About Me

Jackie Bastin HPD, DipCHyp, NLP MasterPrac, MNCH

I hope that by sharing some information about me, it will help you to decide whether I am the right person to assist you, because it takes two people to work together on this journey, both you and me.

I am married, my husband is a retired Police Officer and I have two grown up children. I live in Little Chalfont in Buckinghamshre, where I was born and value the area, friends and family that surround me. For over 20 years, I have worked alongside Consultant Surgeons, running their private practices, dealing with patients, and doctors. Through a close working relationship with all involved, I came to realise how much more there is that contributes to our physical health. I realised that the link between our physical and mental well-being, our mind and our body, is so powerful that I became curious to know more. Through personal family experience, I have witnessed the power of Cognitive Hypnotherapy and its ability to enhance the lives of people I care for, both physically and mentally. Coming from a medical background, I was challenged and sought the answers, which lead me to study and train with the founder of Cognitive Hypnotherapy and Wordweaving™, Trevor Silvester, at The Quest Institute, Regents College, London.

As a graduate of the internationally recognised, Quest Institute, I have been trained to the highest standards within the field of Cognitive Hypnotherapy and NLP. I have been awarded:

Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy DipCHyp
Neuro Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner Certification NLP MasterPrac
National Council of Hypnotherapy Diploma HPD

I am a member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy (NCH), who not only promote the highest of professional standards in its members, but who were the first to award the nationally accredited Hypnotherapy Practitioner qualification by the NCFE, National Awarding Body.

As a member of the NCH, I adhere to their code of ethics, providing a confidential and professional service, with a commitment to Continued Professional Development. I am fully insured and registered with the UK Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations (UKCHO).

I acquired not only my qualifications, but an insight in to how I could use these skills to enhance my life, and the lives of anyone who wished to take that opportunity.

To achieve a good therapeutic alliance, you should feel comfortable with your Hypnotherapist and I hope that this goes some way to helping you make your decision. I would be delighted to discuss your individual needs further, email me, or call 07540 646771.
