What is Hypnotherapy ?

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state when a person becomes deeply relaxed or highly focussed - much like a daydream, or reading a good book, or a “pre-sleep” state.

This state enhances memory and perceptions - and a professional hypnotherapist initiates and regulates this state to assist desired changes to bring about many beneficial effects.

All of our thoughts and feelings are based on our life experiences and our perception of reality.

Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective way in helping with life issues that may be affecting your health and well-being. It allows you to have the freedom to feel and think the way you want to.

What is it like to be hypnotised?

It has already happened to you!!!

Have you ever driven a familiar route and don’t remember driving a small portion of it?

Have you been so busy that you’ve not heard the phone ring?

Have you ever been so engrossed in a good book that “time flies”?

Have you ever been deeply and pleasantly relaxed on a sun bed at the beach, listening to the waves gently lapping?

It’s a wonderful feeling of calm and relaxation.

The Myths!

You will not lose consciousness and will be aware of everything that is being said and everything going on around you.

You can awaken at any time but it is unlikely that you would want to do so as it is such a pleasant feeling.

Clinical Hypnosis is not stage hypnosis and does not result in bizarre behaviours.

You will not reveal all your secrets. Although the hypnotherapist directs you, it is you that is essentially in control and you reveal only the things that you wish to.
