What is Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state where the analytical, conscious part of your mind becomes relaxed and easily distracted. We all enter into a form of hypnotic trance on a daily basis, often when we’re doing something that has become second nature to us like driving on a familiar route, washing the dishes or tying our shoe laces. When we allow our conscious thoughts to daydream, our unconscious mind becomes more open and receptive to communication.

What is hypnotherapy

As a hypnotherapist, I utilise this altered state of perception to help you let go of unhelpful, limiting beliefs. I am wholly appreciative of the powerful connection between the mind and body, and the astonishing ability of the unconscious to heal itself both physically and emotionally. Hypnotherapy is a highly effective treatment that can support an individual’s return to health and wellbeing by tapping into their natural unconscious resources. I provide individually tailored treatments from a unique blend of the following four approaches:

Curative Hypnotherapy

This is a highly specialised technique that is distinguished from all other forms of hypnotherapy by its unique aims and objectives. Rather than focusing on the problem itself, curative hypnotherapy seeks to find and then correct the root cause behind it so that the symptoms can be disposed of completely and permanently. After all, if your unconscious has gone to all this effort to create and maintain an undesirable behaviour, emotion, symptom or issue, then it must have a reason why. If this is not addressed, the symptom could return or possibly manifest itself in some other way. Curative hypnotherapy is an enjoyable and pain-free way to explore why your problem exists, helping you to update your response to the initial cause so that you can let go and move on

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

Solution focused hypnotherapy recognises that you already know how to live without your problem, so why wait another day, week, month or year to live without it now. This goal-oriented, evidence based therapy helps you to reconnect with your inner resources so that you are empowered to find the solution to your issue. This is a brief therapy that brings rapid results. The emphasis is on how you imagine your life being different, shifting your focus from what you fear to what you want.

NLP & Coaching

Neuro-Linguistic Programming can help eliminate inner conflict, limiting beliefs and negative emotions by reframing the way you experience the world. Each of us has a unique filter through which we view ourselves and those around us, which is why we may all respond differently to the same set of circumstances. By becoming aware of this process, you have the power to take control of your thoughts and behaviours so that positive changes can be made more quickly.

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy

Combining CBT with hypnosis, this cutting edge technique helps you to change the way you think and behave. By separating yourself from your thoughts and emotions, you’ll find it easier to transition out of a “stuck” mentality and into a more resourceful state of mind.
