Brad Mace
Hypnotherapist in Essex

My name is Brad Mace, Dhp, Maphp (Acc) MNRCP a practicing Clinical Hypnotherapist. I first became interested in Hypnotherapy after seeking help for panic attacks that I was myself experiencing. I was so very impressed with how quickly my panic attacks were cured and the amazing effects of Hypnotherapy that I myself decided to learn this amazing tool so that I could help other people.

I studied at the EICH (Essex Institute Of Clinical Hypnotherapy) to obtain my Diploma in Hypnotherapy. I am now a full member of The APHP (The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy), which is a professional body whose members are dedicated to the professional and ethical use of Hypnosis, allied to the practice of Psychoanalysis for the treatment of nervous disorders and emotional problems. Members of APHP are bound by a code of practice and ethics. Client care and confidentiality is of the utmost importance.

What sets APHP apart from other professional associations for Hypnotherapists is the fact that every single member has been personally interviewed before being invited to join. All members have committed to an ongoing program, thus ensuring that their knowledge and skills are completely up-to-date. In addition, they agree to abide by a strict code of ethics which forbids them to practice outside their area of expertise. Add to this the fact that they are fully covered by professional indemnity insurance and you can be confident that you will receive the most competent and professional of treatments.

You can find out more about the ethical code of all APHP members, or check my credentials by visiting www.aphp.co.uk. My aim is to use Hypnosis to help you with your problem. I offer a free initial consultation so that you can talk to me confidentially without any obligation. If for any reason I am unable to help you with your problem I will recommend you to a therapist who can.

Background & Hypnotherapy Qualifications

In the last few years I have also been practicing EFT IEmotional Freedom Technique). I am now a level 3 practitioner and a full member of AAMET (Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques).
It is one of the new ‘Energy Psychologies' and is rooted in the ancient Chinese meridian energy system. It's like an emotional form of acupuncture, minus the needles - you simply tap energy meridian points on your body, with your fingertips.

EFT is based on the discovery theory that all negative emotions are the result of disruptions in the body's energy system. This approach has been around for over 5,000 years, and Albert Einstein told us in the 1920's that everything is made up of energy. Western medicine seems to have over looked this major component in healing, until now and the breakthrough of EFT.

Essentially, EFT relieves symptoms by tapping various body points as we tune into, or focus on the problem. This tapping balances energy meridians that have become disrupted when we think about or experience an emotionally disturbing circumstance. Once balanced, the upset is usually resolved - the memory stays but the emotional charge is gone.

The founder of EFT, Gary Craig, is a Stamford engineer, an NLP Master and ordained priest, so has many varied past experiences and approaches. He trained with the psychologist Roger Callaghan, who had been studying kinesiology and acupuncture. Callaghan had found that an anxiety patient of his felt her anxiety about water in her stomach, so using his recently learned knowledge, he had her tap the stomachmeridian point below her eye, and to his astonishment, she proclaimed that her fear had gone and she rushed to his swimming pool to feel the water! Years later, her fear of water had never returned.

After many such miraculous ‘cures', where other methods had failed, Callaghan developed TFT - thought field therapy, working with the body's 14 energy pathways. He developed specific algorithms for each symptom or issue and TFT proved to be fairly complex to learn. Gary Craig, searching for the simplest way to use this therapy, found that 14 points were always included in each algorithm, irrelevant of the presenting symptom, so tried just tapping these points for every single problem. The results were outstanding and EFT was born.

EFT is safe, gentle, portable and user friendly. It can be applied by the client themselves from the minute they leave a session, and there are not many therapies that can safely say that!

EFT is effective wheremany other treatments have failed and amazingly, the same technique is applied for anything, be it fear of public speaking or improving your golf handicap. It really is the most incredible therapeutic intervention I have ever had the privilege to work with and is as simple as it is effective.

My Specialisms

Having suffered panic attacks myself I have a great understanding of anxiety related issues and how these can be overcome. I also work with addiction and habit breaking as well as phobias. I have a good success rate with fears of flying.

Approach to Hypnotherapy & How I Work

I offer a free initial consultation so I can get a good insight into problems and give the client an idea of how I will work with them. This is obligation free and should I feel their particular symptom would be better treated by another specialised therapist I am always happy to refer them on. Clients change and getting better is the number one priority to me.
