Dr Anna Crozier BSc, MBBS, DRCOG, MRCGP, MSc (Clin Hyp), MRCPsych.
I am a NHS GP with an MSc in Clinical Hypnotherapy. I am also a Senior Registrar in Psychiatry and Medical Psychotherapy (ST8) specialising in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (M1 Tavistock). I offer Hypnotherapy at the Silver Street Clinic for a range of emotional and physical health problems, such as Anxiety, Phobias, Insomnia, OCD, Addiction, Eating Disorders and low self-esteem, to name a few.
Hypnotherapy is a holistic treatment that embraces the fact that the mind and body are intricately bound up with each other. Western medicine has traditionally treated them as entirely separate. But a health problem is never fully located in the body or mind. Each impacts the experience of the other in a constant interplay. Your mind will have a particular experience of your physical body – no two people will experience a physical health problem in the same way. And in turn, your mind has a profound effect on your body. Evidence for this includes the astonishing power of the placebo effect. Hypnotherapy brings this together and treats it as one.
£139 per session. Reduced rates available for block bookings.
