I am Gary Smith, the founder of Best Mind Therapy, an award winning Swindon based Clinical Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy practice, dedicated to helping clients overcome mental health challenges using a solution focused approach. My methods integrate solution focused brief therapy, elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro linguistic programming, neuroscience and hypnotherapy.
As the senior lead lecturer at Inspiraology Hypnotherapy Training in Swindon and Cardiff, I also train individuals to become accredited hypnotherapy practitioners, helping to shape the next generation of skilled proffesionals.
My journey into Psychotherapy began as a personal mission to help a family member struggling with fears and sensory issues. Traditional avenues offered limited support, so I chose to educate myself to find an effective, compassionate solution to these challenges.
With over 35 years experience as a senior manager in retail and motor sectors, I've developed a deep understanding of people, business growth and continuous improvement. Today I bring this experience to my therapy practice, helping others improve their lives through focused and practical approaches.
I work with clients of all ages, including children (I have three of my own) because I believe it's essential to equip future generations with tools for a fulfilling life free from anxiety, fear and worry. By helping young people understand and overcome challenges, I aim to empower them with resilience and self assurance.
I specialise in helping clients overcome Anxiety, phobia, OCD, Trauma and PTSD by reducing the intense Fight or Flight responces triggered by past experiences. Using proven techniques, I guide people towards healing and self assurence.
I am a proud member of The National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), The Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) and The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)
I maintain a positive outlook on life and believe that even small changes can make meaningful differences. Together we can mkes lives better.
