Having periodically visited these forums and having lurked for a while I thought I had better join properly. So for the time being your stuck with me!
I work as a Psychotherapist and Independent Counsellor in private practice with clients throughout the UK as well as providing Corporate work including Motivational and Health & Safety related services.
I use Clinical Hypnosis on pretty much a daily basis and although I have taught & coached others in Stage Hypnosis I prefer to perform that purely for close family & friends as I believe it's not compatible with my professional role re therapy. Also, that just isn't my scene.
My main interests are Mentalism, Escapology and Illusion although I have an interest in all forms of magic. I'm not adverse to using some of these effects within my day to day work where they help focus attention or amplify a point but I don't make my living out of what is really a hobby/addiction which has at times taken over. I am seriously considering the option of forming an act but if that goes ahead it won't be until next year at the earliest. Other things have to be sorted first and I won't proceed unless I am convinced what i do is professional enough.
I've not used the standard code as yet because I can't decide which level I should declare myself as. No doubt that will become apparent in due course. I am well over 18 though!!!
WELL OVER 18!!! 
Looking forward to chatting to you all. Hopefully learning some new things and hopefully able to throw some interesting bits and pieces in myself.
