You may be wondering what all this hypnosis ‘stuff’ is about…yes, I use the word ‘stuff’ as I hear many people, including friends of mine describe what they ‘think’ hypnosis is, what it will ‘make’ them feel like, asking if they will do ‘quirky’ things under hypnosis, etc. Ok, let me help you dispel some of the myths so that I can put your mind at rest.

Hypnosis can be a very useful way for you to move forward and achieve your goals in life.
Many people don’t know what to expect the first time they try hypnosis so here are some simple notes:

• The hypnotherapist will only amplify your own will power
• After hypnotherapy there is no loss of memory
• Under hypnosis you will never lose control
• At the end of a session you will feel relaxed and more in control

Hypnosis usually involves you experiencing a deep sense of relaxation with your attention narrowed down and focused on appropriate suggestions made by me the therapist.  Most of these suggestions are elicited from you and I discussing what it is specifically that has brought you to contact me today.  This is fundamental, as you are unique in your own right and have particular ‘things’ that motivate and drive you and your behaviours.  I find out what makes you tick and then utilise my experience to hand pick what techniques and strategies may work best for you.

Fortunately the days are gone where people’s perceptions are that of waving watches and controlling people’s minds.  Hypnotherapy is nothing like stage hypnosis, where you may have seen people behaving in the most bizarre of ways.  Just to reiterate, you are always in control and you cannot be made to do anything against your will.  Which is why it is imperative that you want to make that change NOW! 

We are in a trance like state most of the time.  The only time we are not is during non-dreaming sleep.  How many times have you been somewhere else in your mind whilst doing an activity.  For example, while reading and then you realise that you cannot recall what you have just read, or on a journey and you find it difficult to recall parts of it when you arrived.

Your Conscious Mind is the part that is rational, sometimes impulsive and logical.

Your Unconscious Mind, or some people call it the Subconscious…. is the gatekeeper to your beliefs, values and holds your long term memory.  This fabulous piece of equipment holds powerful resources that can empower you to make changes.

 When you want to change, your unconscious mind has probably already communicated with your conscious mind and given you the go ahead to do this now.

Hypnotherapy is one of the most successful forms of change therapy for weight reduction, obesity, overeating, smoking cessation and phobias and can be effective for an array of different issues, problems, and difficulties.  Call me now to discuss your individual needs.

Combining NLP techniques with Hypnotherapy, brings depth and additional power to your sessions that can allow behavioural changes to take place much faster.

I cannot do “the magic wand approach” and in a few moments magically remove all the problems without the individual having to make any kind of change or do any kind of work whatsoever! I have trained with and discussed hypnosis and hypnotherapy with some of the most notorious experts in our field. No therapist or practitioner can guarantee 100% success rate, and I am suspicious when this is claimed. You receive my very best attention from my experience, skills and qualifications, and we work together to maximise your results.  Throughout each session, I ask you to be honest about any changes you are noticing.  These can vary from no change yet, to some changes noticed, to significant changes being made instantly.  Together we find which particular technique, strategy or intervention works best for you; hence,  my programmes are tailored to your particular needs.  Teamwork in our sessions is paramount!  A desire to change is fundamental! 

I am generally booked up a few weeks in advance, so don’t delay.  Contact me today for further information about Hypnotherapy and what it is you want to achieve. I’d be delighted to hear from you.
