SME Cambridgeshire Business Awards 2023 Finalist! Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

I’m delighted to share the positive news that I’ve been shortlisted in the Cambridgeshire Business Awards 2023!

You may already know about my several previous successes in the SME Ely Business Awards for Service Excellence. However, this is the first time I’ve entered the Cambridgeshire business awards so I’m thrilled to have made the final! Cambridgeshire is a much bigger area than Ely and has hundreds of fantastic businesses operating within it so it’s a privilege to even make the category shortlist.

I’m once again appearing in the Service Excellence category (sponsored by Cambridge law firm, Barr Ellison). The Service Excellence category recognises a business that delivers outstanding assistance and advice to those who use the businesses products or services. Thanks so much again to all of you for your ongoing support and for continuing to share your positive hypnotherapy reviews (now well over 300 of them!) and for recommending me to others who are seeking help and support with issues like anxiety, low confidence and overcoming phobias.

It’s a tough shortlist for the finals so please do keep your fingers crossed for me!

Ely Standard Cover My Business Award! Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

I recently shared my success at the Ely Business Awards 2023 where I was fortunate to pick up another award for Service Excellence.

Thanks so much again to all of you for your ongoing support and for continuing to share your positive hypnotherapy reviews and to recommend me to others who are seeking help and support with issues like anxiety.

I’ve already covered all about the award and how grateful I am for my hat-trick of winning an award three years in a row in previous articles. And recently the Ely Standard covered my awards success (thank you Ely Standard!) and I thought you might like to take a look at their news article today…

Hypnotherapy Reviews: Can You Trust Them: Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Hypnotherapy Reviews: Can You Trust Them: Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Now I don’t know about you, but these days when I’m deciding to buy something online, or when I’m researching a local business or service I need, then I always take a bit of time to check out the reviews and to see what other people say about their experience or about the thing I’m thinking of getting.

And I’m not just checking the ‘top’ reviews or those deemed ‘most favourable’ (by some online algorithm), I want to scan through what people have said more generally, the pros and cons they list, the proportion of people rating things at different levels and the most recent reviews in case something has changed. Quality and service can change over time so it’s useful to spend a few minutes checking out the reviews to gain a level of assurance before buying that thing or contacting someone about a service.

Whether I’m buying a book or some more guitar plectrums (because they tend to walk off on their own!), or I want to switch bank or find a plumber, I’m either going with a recommendation from someone I trust or conscientiously checking out their reviews. These days, reviews really do matter. I know this with my own hypnotherapy reviews because people want a level of confidence before contacting me about their mental health, or they come because a family member or friend has recommended me.

Yet the upside of being able to quickly check out what other people have said in online reviews sadly comes with the downside that, because reviews really do matter, it can be a breeding ground for those who seek to inflate claims, misrepresent their success and play the system. For some, there can be an unbearable urge to cut corners to boost their profile rather than to do the work and let the good reviews grow organically.

There have been several articles in the news recently about fake reviews and plans about future laws to make them illegal. Yet, right now, if you were to do a quick search online, you could quickly find dozens of companies who are only too happy to sell business reviews on Google, Facebook or anywhere else online that hosts reviews. And we aren’t talking about a service that contacts actual customers to encourage reviews (like those emails you get a few days after you buy anything online asking you to review it). They are openly selling made up reviews from people who have never used the services of the business, either using deliberately created accounts or sometimes using the same reviewers (so them seem legitimate at first glance) to fabricate some words and leave some stars.

Over the years I’ve had cause to speak to a lot of other hypnotherapists and to look at maybe hundreds of online hypnotherapy websites and profiles and until recently, I’d never knowingly come across the use of fabricated reviews or fake reviews in the field of hypnotherapy. Yet more recently, a bit of research has shown that certainly and sadly there seems to now be this more shady element within the world of hypnotherapy reviews.

Online Hypnotherapy – Dan Regan Hypnotherapy Ely and Newmarket

Since the pandemic I think we’ve all got a lot more used to interacting online for a much wider range of purposes than we ever used to. Working from home, lockdowns, home schooling and so on accelerated our willingness to communicate over things like Zoom and Teams.

That said, even before the that I’d helped a lot of people across the world using Zoom and Skype. I often get enquiries from people who live abroad or too far away from Ely and Newmarket to attend in person, yet who still want to engage in hypnotherapy sessions with me for issues such as anxiety, worry and overcoming phobias. During the pandemic all of my work had to switch to online hypnotherapy due to restrictions, and even hypnotherapy sessions with people who were local to Ely and Newmarket continued online. Working in this manner has only continued where someone lives several hours away around the UK, or abroad, or where someone may struggle to travel or need to avoid being around others for various reasons (e.g. they are immuno-compromised or need to avoid any possible infection for medical reasons).

In my experience, online hypnotherapy sessions can work smoothly and successfully. Yet, when someone does contact me about working over Zoom, that question of whether online sessions are as effective as in person sessions, usually looms large in their minds.

The Use of Hypnosis during the Perinatal Period – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

The Use of Hypnosis during the Perinatal Period – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

I often work with women during pregnancy, through childbirth and then throughout the adjustment to parenthood stages. They may be struggling with anxiety, worry and a sense of overwhelm. There can be anxiety and fear about health, about being in hospital and coping with the birthing process, and about how well they think they will cope with having the responsibility of a new born to look after. There is no doubt that there are a lot of demands, challenges and things to learn through pregnancy and into parenthood (as well as a lot of love, happiness and joy, of course!!).

Pregnancy related anxiety can lead to fear, worry and dread about any and all of the specific issues, demands, challenges, events and changes that surround each stage of pregnancy and child-birth. There can be issues around health (your own and the baby’s), hospital visits and the process of childbirth. There may also be social, relationship or financial issues, concerns about fulfilling the role of parent and about your physical appearance and the impact upon your body and the physical changes from pregnancy.

There is growing evidence about the symptoms of anxiety and depression experienced by many women during pregnancy, alongside growing evidence that these psychological symptoms contribute to the pain experienced during the delivery process.

Hypnosis can help you with managing and reducing your fear, anxiety, with pain management, and with strengthening your sense of confidence. Alongside the existing supportive literature, a systematic review has now reviewed current protocols involving the use of hypnosis during the perinatal period and examined the effects of hypnosis on mothers’ well-being.

Five Minute Rule For Changing Habits – Dan Regan Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Five Minute Rule For Changing Habits – Dan Regan Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Changing habits can often feel tough and like some sort of difficult challenge to achieve. Your existing patterns of behaviour, thinking and reacting may seem so long standing and ingrained that they seem immovable.

Yet we are all able of learning, adapting and making changes to what we currently do.

However, often we try to change too much too soon and struggle to maintain it. Or, making the changes you want to achieve may seem too overwhelming and so you procrastinate and delay and don’t make the progress you would like. Even if you get going with changing habits you may find that in no time at all your motivation and willpower has faded over time and with the busyness of life, and you are back where you started, doing what you’ve always done.

So if you want to start making consistent, progressive change and to build up some positive momentum in changing habits and behaviours then you need to tackle it step by step.

Being Self-Critical – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Being Self-Critical – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Do you have a tendency to be self-critical in your thinking?

Whether it’s a component and linked to anxiety, low confidence, low self esteem, depression or just struggling to cope with things, being self-critical is often there contributing and exacerbating how bad you feel. You may generally be negative towards yourself, who you and what you do. Or you may find that when faced with an adversity or challenge, you go back to putting yourself down, blaming yourself and believing that you are at the cause of all of your struggles.

Being self critical can contribute to all sorts of mental health problems, as well as being a generally uncomfortable and unpleasant way to go around living inside of your own head. You can put yourself down, be harsh towards yourself, blame yourself and talk yourself out of doing things that you want to do.

Yet you may find that your thinking and mindset is very different towards those you are close to. It may be that you encourage and believe in loved ones, considering them to be capable and wanting the best for them.

And if a stranger walked up to that loved one and starting putting them down, telling them they weren’t good enough and they were a waste of space, would you just idly stand by and let that happen? Or would you tell them to do one and then reassure your close other that those things were nonsense? And if you wouldn’t let a stranger be critical towards a loved one, why on earth would you put up with being that negative and critical to yourself in your own head all of the time?

New Year’s Resolutions and Achieving Goals – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket

Happy New Year! I hope that you had a lovely festive period and that you are feeling refreshed, refocused and ready to have an amazing year ahead!

I recently wrote about how to improve the likelihood of your New Year’s resolutions being successful (check out that article here: Successful New Year’s Resolutions) and many of the same principles apply to setting and achieve goals effectively no matter when you set them.

So many people set massive personal goals and then struggle to make, and maintain, progress. They seek to revolutionise their life overnight when, in reality, keeping the same big, motivating goals and evolving towards them can reap more consistent and enduring rewards.

That’s something I talk about more in this brief video:
