About Francis Evans

Francis has developed his own style of Natural Hypnosis based on the teaching model of Milton Erickson and very similar to those used very effectively by the TV personality, Paul McKenna.  This technique is engenders a safe feeling and is pleasant, interesting and effective for regression work, pain control, reprogramming and dialoguing with the unconscious mind.  Hypnosis accesses areas of the psyche that are not available from other therapies.  With this power comes many ethical considerations that require a values oriented therapist.

Francis has had many years experience using hypnosis as a tool, and understands the ease with which hypnotic and post-hypnotic suggestions can be unintentionally be introduced into an ordinary counselling session. When deeper explorations are indicated Francis can teach a client how to develop a hypnotic state to access unconscious resources and utilise these in their own healing process.

NLP used therapeutically works on the unconscious way in which people process information that they are exposed to.  By changing the psychological processes old patterns are irretrievably changed.  Unlike many other therapies, NLP works with or without the content that is causing the problems. Many people arrive at a therapist or counsellor with an external problem but not knowing what is the cause.

During the therapeutic interchange a cause may, but not always, become realised, whereas NLP helps the client make personal changes at the unconscious levels even without the content, gaining the wisdom of the experience without ever needing to labour the emotional charge. NLP, then, tends to be both extremely quick, and pain-free. For this reason NLP is seen as a brief therapy with little need for a long term ongoing therapeutic commitment.  NLP is effective for treating addictions, phobias, relationship difficulties including co-dependency and especially communication problems, and also the belief and emotional components of physical sickness.

Francis brought the internationally recognised Avatar® course to New Zealand in 1992, and began delivering the course the same year. Avatar is a belief management programme based on the understanding that whatever beliefs you hold, both conscious and unconscious will affect your experience of life. Avatar teaches a technology able to uncover and remove ordinary and transparent beliefs permanently.

Avatar is an exceptional programme when working with the beliefs and emotional components of terminal illnesses, such as cancer and AIDS.  While it cannot always change the outcome, it does change the dignity and the certainty of the transition.

Francis has three sons, now in their early twenties, and understands the trials of children and their parents especially in the teenage years.  Using a combination of provocative and informative skills he is able to mediate between the parties and uncover the unconscious hostility that holds loving individuals apart.  He is especially attuned to the uncertainties and dilemmas of young males at this time.

Health is an agreement between the physical body and the mind. The mind is a carrier of conscious and subconscious motivations and directives. Hypnosis is the method of choice for communicating directly with the subconscious mind. Most health issues can be positively influenced using supportive hypnosis. Hypnosis makes it possible for you to redefine how you see yourself and the world differently.
