He was granted membership to the British Stop Smoking Association (BSSA), the Association of Professional Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists (APHP); the Association of Complete Mind Therapists (ACMT); the Association of Professional Stage Hypnotists (APSH).

Steve is also a licensed Advanced Practitioner and Trainer of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and EmoTrance ® (ETP). Both EFT and EmoTrance ® are Meridian Energy Therapies (MET); a simple method of taking almost any stressful or emotional concern (energy blockage) and simply melting it away like snow in the sun within just a few minutes.

Imagine a gentle stream that is partially blocked by a boulder and other rocks. Metaphorically speaking, EFT and EmoTrance ® restore your internal stream by removing the boulder and rocks that cause the disruption to your life, allowing the stream to flow again.

Steve practices in Windsor, Berkshire where he lives with his wife, Sarah.
