A REPORT has placed a Penarth hypnotherapists clinic within the top bracket in the world.

The Penarth Practice - run by Gareth Strangemore-Jones and Enfys Jones - has been been described as "trailblazing" in the hypnotherapy world.

The duo, who founded the Rowan Close-based business in 2014, said they are thrilled.

Mr Strangemore-Jones, who is from Penarth, said the practice is currently taking part in the an international research programme called CORP, which records progress charts for individual customers and charts average progress across the practice as a whole.

He said: "CORP means you can see how well we perform in helping people deal with their relative issues and challenges.

"We will know how they deal with issues and concerns because customers are asked to record - and we will see - their progress in seven key areas of life on a scale ranging from 0-10 which includes thoughts, interactions, activities, confidence, personal resources and strengths, achievements and overall happiness.

"A line graph is plotted for customers to see session by session progress and a block graph showing any change achieved.

"October's CORP report results see our customer's areas improve by 138 per cent - that's more than twice the global average.

"We are very proud of our results, they speak for themselves putting us among the top clinical hypnotherapists in the world."

Ms Jones added: "We are really pleased and very proud.

"We are so passionate about our work and it is wonderful to see our work being recognised."
