What is Hypnotherapy?

We provide an individually tailored approach through clinical hypnotherapy combined with strategic psychotherapy. Our therapy is solution-focused and identifies the 'how' of the problem rather than the 'why'. Our clients are supported through learning about their thoughts, feelings and behaviours and developing new skills to 'do' the thinking behind the problem differently. 

Have you ever jumped in the car and not remembered the drive to your destination? We fall in and out of states of hypnosis hundreds of times a day during tasks we complete in autopilot mode. During hypnosis, you will feel calm and relaxed, and be more open to suggestions associated to the behaviour or habit you wish to change. 

Anyone can be hypnotised provided they want to change their thought pattern or behaviour. There is no right or wrong way to experience hypnosis and each person experiences hypnosis differently in terms of varying degrees of relaxation. 

Clinical hypnosis is completely different to stage hypnosis you may have seen in shows or on TV. When under hypnosis, you remain completely in control, fully aware and able to open your eyes at any time you choose. You also have the ability to choose whether to accept the suggestions provided to you by the Hypnotherapist. 

Many traditional hypnotherapists utlise scripts with direct suggestions and commands. Hypnotherapists utilising modern hypnosis use permissive language and conversational patterns to support a more tailored and individualised approach to treatment.
