What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation, achieved in a therapy session by simply listening to the therapist’s voice and, if you choose, relaxing music.  Once so wonderfully relaxed it is possible for your subconscious mind to concentrate on positive ideas, behaviours and life changes that are beneficial and wanted by you.  No one can make you do anything you do not want to do.  It is part of the therapist’s job to construct suggestions that are acceptable to your subconscious mind.
 

Hypnosis is not sleep, your subconscious mind will always be aware of what is being said and where you are, although when so relaxed you may choose not to consciously recall every word.  You cannot get stuck in hypnosis, remember it is a natural state and you are always in control.

Would you be surprised to know that you have already been in a light hypnosis many times?  When just waking up you will have travelled from sleep, through the alpha state to normal waking.  Also when concentrating on a book or television programme, driving a familiar journey, daydreaming while performing a routine task – you are often in a light level of hypnosis.

You cannot be hypnotised against your will – any therapy is a partnership and my job is to help you achieve your goals, co-operating together for your benefit.

What Can Hypnotherapy Do?

Hypnotherapy is a complimentary rather than alternative treatment which means that for medical conditions it will work effectively in conjunction with your usual medical care – perhaps, for instance, with irritable bowel syndrome.  But there are also many other non-medical conditions where hypnotherapy can help - like low self esteem, low mood, stop smoking and exam nerves.

These are just some of the conditions that can be helped with hypnotherapy, but as everyone is different you may feel you want to contact me in confidence to see how I can help you.

• IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) – this can be a debilitating condition, but it has been proven that it responds well to suggestion and imagery in hypnosis.  Sometimes there is an underlying emotional issue that continues to aggravate IBS, this can be discharged using hypnoanalysis.
• Low Self Esteem - many people believe they are not worthy – not worthy of compliments, not worthy of success, not worthy of love.  It is possible to challenge these thought processes and discover who you really are – a wonderful human being.
• Low Mood – not being where you want to be.  Find ways to future happiness and fulfillment – making positive changes.
• Stop Smoking – hypnotherapy is one of the most effective ways to help you become a non-smoker because it allows your subconscious mind to take on board the new ideas rather than relying on will-power.
• Skin Conditions – hypnotherapy can be very effective in controlling some skin conditions, using suggestion.
• Weight Issues – a new way of looking at eating – no diets!  If there is an emotional element, that can be discharged too.
• Unwanted Habits – respond well to suggestion.
• Exam Nerves (Driving Test, A Levels) - looks at which part of the exam you are anxious about and uses suggestion to help that element.
• Bladder Problems – again, suggestion therapy can make a very significant difference to some bladder problems.
• Insomnia – suggestion works well here.  I will teach you self hypnosis which is very effective for insomnia.
• Stress – there are many techniques to help with stress.  I will teach you some of them so that you can use them yourself anytime.
