What is Hypnotherapy

A free introductory discovery session between you and your hypnotherapist lasting thirty minutes is offered. Information will be gathered about your health, wellbeing and presenting  concern to make a decision if hypnotherapy is a viable option.

Hypnotherapy is a state of deep relaxation and concentration where the hypnotherapist will use verbal cues through a tailored personalised plan which is discussed prior to any hypnotherapy session. 

Hypnotherapy engages with the subconscious part of the mind, which we are not consciously aware. This may present as negative beliefs and behaviours of ourselves. Hypnotherapy offers a means to shift from these unhelpful beliefs.  Whilst in a deep relaxed state hypnotherapy encourages positive change by communicating directly to this part of the mind. 

Before hypnotherapy is conducted, you and your hypnotherapist discuss an approach to be used. Following initial assessment, your hypnotherapist will use techniques to bring you to a state of deep relaxation, whilst making suggestions and visualisation specific and personal to you towards your goal. Your hypnotherapist will slowly bring you back from this deep relaxation and clients often report feelings of calm or invigoration.

You will still be aware of what is happening and you remain in control throughout. Hypnotherapy can support a variety of stress related conditions - easing anxiety, habits such as smoking and weight loss are some of the examples however not limited to these. There may be activities in life which have associated phobias or an activity such as public speaking or driving test in which hypnotherapy can provide a versatile approach.

Hypnotherapy can assist in a variety of presenting concerns of which personalised suggestions are likely to be accepted. It should be noted that the process of hypnosis will not be successful if you are not willing to engage in the process.
