Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a form of complementary therapy that utilises the power of positive suggestion to bring about subconscious change to our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The process itself aims to alter our state of consciousness in a way that relaxes the conscious part of the mind while simultaneously stimulating and focusing the subconscious part. This heightened state of awareness – reached using skilled relaxation techniques – allows the therapist to then make appropriate suggestions.
Hypnosis can be especially helpful in promoting physical, emotional & psychological well being & improve your quality of life. For example, your unwanted habits can be removed & replaced with desired healthy thoughts & behaviours, or destructive messages from your past dealt with & irrational fears removed. Hypnotherapy can be effective with a variety of different issues. If you want to make positive changes in your life it can be an excellent motivator. There may be things from your past that you would like to explore or there may be things in the present that you want to try and change.
Hypnosis has the capacity to work for the majority of individuals but some are more susceptible to suggestions than others. The most important thing to remember is that you must be fully committed to the process and feel that you can place your trust in your hypnotherapist. It’s also important to keep an open mind, as any scepticism may subconsciously dampen your susceptibility.
How does Hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy is often used in conjunction with conventional medicine alongside other therapies & treatments to relieve stress & control pain – increasingly GPs & other medical professionals are recommending it to patients.

Hypnosis is “a wakeful state of focused attention & heightened suggestibility with diminished peripheral awareness”. No-one can be hypnotised against their will, or forced to say or do anything they do not want to. You may have seen this on a silly television show for entertainment!

‘My friend suggested I should try hypnotherapy. At first I was a little apprehensive as it was unknown to me, but i decided to give it a go. I chose to focus on my confidence as I had always been a shy, quiet person, and I had an important event coming up and I wanted to be able to feel more confident to socialise. I had 4 really good sessions where I came away feeling relaxed and calmed, and I went to the event with a completely different mindset and it was great. I feel more confident in myself than i have in a long time. I would highly recommend it.’
