Luckily I stumbled across an advert for Bluewater Hypnotherapy and decided to give Alan a call. I was quite nervous about hypnosis at first, but Alan very patiently answered my questions and really took the time to reassure me by explaining what would happen. After the first session I was so relaxed, and I felt so good that I smiled all the way home! With each session my confidence has grown, and I now feel like I'm back in control of my life and enjoying being me. A hypnosis session with Alan is like a massage for your mind, and I've recommended him to my friends and colleagues. I'm so glad I gave hypnosis a try. Thank you so much Alan, you're an absolute star!

He was warm and caring, calm and thoughtful, professional and ethical. What has really impressed me though is how he has been supportive (without being intrusive) since the session. How good it feels knowing there is someone there 'just in case'! Excellent. Will be recommending him to others.

Since I was last in Portsmouth and used the outpatients department a new building has been built on the site. Recently I had cause to visit and though the appointment was almost on time and the consultant I saw was very throrough and friendly I had the usual issues for parking. All the parking at this hospital is pay and display and there is only one place in the hospital that will give you change. Don't try the outpatients reception (new or old) or even main reception. The only place you can get change is from the main restaurant which is quite a walk down many coridoors. So my tip is take plenty of change for the meters and I'd always opt for a minimum of 2 hours as you never know how long the wait to be seen will be.

They sit and listen to you and they let you go over your time if you need to and they take you seriously over everything you say.

The actual surgery is clean and pleasant - if you can get an appointment. Try calling and you'll always get a busy tone - unless it's at 08:00:02 - when you might be lucky enough to get through. The waiting room usually queues into the lobby, so don't go if you need to sit down ! It is not the fault of the surgery, as tons of new houses were built near by without provision for a doctors, dentists or other such amenities.

MATERNITY: Having given birth to my first 2 children in the US - where everything is covered by…read moreHealth Insurance and you get to control most things about your birth experience (because you're paying), I'll admit it was with some trepidation that I undertook the NHS version of obstetrics. However, having been put off by Queen Alexandra's Hospital in Portsmouth by their lack of physical tour (you have to get by with a substandard YouTube video), and also feedback from others that it was a busy hospital and somewhat akin to a sausage machine (I had one story of someone being in and out in 12 hours - and they didn't necessarily want to be processed so quickly), I decided to opt for Chichester. It was the right choice - indeed quieter, albeit a bit older looking, but still fit for purpose. This maternity ward is very well run, the midwife was very good and I got the epidural that I wanted (needed!) for my third baby. I would definitely recommend this hospital to any nervous mums. Getting the tour and having a chance to ask questions and familiarize oneself with the layout was really helpful in orientating me to the NHS way and allaying any fears/answering questions. My only pick up point was infant security. As I left the hospital the receptionist let me swan out - no outgoing checks, no bracelet checking, no escort to the door, nothing. It made me wonder what the protocol was should there be an attempted baby theft...

Thankfully, I was introduced to Elaine Cooke, the Owner/Practitioner at Homewood, through Networking. I was immediately drawn to her, as her ethos of helping people very much aligned to my own, as a Hypnotherapist. Still slightly sceptical, I relied on my previous qualification, as a Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist, to give me a slight edge in determining if Elaine & I would be a good fit. I needn't have been concerned. Her years of experience, coupled with an innate empathy resulted in me being pain free for the first time in decades. She has since treated my wife, my daughter and has received many referrals from my Networking contacts. My undying Thanks. Love & Respect X
