A hypnotherapist wants to help people suffering from the scourge of cocaine addiction using the powers of the subconcious mind.
Alan Bates, a TV hypnotist who has appeared on The Graham Norton Show, said he has seen a "major rise" in the number of people seeking help for drug addiction, with the problem now reaching "pandemic" levels.
He said: “In terms of addictions, smoking and alcohol are the typical ones but during the past 15 years cocaine has become more and more of an issue and recently I’m seeing a big rise in people reaching out. People I know have lost everything or even died because of it and I want to help as many people as possible.”
