Discover Hypnosis — Improve your life

Welcome to Discover Hypnosis. I’m Dean Clark, a clinical solution focused hypnotherapist, based in Chadderton, Oldham in Greater Manchester. At Discover Hypnosis, I work with you to find positive outcomes to any obstacle in your life, using a combination of talking therapy and the power of hypnosis.

Perhaps you feel like you’re not achieving your full potential, or maybe you’re curious about what hypnosis is and what it can do for you?

Solution focused hypnotherapy?

It is a type of talking therapy that includes hypnosis. Hypnosis or ‘trance’ is a very natural, relaxing state, which encourages a highly focused state whereby positive suggestions can be more readily accepted by the subconscious part of your mind. This allows rapid and lasting positive changes to be made in the way you think and feel.

My services. How I can help you.

I have worked with hundreds of clients suffering from a range of issues including anxiety, weight management and phobias of all kinds, and I’m also trained to help with;

Low mood

There are a huge variety of symptoms from depression. It can cause intense physical symptoms as well as mental ones. Depression and low mood can be truly debilitating but, just by being here, you’ve decided to make a step towards the positive.

Stop smoking

Many people continue to smoke because they believe it will be extremely difficult or even impossible to quit. By removing that obstacle and guiding you to a positive outlook on your journey to putting down those cigarettes, you can quit for good.

Weight management

Understanding our attitudes to eating and exercise is very important. We can discuss these together during your initial consultation. With the power of hypnosis, as well as some simple practical steps, together we can help you change any unhealthy patterns you may have with food or drink and help you to feel empowered towards living a healthier and happier life.

Discover hypnosis has helped me so much. Over the four sessions dean as taught me the science behind how hypnosis works, and showed me how effective hypnosis can be. Before the sessions I was suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, and had a fear of swallowing tablets. After just four sessions of hypnosis with dean I feel much more confident and haven’t had one panic attack! I’ve also been able to overcome my fear of swallowing tablets and I’ve have been able to take a vitamin everyday for three weeks now, something I never thought I’d be able to do. I’m so grateful for the work dean has done, it’s improved my life so much! For anyone thinking about looking into hypnosis I would say definitely try it, it has been a great experience and I’ve achieved results that I wouldn’t have imagined. I would 100% recommend discover hypnosis to anyone!read more

Couldn’t see the wood for the trees before I saw Dean. After just one session I feel like I understand the mechanics of my anxiety better. I know I’m not there yet but I’m feeling a lot more positive about the journey now.read more

I had a 20 year habit with drinking too much alcohol and had tried everything. Hypnosis was the last thing I tried with Dean. It took 5 sessions for me to stop drinking at home and a month after a final 6th to tie up all the social drinking habits. I no longer drink (or smoke which went hand in hand with drinking!) and enjoy a stress, guilt and anxiety free life. Dean's focus based hypnosis is a very positive way to heal old habits and very effective. He gives advise and explains the sciencey brainy bits which helps give an understanding on why habits are developed and therefore how to break them. This knowledge, combined with the hypnosis made the decades long drinking issues easy to over come. It felt strange at how easy it was to make changes and I am delighted to finally be in control of what was an issue. I can even socialise with my drinking friends and not drink and still have a dance!! It was a pleasure working with Dean. He is very approachable, thorough, professional and gives original hypnosis tailored to your specific requirements. I throughly recommend him. Thank you Dean!read more

I was hypnotised 17 years ago in Southampton to stop smoking ,however 4 years later I was working in Cairo and was involved in a serious accident,someone gave me a cigarette and I started smoking again.I was so intrigued by what had happened that I payed to go to Manchester University to study clinical hypnotherapy. Six weeks ago I met Dean and asked him if he could replicate the hypnotherapy that I first received 17 years ago, after a short interview I agreed to be hypnotised,a pleasant experience NOT EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT SMOKING SINCE..so good in fact that my wife a prolific smoker is starting therapy on Thursday...I shall post another in a months time.

In September last year my teenage son was stressing big time about Mocks and actual GCSEs for 2018. It was affecting his health in many ways and I desperately needed to help him. I found Dean on a web search and chose him because my son wanted to go to a man. What an excellent choice he has turned out to be. He is intelligent both intellectually and emotionally. He knows his stuff thoroughly. He is engaging and personable and most importantly knows all about the things teenage boys are interested in so has been readily able to make a connection with my son. I have been in on the counselling part of the sessions which has been helpful to continue support at home. It has also meant Dean has worked fully in partnership with me for the benefit of my son. Yesterday he had his final session and tomorrow takes his final exam. From being a fibber in wreck in September scoring 8/10in anxiety levels he has chilled and focused more healthily to be able to now score a 2/10 and be smiling and laughing his way through his challenges. Confidence too has improved drastically both in his belief about his ability and socially. He has lost that awkwardness of a teen and become a confident young man. My son has played his part too, taking responsibility for himself and his progress. He has taken on board all of Deans advice and seen it through. Dean has given him the tools and great success has been the outcome. Thank you Dean, you have been amazing.read more

I have had around 6 sessions of hypnosis with Dean in relation to diet and exercise. At the start of the sessions I was a 4-5 bar a day chocoholic. I decided that Lent would be a good time to try and give up chocolate. Having given up before years ago for a short period, I was aware that it would take significant effort on my part. After only two hypnosis sessions I was able to give up chocolate completely for Lent with minimal effort or cravings. I completed the 40 days without chocolate and barely noticed that I was coming towards the end. It worked so well that I haven't yet returned to chocolate following Easter which I am really pleased about. The sessions comprised of a split between informative learning in relation to diet along with dietary advice and hypnosis to reinforce positive behaviour. I found the information on healthy eating incredibly useful. It is not information that I have come across before in the public domain and it helped me to understand the core of what I was eating and how my body was reacting, in particular to sugar. It was also useful to be able to objectively discuss different diet options and for Dean to advise on how each diet worked, to find a suitable and sustainable plan that would work for me. In relation to the hypnosis, I found that it was extremely relaxing and useful. Dean has a very gentle and thoughtful approach to hypnosis and certainly I found the hypnosis to be very effective in relation to giving up chocolate. Clearly to eat healthily you have to take responsibility and put the personal effort in but the sessions with Dean have made that process a lot easier and put success a little bit closer in reach. I always found Dean to be a friendly, personable and approachable practitioner and would recommend him highly. Fiona H.read more
