Hypnotherapy (the application of clinical hypnosis within therapy) can treat a variety of medical and psychological problems. Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness characterised by a deep physical relaxation resembling the sleep state which you can naturally enter so that useful suggestions may be given directly to your subconscious mind.

In hypnosis, there is heightened concentration for the specific purpose of realising potential, accessing and developing inner resources, changing self-limiting beliefs, correcting unhelpful behaviours and patterns, and gaining insight and wisdom. Clinical hypnosis can furthermore be very effective in pain management and anxiety disorders as it has been shown to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to promote a relaxation response.

Contemporary clinical hypnosis is grounded in psychological theory and is commonly used by many medical and mental health professionals as a clinical intervention. Hypnotherapy often succeeds where other more conventional methods of treatment have not produced results.

My use of clinical hypnosis/hypnotherapy is always provided on a foundation of counselling, and only where clinically indicated for a psychological or medical issue.

Offered as a two-session approach, I employ an individually-tailored process to support you to deal with the habit element, the emotional/mental dependency, and to find practical and realistic resources that will work for you, your lifestyle and daily routine.
