Clinical Hypnotherapy

Use hypnotherapy to help you make the changes you want

Hypnosis
Hypnosis and hypnotherapy is a perfectly natural, safe, relaxing state of mind, much like a daydream. While in this comfortable state you are able to re-programme your own unconscious mind to alleviate or cure all manner of physical and emotional ills.

‘In therapy, hypnosis usually involves the person experiencing a sense of deep relaxation with their attention narrowed down, and focuses on appropriate suggestions made by the therapist’ (The British Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis).

These suggestions help people make positive changes within themselves. In a hypnotherapy session you are always in control. The therapist helps to facilitate your experience. Hypnotherapy is not about being made to do things, in fact it is the opposite. It is about empowerment.

How does it work?
Hypnosis is thought to work by altering our state of consciousness in such a way that the analytical left-hand side of the brain is turned off, while the non-analytical right hand side is more alert. The conscious control of the mind is inhibited, and the unconscious mind awoken. Since the unconscious mind is deeper-seated, more instinctive force than the conscious mind, this is the part which has to change for the patient’s behaviour, and physical state to alter.
For example, a patient who consciously wants to overcome their fear of spiders may try everything they consciously can do it, but will still fail as long as their unconscious mind retains this fear and prevents the patient from succeeding. Progress can only be made by reprogramming the unconscious mind so that deep-seated instincts and beliefs are abolished or altered.

What Can Hypnotherapy Treat?
Hypnotherapy can be used for lots of different issues, please call me to find out how hypnotherapy can help you.

Therapy sessions
The number of sessions required will vary depending on the condition. Where conditions need more than one consultation, they can be spread out but generally speaking we recommend that you have a second session two or three weeks after the initial one.
Sessions normally last for one hour. The initial session may last longer in order to identify your goals before treatment.

Fees
Stop smoking £95  (one session technique)
For all other conditions £55
