Hypnotherapy for sport performance

Why use hypnotherapy for sport performance?

Very commonly you’ll hear winning athletes using hypnotherapy/visualisation to to help achieve a better sporting performance. Hypnotherapy can help in multiple ways:

  • Removing the yips,
  • Feeling calmer in sporting events such as competitions,
  • Improve technique,
  • Improve scores,
  • Getting into the zone quicker,
  • Have more fun.

The mind can’t tell the difference between fact of fiction and because of this we can use hypnosis to improve sport performance. As an example it may be having a more neutral response when entering into a competition and to feel more calm and at ease. With neural plasticity, and rehearsing in hypnosis we can strengthen a desired result within our mind to improve our physical sporting performance. I remember the frustration of going to a competition or in a match and not performing as I liked. I then would say a few negative based words to myself which would repeat in my mind throughout the event which caused me to tens up and perform even worse as the event went on. I would also leave in more of a negative mood then when I started which I originally was feeling positive for going to the game. My own experience of bringing hypnotherapy for sport performance not only helped me to improve my sport performance it also brought the fun back into it. My results within cricket was that my batting technique improved and because of that so did my runs. I felt calmer when batting and felt I was more value to the team as well as enjoying the experience more than before. I’ve helped others with sport to calm their nervous and perform better. I’ve also helped others to feel more aligned and to get into the zone much more easily and effectively.  If you’re wanting to perform at a better level This is an area I feel passionate about and would love to help more people in their sporting performance. If you’re wanting to perform at a better level, please book in for a free discovery call. I’d love to hear about the sport you are passionate about and what you want to achieve.

I met David with some initial scepticism about Hypnotherapy. But was put at ease very quickly. Within minutes I felt... momentum and were working on my flying phobia and social anxiety issues.His voice is perfect for Hypnotherapy and I really enjoy listening back to the audio's of our sessions.After visiting previous counsellors with very limited progress, we have made significant progress in such a short period. So much so, I have now flown and witnessed many improvements with my social anxieties also. Thanks to David, I feel my world has opened up again. He is also willing to go the extra mile to provide help with any other issues you might have.I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending David. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!Bottom line, I wish I had met David 30 years ago!read more

I cannot recommend David highly enough. If you’re worried about trying Hypnotherapy David will talk you through the process and cover any concerns and you’ll feel totally at ease. The even better part is it works! We’ve covered several topics already, and in once session I’ve managed to control sleep apnoea and sleep better and for longer. We’reworking on a couple of phobias at the moment too. He won’t just leave you to it afterwards either – customer follow up is brilliant. What are you waiting for? Go for it!

I can thoroughly recommend the clinical hypnotherapy treatment I received from David Webb. It has proved to be very effective insofar as it has helped to substantially decrease the symptoms and, at the same time, has now enabled me to better manage the ‘triggers’ which cause anxiety and associated conditions. His help has been invaluable. David has a very positive and confidence-inspiring manner and I have no hesitation in recommending him. A big thank you!

David has a soft voice that makes you relax instantly. He talked me through what we were going to do and how that even though it was hypnotherapy there was no way that he could make me do anything that I wouldn’t be comfortable doing. David then got me to close my eyes and we started the hypnotherapy session. His was so relaxing and easy to follow. I felt as though I had been under for longer than I thought, it was that relaxing! I weaned myself off my medication with the help of my medical professional so that I could see for myself the true benefits of this treatment. When David came to my unwanted sensation level was at a 7-8/10 after the session I was down to a 2, which for me was amazing and really slept a good health sleep for a few nights after before having to go to my “healing place” I’m pleased to say that I can go to “my healing place” when I need to and I am more able to relax and sleep better and feel more rested as a result. Thank you David

I engaged with Dave on his Weight reduction programme. The results spoke for themselves – down a dress size whilst never dieting or cutting out any special food group. Dave has a great empathetic manner which puts you at ease straight away. It can be painful to talk about your problems – he doesn’t judge – only listens. Dave is able to quickly understand the issues you are experiencing and to incorporate them into the hypnotherapy session. The whole experience leaves you feeling relaxed and motivated. (He is also great with cats) I highly recommend!

My initial thoughts when considering hypnosis for nervousness and panic attacks, while driving on fast roads, were scepticism and wariness. However David was very good at reassuring any worries I had and explaining the procedures. The treatments have not only helped me understand, and work through my fears, without panicking, but have also helped me assess other situations without reacting impulsively to them. I have found that I can get to sleep quicker,without running over situations that would worry me. I have a better quality of sleep and I wake up feeling refreshed, and not over planning the day ahead. The hypnosis sessions have been very helpful and much more constructive and positive than counselling. I thoroughly recommend hypnotherapy with David for anyone experiencing challenges and stress in life.

I had a hypnotherapy session with David as I was struggling with motivation. I was finding it difficult to study and to get motivated to go out to the gym and get active again! David really helped before we started the hypno he did a consultation to find out exactly what I wanted from it. He explained the whole process and answered any questions I had. The hypnotherapy really worked! I’ve been more motivated to go to the gym and study and passed an exam by 84%! Really would recommend David, he’s very professional and really wants to help with what you want to achieve! I’m already checking my calendar to see when I can see him next.

David massively helped me out, he explained everything step by step and listened to what I wanted. I had insomnia that had been steadily getting worse for 6 years, after 1 session I started sleeping better than I had in a long time. It took 3 sessions overall but now it’s been a month and I’ve slept every single night. 5/5 recommendation

I went to David for help with my sleep disorder, from the first appointment David made me feel comfortable, I saw results from the first appointment, I continue to use the techniques he has taught me and my sleep goes from strength to strength. I would highly recommend David!

I just wanted to say a big thank you. I did not think that hypnotherapy would be able to help me get back on track with healthy eating. After some emotional turmoil last year, I did not realise or notice that I had turned to food as a way of coping with circumstances outside of my control. I was so impressed with my first session; I did not think that I would notice a change in myself immediately. Thank you so much for your understanding and none judgemental approach. I felt confident and at ease straight away. I am now on a much healthier path and feel much better for it, both physically and mentally. I will be sure to recommend your services. With many thanks

On Sunday David Webb hypnotised me to not eat chocolate or buy chocolate when I go to the supermarket. I went food shopping last night and didn’t want any chocolate. I bought it because my daughter wanted cream eggs. I have no urge to eat it or want it! I am amazed! Thank you!
