Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy that utilises hypnosis. The aim of hypnotherapy is to relax the conscious part of the mind using various relaxation techniques so you then have heightened focus and concentration and become more open to suggestions in order to bring about change to thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Hypnotherapy is not new in fact it is said to be over 5000 years old.

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention that allows the subconscious mind to become more receptive to positive suggestions and visualisations. It is a powerful tool that we use in hypnotherapy to help our clients achieve their desired outcomes.

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a form of mind control, and clients remain fully in control of their thoughts and actions throughout the session. In fact, hypnosis is a completely voluntary process that requires the client’s active participation and cooperation.

During a hypnosis session, the hypnotherapist guides the client into a relaxed state of mind and body. This state of deep relaxation allows the conscious mind to become less active, while the subconscious mind becomes more open and receptive to suggestion.

In this state of hypnosis, the hypnotherapist communicates positive suggestions and visualisations to the client, with the goal of helping them achieve their desired outcomes. For example, if a client is seeking to quit smoking, the hypnotherapist might suggest that they now have a natural aversion to cigarettes and feel empowered to resist the urge to smoke.

Hypnosis is a safe and effective way to help clients overcome a variety of challenges, including anxiety, phobias, and bad habits. It is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that can produce rapid and lasting results.

At our hypnotherapy practice, we use a range of hypnotic techniques to help our clients achieve their goals. We believe that every individual has the ability to create positive change in their lives, and hypnosis is a powerful tool that can help facilitate this change.

At its simplest definition, the subconscious mind refers to the part of the mind that operates below the level of conscious awareness. It is a powerful force that influences our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, often without our realising it.

During hypnotherapy, we work with the subconscious mind to help our clients make positive changes in their lives. By accessing this deeper level of consciousness, we can bypass the critical factor of the conscious mind and communicate directly with the subconscious.

The subconscious mind is where our beliefs, emotions, and memories are stored. It is the part of the mind that controls our automatic responses, such as breathing and heart rate, and it is also the source of our creativity and intuition.

Through hypnotherapy, we can help our clients tap into the power of their subconscious minds to overcome a variety of challenges, such as anxiety, phobias, and bad habits. By communicating positive suggestions and visualisations directly to the subconscious, we can help our clients create new patterns of thought and behaviour that support their desired outcomes.

Hypnotherapy is a safe, effective way to harness the power of the subconscious mind and make lasting changes in your life. Whether you’re struggling with a specific issue or simply want to enhance your personal growth and well-being, we invite you to explore our hypnotherapy services and learn more about the power of the subconscious mind.

At our hypnotherapy practice, we believe in taking a personalised approach to each client’s needs and goals. However, there are certain elements that are common to most hypnotherapy sessions.

First, the hypnotherapist will spend some time getting to know the client and their reasons for seeking hypnotherapy. This may involve discussing the client’s goals, any challenges they are facing, and their medical history.

Next, the hypnotherapist will guide the client into a state of deep relaxation. This may involve asking the client to focus on their breathing, or using techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation.

Once the client is in a state of hypnosis, the hypnotherapist will communicate positive suggestions and visualisations to the client. These suggestions are tailored to the client’s specific needs and goals, and are designed to help the client create new patterns of thought and behaviour that support their desired outcomes.

Throughout the session, the client remains fully in control of their thoughts and actions, and is able to terminate the hypnosis at any time if they choose to do so. The hypnotherapist acts as a guide, helping the client to access their own inner resources and create positive change in their lives.

At the end of the session, the hypnotherapist will guide the client out of the hypnotic state and back to full waking consciousness. The client may feel relaxed, refreshed, and more focused on their goals.

An audio recording (MP3) will be provided from your session for you to use at home, which you will be able to play on your phone or device. This will help to reinforce the positive suggestions and visualisations which we have done during the session. There may also be relevant tasks for you to do between sessions.

Overall, a hypnotherapy session is a safe, non-invasive way to help clients overcome a variety of challenges, including anxiety, phobias, and bad habits. At our hypnotherapy practice, we strive to create a supportive, nurturing environment where clients can feel comfortable exploring their inner world and creating positive change in their lives.

Hypnotherapy is a safe and non-invasive form of therapy that has been shown to be effective in helping clients overcome a variety of challenges, including anxiety, phobias, and bad habits. However, it is important to note that hypnotherapy is not a magic cure and requires active participation from the client.

During a hypnotherapy session, the hypnotherapist acts as a guide, helping the client to access their own inner resources and create positive change in their lives. The suggestions and visualisations communicated during the session are tailored to the client’s specific needs and goals.

The success of hypnotherapy largely depends on the client’s willingness to participate and engage with the process. It is important to approach hypnotherapy with an open mind and a positive attitude. Additionally, it is important to note that hypnotherapy is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment, and should be used in conjunction with other forms of therapy as needed.
