HYPNOTHERAPY

What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the application of hypnotic techniques in such a way as to bring about therapeutic changes. An external influence - the Therapist - assists in activating the inner resources of a person - the Client - in order to achieve realistic goals.

When you are relaxed in this way it is possible to make contact with your subconscious mind, in order to effect change in your life. The subconscious is an untapped resource for creativity. The subconscious mind is the seat of all your emotions and therefore directs nearly all your behaviour. Most importantly the subconscious is responsible for maintaining the body in good health and for all the autonomic processes, e.g. breathing, blood circulation, tissue repair and controlling blood sugar level.
Hypnosis is a doorway to this inner world, the enchanted realms of your imagination and emotions. Using hypnosis, whereby the subconscious mind can be contacted, 'inner power' can be harnessed to promote desired changes and physical well-being.

Hypnotherapy techniques and allied methods are used to help clients who present with various conditions. Each client will require individual treatment with variations and emphasis on different points. To this end we have developed the strongly client centred approach to service provision that we believe sets this Practice apart from many.

A Hypnotherapy Session
The initial consultation is free of charge and without commitment. It enables the assessment of your problem so that the best possible mix of techniques and treatments can be offered. All therapy is conducted with the support of a written agreement. this clearly sets out the conditions and rules within which therapy will be conducted. It will also contain an outline of the approximate number of therapy sessions that will be required and the cost per session. Because of the philosophy of this Practice a variety of different techniques are offered and will be combined to produce the best possible outcome.

Hypnosis, as used by this Practice, is based on the concept of either relaxing down the input of the senses or distracting you away from that input and holding the focus of your attention. This is done so that it can directed towards the thoughts or memories that we wish to work with. Because of this you will remain aware at all times and will remain in control of yourself. So if you come across something you do not wish to deal with then you will be able to take control and back away.
We always seek to use non-confrontational methods and do not force anyone to confront painful or unpleasant memories. Neither do we attempt to remove or recover memories. Our sole aim is to enable you to be able to deal with your memories in a more appropriate manner - to enable you to move on and grow in the way that you wish to.
