What does hypnosis feel like?
Most people experience hypnosis as a deeply
relaxing and pleasurable experience You remain in control at all times
and aware of what is being said. In fact the hypnotic state is very natural
and pleasant altered state of awareness, similar to the feeling you have
just before going to sleep.
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is simply therapy done while in a relaxed state of hypnosis. I practice both suggestion and clinical hypnotherapy and hypno-analysis.
How does it work?
This relaxed hypnotic state makes it easy for you to contact a deeper part of you, your Unconscious. Your unconscious mind, as well as storing information and memories and being in charge of many of the body’s functions, is also a deep well of creativity and knowledge. By addressing your unconscious mind it is possible to make deep, long-lasting and often permanent changes and find tailored-made solutions to many problems and issues.
What are the different forms of hypnotherapy you practise?
Suggestion therapy which is suitable for stopping smoking, losing weight, exam nerves, simple confidence issues.
Clinical hypnotherapy which involves dialoguing with your deeper mind to help it come up with new understandings and solutions.
Hypno-analysis which allows the mind to uncover the root cause of a symptom or unwanted behaviour through a series of weekly sessions of free association while in hypnosis. Hypno-analysis aims to bring about a permanent resolution, making a significant difference in the way you feel about yourself. 'Bottled-up' emotions are released in an easy and natural way at your own individual pace, without my imposing my particular view of how things should be.
How do I decide which approach is best?
Ask me for a free initial consultation. As a rough guide, simple issues can respond well to suggestion therapy while chronic, deep seated issues can benefit from hypno-analysis.
How many sessions are required?
Suggestion therapy normally requires only between one to three sessions.. Stopping smoking can be done successfully in one session.
Hypno-analysis will normally take between 6-10 sessions.
