In the comfort of their own home, clients receive hypnotherapy treatment and counselling. Then, appropriate technical aspects of driving are explained using diagrams and demonstrations.

Finally, when a full understanding is apparent, clients receive practical driving tuition on driving fear/phobia recovery.

Course structure & booking

When clients have previously been competent drivers, completion of the course is structured to assist the recovery of those skills in a single day. This course is not designed to teach someone to drive from scratch in a day as this is rarely possible. The course is always delivered at the clients own pace.

For clients who have never really excelled as drivers, the course is designed to help them overcome any 'block' and create significant improvement in a short time. Nervous learners should find their confidence develop significantly and continue to take lessons from an approved instructor near their home.

Priority is given to any specific issue a client may wish to deal with and the client dictates what is worked upon to achieve optimum results.

Booking, please call for an informal chat and availability of our course which is conducted Nationwide.

The hypnotherapy element

Any emotional blocks to driving are addressed through gathering information and the delivery of a hypnotherapy session, this includes taking health and background details and the client learning a self-hypnosis technique.

Using self-hypnosis at home helps clients consolidate the gains made on the course and they report the effect to be very relaxing.

Also, counselling about any driving incidents and technical lessons about any specific issues are delivered lasting up to three hours. This part of the procedure is carried out at the client's home (and the technical lessons in the car).

Hypnotherapy is used primarily to help clients successfully overcome internal conflict. Nervous Driver Nationwide aims to achieve this through the delivery of hypnotherapy treatments specifically designed to overcome driving problems.

Hypnotherapy can successfully be used to treat driving fears, anxiety, nervousness, panic, anger and phobias. Also, clients suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can be helped using our techniques.

Technical skills element

If a client has any specific issues they wish to deal with such as motorway driving or overtaking, these issues will be worked upon as a priority.

For clients requiring post accident training, a review of the incident is carried out and alternative driving solutions examined which may have prevented, or reduced the severity of the accident.

The remainder of the course (time permitting) is delivered using a structured approach based upon a tried and tested syllabus. The syllabus I use is designed to instil confidence in drivers of all levels of ability on all types of roads.

The technical aspects of driving are covered by defining objectives and explaining what is required to meet them. Demonstrations are then carried out either on paper with models or driving the car if required. The client is then ready to proceed to the driving element of the course.

The practical driving element

Upon successfully completing the technical aspects, practical experience is initiated. Short refreshment breaks are taken throughout the day to prevent fatigue and to recap on areas covered.

Our course includes the use of a dual-controlled 1.9 litre tdi car. However, clients may use their own vehicle providing it is roadworthy and appropriately insured. For the foreseeable future, I will carry out the training personally.

There is no test at the end of the course but simply an assessment process where the client assesses their own level of improvement with my guidance.
