How Hypnotherapy can help you

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, an altered state of awareness that is an everyday occurrence. Being engrossed in a book or car journey having lost time and place and fluent typing are all natural ways in which the mind experiences trance. They all come from within us. The role of the hypnotherapist is to guide a person into and access their own hypnotic state.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is the use of the trance state to redirect one’s inner mind, in the form of thoughts and feelings to a positive desired outcome . By communicating with the subconscious mind hypnotherapy allows us to look towards old outdated beliefs and values within us which are fixed in the subconscious that are causing conflict from within. Unwanted problems take the form of a trance state so the roll of the hypnotherapist is really to de-hypnotise a person from their unwanted thought process

What is Hypno-psychotherapy

What to expect

Every person has at some time experienced trance naturally. Some feel a profound feeling of relaxation while others who find it difficult to relax just experience being very still inside. You will be learning and guided to go into the hypnotic state.

You are always in control.

During hypnosis you have conscious awareness at all times.

If you have never experienced hypnosis do not expect to feel hypnotised. Most people expect to feel unaware and totally out of it. This is because most believe hypnosis to be something it is not. In hypnosis a pesron is fully aware of their surroundings and the voice of the therapist. Due to the media's portrayal, it comes across as something it is not.

Anytime you wish to you are able to terminate the session. You are in charge the feeling comes from within you. You will only accept ideas that are consistent with your beliefs and values.
Consciousness never disappears in hypnosis. The conscious mind with agreement stands aside as an onlooker and can intervene whenever necessary.
Therefore you are always aware and in control.

My approach

There is no fixed protocol as to how I work as each individual is different with their needs.

I work from a holistic view integrating counselling, psychotherapy and EFT with hypnosis. This allows us to work together in sessions with greater benefit.

Sessions are tailored to your specific requirements. This is determined through the first meeting which is about gathering information and setting goals so you known what you wish to achieve and the direction you want to go.
After the initial assessment interventions are used based on the information that is presented. There are many techniques that can be used. The most efficient and appropriate interventions are structured to gain the best results for you.
