I started my career after reading "Unleash The Power Within" by Anthony Robbins back in 1995 and I am proud to have attended and completed his famed "Firewalk" not once, but twice at two of his live seminars.

I am a Master Hypnotic Consultant and Certified Master Practitioner and Trainer in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).

I also hold diplomas in Smoking Cessation (Dip S.C.) Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy (Dip H.P.); Complete Mind Therapy (DCMT) and an advanced diploma in FREEWAY-CER, a relatively new energy psychology technique developed by Tom Bolton and Beverley Anderson here in the UK.

 I was granted membership to the British Stop Smoking Association (BSSA), the Association of Professional Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists (APHP); the Association of Complete Mind Therapists (ACMT).


I'm also an Advanced Practitioner and Trainer of both EmoTrance (ET) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).   

 Both EFT and EmoTrance are Meridian Energy Therapies (MET); a simple method of taking almost any stressful or emotional concern (energy blockage) and simply melting it away like snow in the sun within just a few minutes.  EFT is based on Chinese acupuncture, but without the needles.  EFT and EmoTrance are so simple that even children can gain the benefits in a few minutes.

 Imagine a gentle stream that is partially blocked by a boulder and other rocks.  Metaphorically speaking, EFT and EmoTrance restore your internal stream by removing the boulder and rocks that cause the disruption to your life, allowing the stream to flow again.

I am a Practitioner of Dr Randall Frank's Natural Healing Kinesiology and became an Advanced Professional Kinesiologist after I studied with the John Logue College of Professional Kinesiology. 

 Kinesiology is the study of the movement of muscles, which when tested can help diagnose illness and disease.  Treatment of these imbalances can often reset the systems which are dysfunctional, leading to better health.  More below: 

 The nerves connected to the spine, organs and muscles, act much like an electrical circuit connected to the brain, and hence the body acts much like a computer.  The brain is the primary control of both branches of the nervous system.  Sensory fibres carry messages to the brain where they are processed like a computer and in turn tell the body what to do.  Research has proven that under sufficient stress, the neurons in the brain centres (which control the stressed organ or body part) depolarize.  This is comparible to blowing a fuse on an electrical circuit; the message gets to the brain but fails to return.  This leaves the organ or body part running out of control and hence results in symptoms.  Through muscle testing and stimulating specific body points the neurons can be repolarized and the brain will regain control of the body and guide it back to health.  In energy terms, when the channels become blocked, symptoms appear.  Stimulating specific body points results in the channels becoming unblocked, resulting in a return to health.

I recently had the rare opportunity to train with Tom Vizzini & Kim McFarland, the originators of the very successful 3D Mind® technique.  This technique is an amazing addition to the other NLP tools that are already available and widely used in my sessions.  Highly Recommended!

Some of my corporate clients are, or have been:  The Ministry of Defence, Ford Motor Company, British Airways, Analytica Research, Waitrose, St James's Place Partnership and Research In Motion.

AN INTERVIEW WITH STEVE BISHOP – by Hugh McClelland

With over 2000 testimonials from satisfied clients, it’s little wonder that Steve Bishop’s tag line is ‘It’s not magic – it just feels like it!’  Steve runs Windsor-based ‘My Hypnotherapy Centre’ and is a fully qualified hypnotherapist, as well as an established NLP, EFT, and EMOTRANCE practitioner.  Some of the techniques Steve employs every day are identical to those used by famed TV hypnotist Paul McKenna.

 How did Steve decide on this vocation?  A chance conversation with a work colleague prompted his decision.  ‘I had a 20 minute chat with a workmate who was a heavy smoker.  I persuaded him to quit and he actually went ahead and did it’ explains Steve.  ‘The experience made me realise I could help people – I seemed to have an unconscious talent for it, but I needed to channel it with the proper training’.   Steve learned to fine-tune his talents with the best in the business, including Paul McKenna himself. 

 Steve typically deals with clients who need help with weight loss, stress, phobias, emotional issues, and smoking.  ‘Surprisingly, persuading someone to quit smoking for good is relatively straightforward’ says Steve.  ‘To help someone quit, I would normally use a combination of techniques which may include hypnosis.’  As a franchisee for ‘Easy Stop’, Steve’s ‘Stop Smoking’ service even comes with a guarantee !

 But whatever issue the client wishes to resolve, Steve will use a combination of treatments and techniques tailored to suit that individual – a combination which may include tapping (EFT) techniques.  

 EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques - work on a similar principle to acupuncture but without the use of needles.  There are various ‘meridian’ points throughout the body.  Tapping these points in a specific order releases any blockages in the flow of energy, contributing to Emotional Freedom.  Steve explains ‘Anger, sadness, and resentment are nearly always caused by blocked energy literally ‘blocking’ you from happiness; tapping on it releases it.’  

 Steve is passionate about this energy psychology and offered to demonstrate its effectiveness during our interview.  Some years ago I had a holiday completely ruined by an uninvited ‘guest’ who tagged along and caused complete mayhem.  Until recently, whenever I thought about it, I would get angry and bitter about it:  ‘How dare this person invite themselves along and spoil what should have been a memorable holiday?’   Using EFT, Steve completely released that pent up anger in just a few minutes.  I fully expected the anger to return later on, but amazingly it seems to have completely vanished.  Whenever I think about the holiday now, I have absolutely no negative feeling about it at all.  Incidentally, I didn’t even have to tell Steve the reason for my anger – just refer to it using a codeword.  

 Steve also uses EMOTRANCE - a similar technique which utilises mind power instead of tapping and his reputation in this area is such that 2 new clients recently flew over from Japan after reading an article about the treatment.  A hugely effective method which can also be used remotely (as can EFT).  Steve has a number of ‘remote’ clients including one in Mauritius.

 ‘All treatments are very effective’ explains Steve ‘so I have very few ‘repeat’ clients!’  Steve finds his work extremely rewarding, particularly if he helps someone with a long-standing problem.  ‘A recent client had been suffering from a recurrent back problem’ says Steve, ‘his chiropractor could find nothing wrong structurally so wondered if the problem might be rooted emotionally.’  It turns out the client had been suffering from stress for years without even realising it.  Steve’s treatment brought about a metamorphosis and the client is now enjoying a stress-free life – although there was one less positive response to the change as Steve explains: ‘His wife complained to me - she says he’s now TOO laid back !’
