December 2012 - Costa Calida Chronicle

Firstly I would like to take this opportunity
to thank all my clients, past and future for
making the Phoenix Hypnotherapy clinics
the LEADING permanently based clinics on
the Costas Blanca, Cálida and Almeria and to
wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a
prosperous New Year for 2013.
Recent research shows that while 52%
of participants in a resolution study were
confident of success with their goals, only 12%
actually achieved their goals. Most people’s
New Year Resolutions are to lose weight, kick
the habit of smoking or change their lives
for the better, either through finances, or by
becoming more positive. Maybe they would
like to rid themselves of a phobia or take
control of negative thoughts and feelings.
That is where Phoenix Hypnotherapy can
help. Mark can help you stop smoking easily
in only one 30 minute session by using a
technique called the Rob Kelly Method. He
has been using the same method since 2003
- it has a success rate of 92.5%*. It has
such a high success rate simply because
Mark does not take every prospective client
on; they may not be truly ready, so every
single client has a completely FREE 30
minute consultation immediately prior to the
hypnotherapy session. This is to assess your
suitability.
Until the end of January, Mark will give you
an incentive to stop smoking by offering you
the chance to become a non-smoker using
this method for only 100€ (usually 140€)
and together he can help you become a nonsmoker.
Maybe you would like to lose weight and
then control it once you have reached your
target. The HypnoBand has featured on
many programmes, such as Channel 4’s
‘Embarrassing Bodies’. It has also featured
in countless news articles worldwide.
Phoenix Hypnotherapy pioneered The
Hypnoband programme in Spain in 2009,
and most readers are intelligent enough
to realize that this type of treatment, the
leading Virtual Gastric Band, is not just a
simple one-off session, but a Programme of
4 carefully designed sessions spread out over
a period of time and again until the end of
January, Mark will offer this unique treatment
for 275€ for the whole treatment.
Please do not be confused with any other
treatment. Mark is the only registered
HypnoBand practitioner on the Costa
Blanca, Cálida and Almeria Maybe you only
need to lose a small amount of weight and
just want that extra boost, well Phoenix
Hypnotherapy still continues to offer a oneoff
Weight Control Session at a special
price of 75€ (normally 85€).
Gift Certificates are available.
If you are unfortunate enough to suffer
from Depression, Phobias, Anxiety, Sexual
Problems, Panic Attacks or any other negative
obstacles in your mind, why not book a free
consultation to discuss your problems in a
confidential and safe environment? Mark only
works from registered clinics and for your
piece of mind he is registered in Spain with a
Spanish Governing Body.
Phoenix Hypnotherapy can even help with
your blood pressure problems using the new
HypnoTension programme.
Make that resolution to yourself today - to
change for the better. Pick up the phone and

Key Message from Social Services and
Charities during Conexiones Event
How do social services work in the Valencia
region?
What help is really out there for British
nationals?
These are two of the questions that
Spanish social workers and English
speaking associations tried to answer in the
“ConeXiones Social” event that was held in
Alicante.
Page 26
During the event, the social services teams
spoke about the services on offer, including
home help, meals on wheels and panic alarms
for vulnerable people who live on their own.
They stressed how important it is that people
keep their documentation up to date. Having
a padrón, “residencia” passport and proof of
income is essential for accessing almost all
social services support.
They also explained the importance of
planning ahead, as there is often a waiting
list before people can access social services
support. They said that having the funds to
be able to cover that gap privately can be
essential.
The English speaking welfare associations
who attended also had the opportunity to
find out about these services and how to
access them as well as explaining to the
social services what they can do. The English
speaking associations illustrated how much
help they can offer, ranging from hospital
visits to equipment loan and nursing care.
The British Consul, Paul Rodwell, attended the
event and opened by explaining briefly what
the Consulate’s role is in supporting British
nationals and highlighting the importance of
knowing what help is out there from local
town halls and charities.
After the event he said “I would like to
extend my sincere thanks to all the social
services departments and English speaking
associations who attended and took the
time to present their services. As always,
I was impressed by how much support is
available, but realise that this may not always
be enough. As such, I urge British nationals
to think about any possible care needs they
may have in the future and make plans. It’s
also really important for people to make sure
they are properly registered with the Spanish
authorities and are familiar with the services
their town hall can offer”.
Charities who attended the event were
ACASA, RBL, Age Concern, MABS, HELP
Marina Alta, HELP Vega Baja, HELP Benidorm,
RAFA Costa Blanca, RAFA Costa Blanca North,
Help at Home Costa Blanca and Samaritans
in Spain.
