She underwent a 6 year intensive training programme to enable her to become

of Central England with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis where she
passed her Diploma with distinction, then advanced to Practitioner level,

areas of interest through Master Classes. During this period she also gained

Lorraine is also listed in the NHS Directory of Complimentary and Alternative

patients i.e BUPA, Local GPs, Local Colleges & Triage HealthCare in
Harley Street, London.
Over the years she has worked at several Complimentary Medicine and Health
Centres, and through popular demand decided to open her own private practice
in 2002, which has gone from strength to strength.
Between 2001 - 2004 she also worked part-time as an Addictions Counsellor
supporting recovering drug addicts, running
groups to teach Drug Awareness and Relapse Prevention, Relaxation & Stress
Management. To date she has trained staff at 5 prisons to run Relaxation
and Stress Management programmes that she wrote, which have been very successful.
Working in this field was a privilege and a valuable experience she will
always be grateful to. Mind & Body
Matters was rapidly expanding during this period.
Mind & Body Matters had grown into a busy practice, bringing many referrals
from satisfied clients and GP`s, who had witnessed their
patients increased wellbeing as a result of a combined holistic approach
incorporating
Clinical Hypnosis. The rapid, high success rate of Clinical Hypnosis
never ceases to amaze her.
Lorraine is committed to continually improving and updating her
skills. New practices in the field of Self Improvement are
being developed all the time, and she likes to pass the benefits
of the best of those on
to her clients. It is her belief that every client she sees
has all the resources he or she needs to change their lives, even
if they are unaware
of these resources when first entering into therapy.
