Helping you make the desired changes in your life

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis can be explained as being a state of relaxed focused attention; like being engrossed in a piece of music or daydreaming. In fact, hypnosis is a natural occurring state we enter sometimes daily without realising it.

Hypnotic suggestions can help us to make the desired changes in our lives quickly and effectively as we are more open to new ideas and allow ourselves to internalise them and act upon them.

With the help of hypnotherapy we can change our behaviours, attitudes, beliefs and regulate our emotional responses to live a healthier and happier life.

What problems can hypnosis help with?

Hypnotherapy is effective for a range of issues such as:

• Anxiety & stress
• Panic attacks
• Fears & phobias
• Confidence & self-esteem
• Habits
• Obsessions
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Control pain
• Personal development & raising performance
• Weight loss/weight management
• Stop smoking
• Learn self-hypnosis & meditation

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence based form of therapy. It helps to identify irrational and/or unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs which can influence our emotions and behaviour negatively, turning them around to gain a more positive and realistic attitude and change in behaviour. It is a goal focused method allowing the person to have a structure to their therapy and measure their progress as they go along. These techniques used in conjunction with hypnotherapy (Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy) provide rapid, powerful and sustaining results.

Counselling

The counselling process is more long term than hypnotherapy and less goal focused. It is a good and safe way to explore your feelings and gain insight to your problems and find your own way of resolving emotional issues with the help and support of the counsellor. It is suitable for emotional problems related to the past or present; going through difficult situations in life when you might feel you need support and guidance and help finding a way to move forward.

Sometimes we must stop and look inwards to find the solution we are looking for and counselling can help with this enormously.

Hypnotherapy may be used in conjunction with counselling if suitable and wished by you, but would not take on the specific goal focused frame of working of Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy. By relaxing and positively picturing ourselves as we would like to be, act, think and behave can enhance the counselling process and bring desired benefits to your life. This is however optional and can be discussed further in the session.

Hypnosis is not mind control and cannot make people do things against their will; rather it is always the person being hypnotized who is in control and allows themselves to respond to what is being said. Most people can easily enter hypnosis by relaxing, thinking positively and paying attention to the suggestions given by the therapist.
