I have run two groups at the National Migraine Centre for pain management using hypnosis and we are about to start a third group on 5 November 2012. Anybody interested should contact the National Migraine Centre (www.nationalmigrainecentre.org.uk).

It was interesting to see the recent report on www.alcoholconcern.org.uk about the cost to the country of middle-aged drinkers. I have seen a number of clients in this category, and usually they do not want to give up alcohol completely but they recognise that they are no longer in control. They want to be able to make conscious decisions as to when to drink and how much, and then feel comfortable with their new habits.

It has been proving to be a little more complicated than I expected but, with guidance from Chris and Nick, we seem to be getting close to launch date. I am looking forward to hearing from users, and to creating the second series of apps, to be launched about the end of the year.
