Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is recognised to be a powerful agent for lasting change.

Hypnosis is a very natural mind & body experience, it is characterised by a deep sense of relaxation. In fact we slip in and out of natural trance states all the time, while watching television, reading a book or driving! There are 2 distinct phases to the treatment available using conscious hypnosis:

Suggestion Therapy
This is used for changing habits like smoking, over eating, stress management etc., Treatment is usually short term. The client is provided with a CD to reinforce the work.

Hypno-Psychotherapy
Endeavours to find the root Cause of psychological problems and to bring about Permanent change. Original causes of distress are released and symptoms are relieved.

Commonly asked questions:

Shall I be aware of what is happening?
Yes, most people feel they never ‘went under’. They are aware of their surroundings but their attention is focused inwards. ’ Clients have described the state of hypnosis as: ‘like being in a day dream and being very, very relaxed’. Anyone can go into hypnosis if they are willing.

Could I be influenced to do anything against my will?
No, in fact you would be shocked out of hypnosis immediately any such action was mentioned.

How many sessions will I need?
Everyone is unique. However hypnosis can bring about rapid change in a really efficient and lasting way.
