I was born in 1938 and have been a hypnotherapist since 1997.
I trained with the Association of Sress Management and I am a member of the National Council For Hypnotherapy,
The Hypnotherapy Association and the General Hypnotherapy Register. For the latter two organisations I am the
regional contact point for other hypnotherapists.
After many years working in the East End of London for the fore runner of income support and also as an instructor
at their National Training Establishment where I specialised in Human Relations, I was struck that most human
mental and emotional distress arose from past conditioning that had caused people to lose touch with their
true nature;  which is happy, confident and balanced.

From a young age I was attracted to various Eastern philosophies and in 1961 I learnt to meditate with the
School of Meditation in London. I now meditate for one hour a day and have discovered that there are huge
variations in the levels of consciousness available to people.
Most of our distress is located in the sub-conscious mind which is reported to contain over 90% of the mind's activity.
To rise above this conditioned unhappiness and to explore the higher reaches of the mind and heart has been my
lifetime's journey.
I have run the Basingstoke branch of the School Of Meditation since 1979 and I also run retreats. Recently I have
opened a branch of the school in Winchester.

Hypnosis is an easy way of relaxing the mind and with the client's consent, reprogramming the mind to let go of the
negative aspects of our personalities. This negative conditioning gives rise to many troublesome conditions such as
alcoholism, depression, phobias, loss of confidence, sleeplessness, anger, fear and anxiety.
So, I relax the conscious mind and suggest to the sub-conscious mind a more positive, hopeful and truthful view
of ourselves.

Over the years I have achieved some remarkable results.
Many people have been weaned off anti depressants, tranquilisers, beta blockers and sleeping pills. Others have
learnt to let go of phobias and rise above repetitive and destructive behaviour.
The treatment is relaxed, non judgemental and enjoyable. I rarely see anyone more than ten times and results can be
very quick yet last a lifetime.

As this work is as much an interest and a vocation, I have the time to give people at least 1.5 - 2 hour sessions for a
reasonable fee.

I invite you to contact me.
