IF YOU'VE got the hump, a visit to Lois Tilbrook could be just the ticket.
Dr Tilbrook, an all-rounder if ever there was one - anthropologist, psychologist, painter, sculptor, and now psychotherapist, has launched a new practice in Cambridge which she hopes will help stressesd-out businessfolk.
"I am very interested in working with people who feel they have a hump and want to get over it," she says, "and it is very rewarding to see people achieve this."In less stiff-necked countries, like the US and Dr Tilbrook's own Australia, what she is offering would be described as a visit to the shrink.Her leaflets currently circulating in Cambridge call it "better outcomes therapy", including hypnotherapy.
Her targets are the stressed executives who feel themselves to be under attack, eat and drink too much to try and feel better.
They may be close to opting out of work or they may be battling on, almost literally, fighting everyone in sight.
Word is getting round about Dr Tilbrook and her appointments book is filling up.She is married to super boffin, Dr Tony Hooley, founder of 1 ? Ltd at St John's Innovation Centre, and is already a well-known figure in the tech circuit in her own right - she has been commissioned to create etchings for the London Stock Exchange's Techmark Awards.
As an artist she runs classes and special weekends and is an expert in art history as well as the hands-on stuff.
One of the aspects of being an artist has guided her towards psychotherapy, the sitting for long periods with her sculpture subjects, talking in depth about the important things in life."Men in particular come to see me," she says, "sometimes after carrying one of my pamphlets around for a while.

says psychotherapist Dr Lois Tilbrook.
...
Lois trained in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy and now has a practice in Cambridge.Her academic background includes anthropology and history, and she has wide working experience including business, education and organisation.She is particularly interested in the application of creative solutions to stress, especially as this affects prformance.
"The therapeutic relationship, based on total trust and cofidentiality, is the cornerstone of successful therapy.The dedicated personal attention by someone who is outside of the situation, and trained to listen and to spot and relate patterns of thought and behaviour, can prove invaluable to an individual seeking to draw their thoughts together and sort out their emotions.Life experience of the therapist helps, there is nothing like it."
Lois can be contacted on 01223 462 712.Her practice is in Ravensworth Practice, CB1, Cambridge.
