INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT PLANS
I fully understand that everyone is unique and has their own very personal reasons to seek out a Therapist or Coach.
Finding the right one for you is incredibly important. I know that this can be a confusing and sometimes daunting prospect, which is why I offer a free initial consultation over the phone where we can have an informal chat around what’s going on in your world, and I can explain how I work, and see if it’s a good fit for both parties.
After our Phone consultation, we move forward with our Initial Consultation appointment, either online or at The Clinic. During this session I will ask further, more detailed questions to get a deeper understanding of the issues & challenges you are facing.
Once we have outlined your specific Goals, Aspiration & Objectives for Therapy or Coaching, I will then suggest an initial treatment plan using the therapeutic tools I have at my disposal. By combining Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, Traditional Talking Therapies & Mindset Coaching, I believe I have the tools, techniques, and strategies to help you take back control and begin to enjoy life again. This is a collaborative process, where I will explain clearly how each method works. I will also explain how the brain functions and why you are feeling the way you are. Together we agree both the short term and long term plan for your sessions and the work begins.
The initial phone consultation is free, so if you are having any doubts about whether Therapy or Coaching is for you, then please do not hesitate to drop me a line for that initial friendly and informal chat about how I can help you.
TESTIMONIALS
I have learnt such a lot from my sessions with Kelly. My confidence and self esteem have really improved. I would recommend this kind of therapy to anyone who wants to get out of a negative mindset and improve every aspect of your life. I am now much kinder to myself. Thank you Kelly for helping me become a happier person.
Leslie
Kelly has a fantastic understanding of Mens Mental Health and a gentle way of relating to others. He is an observant listener and always provides insightful questions. Therefore it is with great confidence that that I recommend his services to colleagues or clients looking for support with men’s physical, mental & spiritual well-being.
Mel Gillespie
Kelly has a calm manner and takes great care with his coaching sessions. This coupled with his knowledge and experience has really helped me push past my expectations. If anyone wants to experience a positive approach to performance or to better themselves, I would seriously recommend Veritas.
Andy Marchesi
I had a Mindset Focus Hypnotherapy session with Kelly on the lead up to my World Championship Fight. The whole experience was great from start to finish. He really helped me to fine tune my focus on my goal and how I wanted to feel which allowed me to walk into the competition with the perfect Mindset. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to gain a mental advantage.
Chloe Gowan
I was a heavy smoker for longer than I care to remember. I had tried to stop many times over the years, even tried Vaping but just became dually addicted to both! I had one session with Kelly and I am so happy to say I no longer smoke or vape. The best money I’ve spent in ages.
Luke Vincent
Thanks so much for our sessions, it was great to work with you.
I travelled up and back to Bradford and the strangest thing happened. I really felt no compulsion to get into the outside lane and I didn’t break the speed limit. My thoughts about the outside lane drivers were completely changed and I no longer want to compete with them. My objective in driving is to get there in a relaxed manner. Thanks Kelly!

I practice Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.
A forward looking variant of therapy using trance to enhance the speed of resolution and lower the number of sessions required. No need to look into your past, we simply focus on your ideal future, creating positive mental pictures of the life we would like to lead and then we use trance or hypnosis to create those changes on a subconscious level.
There is absolutely nothing to fear, trance is a perfectly normal state of mind that we all dip in and out of several times each day. For example, driving a familiar route to work. Watching a film. It is purely when the two minds, conscious and subconscious come into focus together.
Hypnotherapy relies on us working together, it is a collaborative approach that requires the buy in of the client. I cannot force you into trance if you do not wish to be hypnotised. But, most people find this state of mind so peaceful, relaxing and refreshing that they cannot wait for their next session.
A one-hour sessions at The Old Rectory Clinic is £85.
I do offer a discount for block booking of 5 or 10 sessions, please drop us a line for the latest offers.
There is no definitive answer to this question, it really depends on the individual and the issue they present with. Drop me a line for an informal chat.
I am based at the beautiful Old Rectory Clinic, High St, Iron Acton BS37 9UQ
The sessions can also be done online from the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you.
Or a combination of the above to ensure the flexibility to help you move forward.
Coaching has a very broad spectrum of meaning and has become something of a modern day buzz word. However at Veritas, it means:-
Guiding, Mentoring, Supporting, Sponsoring, Nurturing, Pushing you positively towards becoming a better version of yourself and smashing your goals and ambitions.
Initially no. There is no hard sell and a main reason why we offer a free consultation.
Both parties need to feel comfortable that we have mutual respect, trust and a can operate in a very open, honest & supportive collaboration.
Also, coaching has to be a positive and often fun experience. We need to be excited about creating a vision for your future before we commit to the road ahead.
Yes of course. The website it simply geared towards men as this is the area in which I have the most relevant experience. But everything we do is transferrable and applies to everyone so if you are interested in working with me, please do not hesitate to drop me a line.
Alternatively, if you like what you see here but would prefer to work with a woman, then we can recommend an excellent female therapist who aligns with our values and philosophy, just drop us a line.
