Hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-based process that uses focused relaxation and positive suggestion to help you access your unconscious / subconscious mind where habits, emotions and beliefs are stored. By helping you to gain access to your inner resources, we can create real and lasting change.

Hypnosis is a process of cooperation and communication between you and the therapist (me). If you can follow simple instructions, are keen to participate and really want to change, you can experience hypnosis. The depth of trance varies from person to person but positive change can happen at any level. 

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention where you remain aware and in control the entire time. Most people describe it as deeply relaxing, like being absorbed in a daydream, mediation or even a good book. This is true of the other therapies I provide too. (And by the way, those funny “stage hypnosis” moments you might’ve seen where people cluck like chickens are purely for entertainment with willing volunteers; clinical hypnosis is very different.)

Hypnotherapy is a safe, non-invasive and well-researched therapeutic approach when conducted by a qualified professional. You can't get “stuck” in hypnosis, and you can return to full alertness anytime you wish.

Each session begins with a conversation to clarify your area of focus and desired outcome. You’ll then be guided into a relaxed, comfortable state, where we work with your deeper mind using gentle suggestions, imagery and therapeutic techniques. You’ll feel calm, safe and in control at all times.

If I feel it will help you achieve better outcomes, I will suggest also using another or additional therapy (such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, the Emotional Freedom Technique or Rapid Anxiety Reduction Method) as part of our session. 

Everyone’s journey is unique. Some clients experience the shift they want after their first session while others prefer a few more to build lasting change. You’ll always know what to expect and be able to make informed decisions. I offer competitive, transparent pricing and will be happy to discuss this with you during your initial enquiry.
