PETER J. LUCE: PLYMOUTH HYPNOTHERAPIST.

Peter Luce is a qualified, highly-experienced hypnotherapist, practicing hypnotherapy at his "Avalon Hypnotherapy" clinic in Plymouth Devon. Peter Luce was born in 1956. He has practiced as a hypnotherapist in London, in Plymouth, and in his native Cornwall. Since 1993 he has  been using hypnotherapy to assist people to achieve their goals. His policy is to help clients using the fastest and most effective methods, the better to enable them to achieve happiness and to get on with their lives. Here's what Peter Luce says about how and why he became a hypnotherapist.

"Hypnotherapy enables me to help my clients find real solutions to their problems. As a psychiatric nurse I was always more interested in listening to patients and trying to understand them, rather than just handing out medications. "

"Being a hypnotherapist fits in with my personality and interests. Even in social situations, I have often found that I seem to attract people who need to tell someone about their problems. Fortunately  I have always been fascinated by human beings."

"Studying psychology has taught me a lot- but my greatest teacher has always been my own experience, especially my interactions with the thousands of people whom I meet- each and every one of them unique"

"I have always been inspired by the achievements of men and women who have overcome great difficulties. Having not just read about such people, but also known so many of them personally, gives me an optimistic view of human capabilities."

Peter Luce's background was originally in the nursing profession, training at Springfield University Hospital in South London. 

In the 1980s he studied with the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, one of the very few Hypnotherapy training institutions to have been admitted to the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). The Government regards the UKCP as the representatives of properly qualified professional psychotherapists in this country. Peter Luce's qualifying dissertation for the NCHP was awarded their JP Noble Prize for the best dissertation that year. 

During the 1990s Peter Luce studied psychology at the University of Plymouth- his research project there focused on the psychology of stopping smoking.                           

Throughout this time he continued to extend his knowledge of Hypnotherapy methods, studying with the European Therapy Studies Institute and with the Milton Erickson Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona. This foundation carries on the work of Dr Milton Erickson, who was the greatest hypnotherapist of the 20th Century.

Peter Luce continues to develop his ability to help his hypnotherapy clients. Most recently he has studied for the Certificate in Therapy Supervision with the Iron Mill Institute, Exeter.
