Anne Holve has been interested in Mental Health issues all her adult life and after gaining a place at St. Hugh’s College, Oxford in 1966, and obtaining an MA degree in Modern Languages, she went to Drama School in London, pursuing a stage career and worked in TV, Radio, Films and the Stage. She also worked as a full time teacher in Primary School for a number of years.
She worked as a Bereavement Counsellor in Camden for four years and then studied Analytical Psychotherapy at the institute of Psychoanalysis at both the London College of Psychotherapy and the Lincoln, but subsequently became fascinated by Hypnotherapy which works very much in the “ here and now “ and the power it can often have, working co-operatively with the client, to change long held, unwanted habits and negative ways of thinking, feeling and behaviour.
She trained at the London College of Clinical Hypnosis, from which she qualified in 2001. She then started in full time private practice, treating a variety of conditions from phobias, to weight control, and anxiety and depression.
In 2006 she added to her knowledge base and trained in Cognitive behavioural therapy where she graduated in 2007. She finds this a very useful adjunct to her hypnotherapy, and often utilizes this method in more long stay patients to modify behavioural patterns and which can be very effectively used in long term anxiety and depression sufferers.
