What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a safe, credible and scientifically-researched form of modern psychotherapy. It is used to work at a subconscious level in order to bring about effective and long-lasting change in the way you think, behave and feel. Most people find hypnotherapy to be an extremely relaxing and enjoyable experience. Hypnosis / trance is like daydreaming, We experience this natural state of mind all the time.
Will you make me do something I don’t want to do?
Hypnotherapy is perfectly safe and you will remain in control the entire time. Hypnotherapy should not be confused with stage hypnosis which is often used in the world of entertainment. You cannot be made to do anything that you do not want to do. People cannot be hypnotised if they don’t want to be.
What is the Initial Consultation?
The Initial Consultation is a chance for us to meet and I will gather information from you about your current circumstances. We will talk about what you would like help with and what you wish to achieve by coming to the sessions. To help you understand why you are feeling like you do, we’ll have a look at the brain and the workings of the mind.
How many sessions are required?
The number of sessions depends very much on you. Everyone is different, but for feelings of anxiety and stress I would recommend 8 – 12 sessions. Fears and phobias only 4 sessions would be required. Smoking cessation is a one off 2 hour session.
