Several studies funded by Institute of National Excellence (NICE) the government watch dog on medicines and treatment, have shown that the process and application of CBT is far more effective than medication as treatment alone for specific conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders.

During this relaxed state your subconscious mind is open and receptive to the suggestions given to you. You have probably seen stage hypnosis at some time. Well clinical hypnotherapy is not the same - if you are watching someone who has been hypnotized on stage, it may appear as though they do not know what's happening to them.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming - the Art of personal Excellence is now available in the West of Scotland. NLP is the instruction manual for the mind. At WOSPS, using Neuro-Linguistic Patterning model of Beliefs and techniques, we will offer you a way to use the mind and body to achieve excellence, effective communication and increased personal development.
Anxiety is a word we use to describe feelings of unease, worry and fear. It incorporates both the emotions and the physical sensations we might experience when we are worried or nervous about something. Although we usually find it unpleasant, anxiety is related to the 'fight or flight' response - our normal biological reaction to feeling threatened.
In its mildest form, depression can mean just being in low spirits. It doesn't stop you leading your normal life but makes everything harder to do and seem less worthwhile. At its most severe, depression can be life-threatening because it can make you feel suicidal or simply give up the will to live.

I came to Dr. Withers as an under-confident, I happy 20 year old girl whose crippling anxiety and depression was preventing her from living a good quality of life. With a combination of CBT, hypnosis and general life coaching, Dora has helped me to overcome my illnesses, to graduate from university, and to wake up everyday with a smile on my face, ready to seize whatever life has to throw at me. Both Dora and Ron are professional, compassionate, warm-hearted people, who have truly helped a young woman to unlock her potential in life. I am truly indebted to both of them, and am lucky to call them

I have not rated WOSPS namely Dora Withers for the following reasons:-
➖ Outset was positive but as time went on there was no purpose/agenda/structure to meetings;
➖ Administration was poor with double booked sessions and cancellations at last minute;
➖ The name, “Psychological” and the use of, “Dr D Withers” is misleading as she is not a trained psychologist I discovered. The use of Dr is very ambiguous and not what it seems;
➖ Despite many sessions and over a number of years, it has resulted in my partner and I splitting. D Withers was out of her depth and highly unprofessional
