This is a site i have completed for a client and was launched over the weekend.

Dr. Turner's approach aims to integrate orthodox medicine with the therapeutic techniques of medical hypnotherapy to promote an holistic approach to genuine healing. His emphasis is down-to-earth and practical. He has particular interest in using hypnotherapy to assist patients in developing a personal sense of self-control based on improved self-esteem. With this development comes a natural and well-grounded trend towards confidently effecting behavioural changes aimed at promoting personal physical and mental health.

The website conforms to Strict xHTML & CSS. It also incorporates a backend system that runs on PHP & mySQL to allow client to edit and update website's content.
