Hypnotherapy is a relaxing experience to enable positive change in your life.
I will use a combination of hypnosis and talking therapy to bring about changes in your thoughts, feelings and behaviours at a deeper than conscious level; the subconscious level, where we automatically respond. The beliefs we all hold about ourselves (positive or negative) are stored within our subconscious mind, as are many of our behaviours, patterns and habits. These behaviours can be protective and useful, but where they are unhelpful, I can help you to change your deep-rooted, automatic responses.
During hypnosis insight can be gained through a new perspective and adjustments can be made to limiting beliefs that have influenced or directed your life, sometimes resulting in radical change or gentle differences that increase positively over time.
Therapeutic techniques applied during hypnotherapy are usually quicker than the traditional forms of psychotherapy or counselling due to accessing the subconscious, consequently hypnotherapy is becoming increasingly popular.
Please be assured, I cannot control your mind or free will. Any any time during a session you can open your eyes.
Hypnotherapy can actually teach you how to master your own state of awareness so you can affect your own bodily functions and psychological responses.
To access your sub-conscious, I will gently guide you into a relaxed and open state of awareness. When you are calm and relaxed, you are more open and responsive to new ideas and positive reinforcements. I may use a combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP processes so you get the best possible results.
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind similar to daydreaming. People are often surprised that they can hear what is being said and can move or speak if they want to. Everybody’s experience of it is different and how an individual feels may vary each time they go into hypnosis. Some people describe hearing every word the therapist says, while others find their mind wanders; many people lose track of time when they are in hypnosis. How aware or unaware you are during the process is unimportant and does not affect the efficacy of the session. Relaxation isn’t essential to hypnosis, but most people describe being very relaxed during and after the session and more enjoyable than they expected.
NLP stands for ‘Neuro Linguistic Programming’. It looks at the way in which we think, store and process our thoughts, our language patterns, our behaviours and programming and how we can change them for the better to enhance our life.
This depends on the presenting issue or problem. A lot can be gained from having just one, one hour session but I highly recommend a course of 4-6 sessions to gain the most benefit.
