	Dr Mitter is one of the leading hypnotherapists on Harley Street. He also teaches at the European College of Hypnotherapy and conducts workshops for therapists the world over.
	Dr Mitter has an M.Phil from Oxford University and a PhD from Cambridge University. He trained as a therapist both under leading Jungian psychoanalyst Dr Roger Woolger (Other Lives Other Selves) and Dr Keith Hearne (Understanding Dreams) who is on the Advisory Board of the GHSC, the regulatory authority that controls hypnotherapy in the UK.
	Dr Mitter's methods are distinctive in that he always ensures that he discovers the cause of a client's ailment. This is central to his success.
	Dr Mitter offers a highly personalised service which includes a unique email facility whereby severely afflicted clients can write to him and receive replies daily between appointments.
	The great popularity of Dr Mitter's methods derives from the fact that they are imbued with a profound understanding not just of human psychology but of philosophical systems such as Yoga that have fuelled human aspiration for centuries.
	Consultations with Dr Mitter are also distinguished by the fact that he devotes a lot of time to teaching clients self-hypnosis, meditation and creative visualisation so as to empower them eventually to heal themselves.

Welcome to Hypnotherapy on Harley Street. I'm Shomit Mitter and I've made some notes that I hope you will find useful.

If this is the first time you are looking for a hypnotherapist, you may well be nervous. There are a large number of therapists out there and it's difficult to work out which one might suit you best. If you're a bit confused and need some advice, I'd be quite happy to take a call (0207 937 5709) or reply to an email (DrMitter@HypnotherapyOnHarleyStreet.com) to address some of your concerns. Please feel free to do this: there is no "charge" attached to advising you in this way and I see it very much as a part of my approach to help people with all aspects of their problems - and seeking appropriate therapy is often fairly lonely and daunting.

Do have a look around this website and see how it makes you feel. The testimonials in particlar will make you feel more comfortable. They almost all quite make the point that hypnosis is really quite straightforward and that the sessions are perfectly comfortable, relaxing and safe. There is no question of "giving up one's will": the client is always in control.

Please look at the links to How Hypnotherapy Works and What Hypnotherapy Isn't where I have tried to address some of the fears people have about hypnotherapy. If you have some concerns that I have not addressed, please feel free to give me a call or email me: no obligation, no strings attached: just an opportunity to have a chat with someone who works in the area and is in a position to help you.

Of the bullet points above, perhaps the most important is the one that emphasizes how vital it is that hypnotherapists take time to find the cause of their client's problems. Sadly, most hypnotherapists don't do this - they are content to put their clients into a state of hypnosis and make a number of generalised suggestions in the hope that these will be absorbed. This is easy to do and it sometimes works. But I feel that a large part of my success is due to the fact that I am trained to use a more complex set of skills designed to uncover and eradicate the hidden cause of client's problem. Once the cause is identified and dealt with, clients find their symptoms fall away quite effortlessly.

I have listed Some of the Conditions I Treat on a separate page. If you are suffering from a condition that doesn't appear on the list, or if you are confused about what precisely your ailment is (which is quite normal and more common than you may imagine), just call me or drop me an email. You will not be a "burden"; you will not be "wasting my time". You will be very welcome - and you will feel better for having spoken to me.

People are often nervous about their first hypnotherapy session. So in the first session we'll just talk through your problems. We may try a little relaxation if you are comfortable with it - or not if you aren't. You'll always be in control and we'll take things one step at a time. Before you leave I'll give you exercises to work on at home so that eventually you feel confident enough to stop coming to see me.

I'm going to leave you with some photographs of Ten Harley Street so that you have a sense of what to expect when they get to the practice. I look forward to seeing you.

10 Harley Street is a beautiful old Georgian house at the southern end of Harley Street near Cavendish Square.		This is the reception area where the Practice Receptionist will register you.		This is the Waiting Room where I hope you won't have to spend too much time.		This is the room where we'll work. It is bright, spacious and cheerful. I enjoy working here and I am sure you will too.
