What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to effectively and rapidly aid changes in the unconscious mind - which controls our behaviours, feelings, and habits.  

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is simply the deliberate use of the imagination, paralleled with strong focus and relaxation, done well, it can work in the same way as when you are dreaming. So when you go into hypnosis, you simply get very involved with an inner reality, it's just like when you read a good book.

Hypnosis is an entirely natural state lying somewhere in between day dreaming and the initial stages of sleep.

What happens?

You are fully aware of all sounds and what is happening around you, you just feel deeply relaxed, calm and enjoy a pleasant almost dreamlike experience. You remain fully in control and cannot be made to do or think anything you do not agree with! (All those people you may have seen on a stage show, actually want to do those things, they just don’t normally!)

The great thing about hypnosis is that the therapist can communicate directly with the subject’s unconscious mind. This is a far more powerful part of the mind where emotions and intuition come from. So, hyponosis is a safe way to access natural intelligence. Issuing new instructions to create real change in the way you feel and behave. There are no real limits to what you can achieve - the only limit is your desire to change and your ability to identify the changes that you want to make.

Can everyone be hypnotised?  

It is natural state that everyone goes into on a regular basis, have you ever walked to work and not really remember the last 5 mins? As long as you are willing to go into hypnosis you will.

Is it safe?  

Yes. You will not do anything you do not want to do, as you retain the resources to be alert. Of course your session is also monitored.

What will I remember?

Different people remember different things. In general you will recall the process and what was said but you may have some time distortion.

What can you use hypnotherapy for?

Literally anything where there is an unconscious element to the feeling or behaviour. Common areas are – smoking cessation, weight release, confidence, phobias, depression, anxiety, pain control, emotional release, and stress.

Does it work?  

Yes! Because you are working with the part of the brain that makes the real decisions!
