The Gentle Mind, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy

Using Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy I help individuals, aged from seven to eighty-seven and those in the corporate world (business people and whole departments).

When we are not ourselves, we burn out both physically and mentally. As part of your journey, I will help you to be kinder to yourself and achieve a relaxed and gentle mind - hence my name.

Paul Liveras

I began treatment with Jim Thomas mid 2020 for some stress and anxiety issues I had been experiencing. A particular issue presented itself and Jim was so helpful in helping me to understand it and indeed better understand myself. His calm and controlled manner combined with hid friendly approach put me at ease and with his help I was able to process and realign some of my emotions and behaviours. I learned how to take positive thoughts and apply them to my daily life (and still do); I also found the supporting hypnotherapy homework to be really useful. I truly would have no hesitation in recommending Jim to anyone.

James is really enthusiastic to work with which is really important to me. I never felt judged by him and his calm presence was very reassuring. He also has a great sense of humour. I highly recommend him.

Xenia Templer

When I first visited James I felt my particular anxiety was causing me to go into an extreme crisis. After the very first session I left with complete peace of mind & a feeling of positivity. After a few sessions I felt I could manage the problem with the coping mechanisms he taught me & felt willing to try new distractions which have proved to benefit me physically as well as mentally. James gives you the tools to move forward and providing you are willing to go with it you will find a better version of yourself! I fully recommend you try sessions with James for whatever your issue as he can help you. A very kind, caring man who will also make you smile, which is always a good thing!

I went to see James a few times last year with mild anxiety and low confidence and since then have noticed massive improvements in myself. He has helped me mentally and physically pushing me to a healthier lifestyle. Thanks James would highly recommend.

Mags Hutchings

I have recently been diagnosed with CFS/ME. With the diagnoses came a tsunami of new and not nice feelings I had to deal with. Jim has helped with his positive attitude and the hypnosis to get through this. Sadly , even his treatment can't heal my illness, but I found that it made a huge difference in my life. He helped me to adapt and see what is important and not get to tangled up in my own negative thoughts. He helped me to tidy up in my head, sieve through the important bits and regain control of my life.

I came to The Gentle Mind as I was having trouble confronting some obstacles in my life and came to Jim for help. After several weeks of working with Jim, I was able to make incredible improvement in overcoming these obstacles. It seemed like a miracle. Nothing I had tried before had ever worked. Jim is both very understanding and fun to work with. I would highly recommend him for what ever problem that needs to be treated.
