About chris

My name is Chris Gelder, I am a qualified and CNCH registered Hypnotherapist based at Leyland near Preston and Chorley in Lancashire, and I can help you achieve the changes you want.

With over 15 years experience in personal development through a variety of roles as manager, consultant, mediator, trainer, tutor, hypnotherapist, mentor and coach, I have helped countless individuals achieve their true potential, potential that for some had lain hidden and dormant for many years.

As well as training and working with organisations such as Dale Carnegie, Salad Consulting and GBS corporate, I am a qualified Hypnotherapist and Hypno-psychotherapist, NLP Practitioner specialising in all areas of everyday life.

A member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH,) and Associate member of the Medical School Association I have studied and developed my skills at the UKCP and the European accredited National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, which is one of the longest established schools of hypnotherapy/hypno-psychotherapy in the world, and the UK Academy of therapeutic arts and sciences with leading professionals such as:

• Dr Shaun Brookhouse an award winning and internationally recognised Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, teacher, author and principal of the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy.

• Dr Josie Fraser who has been a researcher in behavioural psychology since 1991, working as a scientist in Experimental Psychology and Psychiatry departments (at the University of Cambridge, UK, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, USA, respectively). Josie is currently a Senior Lecturer teaching psychological and psychiatric topics, and researches Alzheimer's disease, drug abuse and schizophrenia.

• Fiona Biddle an award winning Hypnotherapist, Hypno-psychotherapist, Counsellor, Professional Coach and Author. In addition to her clinical work, Fiona is the Managing Director of the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy. Fiona is also a past Chair of the National Council for Hypnotherapy and currently the Secretary of the European Association for Hypno-Psychotherapy.

• Sian Schofield, who as well as lecturing and teaching, runs a successful and busy Counselling and Hypnotherapy practice which integrates hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), CBT and EMDR.

I believe that we are all individuals, we all have and we all share the same dreams, hopes and fears, and as such hypnotherapy and coaching should not be a "one size fits all". Any approach has to be tailored to you the individual. We are all different and unique, we see the world from different angles, and as such we should all be helped in a way that complements and celebrates our uniqueness.

Because of this belief, my promise to you is that I will use whatever is necessary to help you achieve the results you want and deserve. It may well be an eclectic blend of Hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT, EFT, Coaching and regression hypnotherapy, what is important is that it will be based on discussion and an understanding with you.
