GHR Hypnotherapist Wins Award for Best Medical App

At this year's Best App Ever Awards, hypnosis app Sleep Deeply, the brainchild of GHR practitioner Darren Marks, won the accolade of Best Medical App in the Android division. The awards are won according to a public vote and this year more than one million people from around the world voted for Android and iOS applications.

Smartphone applications have become the latest self-development and self-help tools for techniques like hypnotherapy and Darren has pioneered their effective use and integration into this medium. Sleep Deeply is just one of a popular range of bestselling apps now available on all mobile phone platforms. They simulate, as closely as possible, what it's like to see a real hypnotherapist. The applications, which can be found in the iTunes app store, include iPhone and iPad apps along with hypnosis apps for Google's Android platform, Blackberry, Nokia and Windows. We understand that each app includes video explanations of Hypnosis, textual support material as well as high quality hypnosis audio sessions. With a free taster app entitled Relax Completely and low cost paid apps, these programmes are claimed to be revolutionising access to the world of self improvement.

"I'm really honoured to have received this award" said Darren. "Every day I still find it incredible and humbling that this technology has allowed me to connect with and support hundreds of thousands of people worldwide and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who voted for us."

Darren, director of Hypnotherapist Direct Ltd, also runs busy private practices in London & Hertfordshire. He holds the Senior Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice from the GHR and his work often features in both the specialist and popular media.
