Hypnotherapy

It isn’t like you see on the TV or stage. It’s a natural, altered state of consciousness where you have a chance to relax. During a session, a therapist can offer beneficial suggestions that help you make the changes you want to make. Nothing is ‘done to you’, it is a cooperative experience. You remain in complete control and nobody can take over your thinking or mind.

The number of sessions I recommend depends on the presenting issue, but we can discuss this at your first appointment. However, the average number of sessions usually ranges from 2-5 sessions.

I usually teach you self-hypnosis in the first session to enable you to feel in control of your own mind, thoughts, feelings, symptoms and behaviour outside of our sessions.

Hypnosis is an effective treatment choice for a range of problems including acute anxieties, sleep problems, confidence, fears and phobias, stress management, weight loss and smoking cessation.

Using Hypnotherapy is also useful in combination with CBT to embed the new insights you have been working on in a relaxed way.
