My name is Pat Harland and I am a fully qualified Member of The International Association of Evidence Based Psychotherapy and hold an advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy. I am also a Consultant Practitioner of the Thrive Programme (incorporating Changing Limiting Beliefs), a Licensed Hypno-Band Practitioner (the virtual gastric band system for weightloss). Having been in practice since 2004 I also present seminars for IAPH on Treating Children to teach other therapists how to be with children in their own practices.The IAEBP (Previously known as the IAPH) is dedicated to the professional and ethical use of Hypnosis & Psychotherapy for Health and was set up in 1981.Members of the Association are bound by a Code of Practice and Ethics of the highest standard. Members have undergone an extensive course of training and have satisfied their examination board of their competence in the field of Hypnosis, Psychotherapy and the application of post hypnotic suggestion.

Professional Development

I have also committed to an ongoing programme of personal development in the field and attend regular training seminars. Subjects which I specialise in are the treatment of fears and phobias, social anxiety, stress, nervous and emotional disorders and emetophobia and I am one of a very small handful of people within the north west trained to apply this type of therapy.I grew up on the Wirral and have recently re-located back. Being a Mother to two grown up girls and a Grandmother to three girls is one of my passions in life, my hobbies are walking an enthusiastic chocolate coloured labrador called Monty and keeping fit with swimming and gym exercise together with reading. I am enthusiastic and passionate about the benefits that Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and the Thrive Programme can bring to the vast majority of people. I truly believe that both hypnosis, Cognitive Processing & Integration and/or the Thrive Programme can help you to help yourself. It can give you the motivation to overcome those hurdles in life and help turn you into a better person.I look forward to helping you solve your problem soon..
