Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a safe and reliable method of treatment for a wide range of problems, such as anxiety, panic attacks, weight loss, stress management, smoking cessation and phobias. It can help to break certain behaviour patterns, such as nail biting, blushing or over-eating. It can also help to over-come nerves, e.g., for a job interview or driving test. It is non-addictive, has no harmful side effects and is suitable for most people. It is a natural method of using an individual’s inner resources to bring about positive changes to their emotional and psychological well-being.  Hypnotherapy complements conventional medicine, but anyone with an existing or recurring medical condition is advised to check with their GP before their first therapy session.

How does it work?

The hypnotherapist will simply talk to you in such a way as to induce a state of profound relaxation. Whilst in this enjoyable hypnotic state, you will become open to any therapeutic suggestions made for your benefit, as your subconscious mind will have become especially receptive and alert. This can bring about profound changes to your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Will I be aware of what is happening?

You will be fully aware of all that is happening. You remain in full control and will be able to recall everything after the session. You cannot be influenced to do anything against your will whilst under hypnosis. At any time whilst you are under hypnosis, you can bring yourself out of this state by merely opening your eyes.
