David Finch
Senior Hypnotherapist
David Finch is a professional senior clinical hypnotherapist. He runs a successful practice in Ebbw Vale, South Wales.
David’s background is in training and business – he ran an entertainment company for around 30 years before moving from Essex to South Wales in 2004. David took a sales job for a national telecoms company and within a short time became a trainer, working in call centres and throughout the country for the retail team.
As a trainer, David became interested in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic programming), as many of the training techniques used NLP and conversational hypnotic language.
In 2009, He needed to lose weight and had “fatty liver disease”
This was when David discovered hypnotherapy. Amazed at the result that he got from hypnosis, he wanted to help others feel the same benefits. He began by reading books and websites, and watching videos on hypnosis. Over this period, David went from a tight 40in waist to a slimmer 36, then 34in waist, and normal liver function tests.
Undertaking training for 10 months, he qualified as a clinical hypnotherapist. He also gained a diploma in NLP; he then went on to update his skills to NLP practitioner and NLP master practitioner over time, by taking many advanced courses in hypnosis, including Hypno-Birth, rapid inductions, virtual gastric band and Kinetic Shift.
David started to see clients part-time for hypnotherapy, and very soon this became his full-time business, continually seeking improvement and personal development.
He has created his own very successful weight loss programme, Hypno-Reshape – a 12-week programme to reshape the mind and body. David is a strong believer in giving something back to the local community, and provides free relaxation and wellbeing sessions to several local community groups.
David’s hypnotherapy training will draw experience from his current work as a clinical hypnotherapist and his background in training, bringing the course to life with blended learning, discussions, video and audio presentations, and hands on practice in a safe environment. From day one, you will be hypnotising each other and building your skills; once qualified you will be given ongoing support and mentoring, enabling you to set up your own business or work alongside other therapists in a clinic.
David is the lead trainer for South Wales courses, and at times works on projects together with David Davies.
