overcome binge eating

Debbie Williams with Dr Richard Bandler, co-founder of NLP

NLP Master Practitioner, trainer, hypnotherapist and clinical consultant to Just Be Well, No 1 Harley St, London

Debbie has helped a broad spectrum of people: from life coaching corporate clients to Olympic athletes. Her clients have overcome many issues, such as anger or fear of public speaking. And the work she has done with self-made business owners has allowed them to achieve results they had previously only ever dreamt of.

Debbie has guided many people to successfully triumph over weight loss, binge eating, bulimia and other food-related issues. Many times after helping clients she has gone on to coach them to live their life in more positive, satisfying ways and to reach goals they once thought unattainable.

Debbie started her NLP training in 1994 and went on to be a graduate of the now famous year-long programme at Kings College, London with Dr Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP. She then assisted Richard and Paul McKenna in more than 40 7-10-day NLP courses, plus numerous shorter ones. Debbie regularly receives referrals from Paul. Debbie also assisted Tony Robbins, one of the world’s most respected life coaches, on his UK seminars over a 10-year period. She has trained with many other innovators too, including Steven Brookes at BHR Brittish Hypnosis Research.

Debbie advocates asking yourself possibility questions if you really want to move forward in life, for example:

  • How can I work smart (not hard)?
  • How can I make more money than I know what to do with? How can I be worth 10 times more, 100 times more, 1000 times more?
  • How can I make my life more rewarding, satisfying and happier now?

These questions set your mind on a new, more positive track, and, as she knows from her own experience and that of her clients, they can have an almost miraculous effect.

Debbie makes a point of including questions like these on her self help CDs.

She says: “One of my goals is to duplicate the work I do in my therapy sessions to help as many people as possible in a way that is affordable for all. Whilst you can only do so much on a CD, I know that if you listen and master the techniques and play the trance track regularly, it will make a massive positive difference to your life.”

She has taken the following courses: effective counselling; psychological approaches for pain control; understanding depression; solution-focused therapy; understanding and stopping addictive behaviour, accelerated learning and quantum reading. Her in-depth knowledge of the latter two areas has enabled her to help many clients excel in exams.

Debbie is a firm believer in giving back to the community and, for many years, used to teach NLP at Adult Education and local colleges. She believes in helping people in most need—even if they lack the means to pay for it. As a result, she offers her products to homeless centres, prisons, women’s refuges, cancer support groups, addiction centres for young people and other organisations at greatly reduced prices.

Debbie’s interest in personal development began in the late 1980s, when she used it to help turn her retail business and her life around. She initially trained with Tony Robbins, Penny Tomkins and James Lawley. Her initial hypnotherapy training was with British Hypnosis Research’s (BHR) Stephen Brookes, the leading Ericksonian hypnosis expert, and the respected psychotherapist and co-founder of Mindfields, Joe Griffin.

Then she took a year long course, run by Richard Bandler and Paul McKenna, at Kings College London. Following this, she was invited to assist on up to six courses a year including: NLP Practitioner; Master Practitioner; Trainer Training; and in-depth hypnosis among many others. She assisted for well over 10 years until the birth of her son in 2005. She still assists Paul today.
