What is Hypnotherapy


Hypnotherapy is a powerful, effective therapy that will enable you to communicate with your subconscious mind. This part of your mind contains all of your experiences and memories, and has the resources to provide solutions to your problems, whether physical, emotional or mental.
Hypnotherapy has been practised since ancient times and with the recognition of its highly efficient and gentle approach has again become a therapy of choice for many people.
Hypnosis is not a state of sleep but an altered state of awareness in which you are in control and aware of what is happening. Whilst in this state you can access the deepest regions of your mind, free yourself of your problems and gain the greatest benefit.
Hypnotherapy helps you to resolve your problems by enabling you to connect your thoughts and feelings, learn about yourself and gain a new, more beneficial perspective on life.

    Hypnotherapy - Frequently Asked Questions:


  • Can anyone be hypnotised?
  • In the clinical setting most people who want to be hypnotised can be hypnotised.
  • Could I remain in trance and not come out of it?
  • No, trance is a natural state and if you were left in trance by the therapist or the therapist were to leave, you would either come out of it in your own time or drift off to sleep and awaken naturally.
  • Will I say or do something that I don't want to when I'm hypnotised?
  • No, the conscious mind is always aware of what you are experiencing while you are hypnotised and has the ability to comment, censor or criticise, so you always remain in control. The aim of hypnotherapy is to benefit you, the client, and at no time would you be required to say or do something that you were not comfortable with.
  • Will I be under the control of the hypnotherapist?
  • No, this is impossible, you will always be in control. The aim of hypnotherapy is for you and your therapist to work together towards a positive outcome. If you were to feel that you were losing control, your resistance to the therapy may increase and the benefits would be reduced. It is the role of the therapist to be sensitive to your needs, ensuring that you feel safe and secure at all times.
  • Is being hypnotised the same as being asleep?
  • No, the hypnotic state of trance is quite different to sleep. When you are asleep you are unaware of what is going on around you, while in trance you can hear what the therapist says, as well as extraneous noises, whilst remaining relaxed and receptive.
  • How long does hypnotherapy take?
  • Hypnotherapy focuses on creating positive lasting changes. Each person is an individual, making it difficult to determine how many sessions are required. However, the therapist will suggest the number of sessions as a guide, and you and your therapist will monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed.
