José Penrose, Hypnotherapy in Woking,Surrey June 07, 2012

As always, this is the time of year when hypnotherapy for weight loss is at its most popular as people’s thoughts turn to beach holidays and lighter perhaps more revealing clothing.  Also excess weight can be so uncomfortable and exhausting in the hot weather.

Craig Draper, Counselling in Sheffield May 22, 2012
