What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis for the treatment and relief of various psychological and somatic symptoms. It utilises a trance state, allowing you to be open to positive suggestions, which can help you to change unwanted or unhelpful behaviours. Often the hypnotic state is compared to daydreaming or to the experience that many of us have when driving. We often realise that we have passed through villages without being consciously aware of doing so. We have at all times remained in control of the vehicle and had any situation arisen whereby our conscious attention was required then we would instantly have returned to full conscious awareness in order to deal with it.

The hypnotist merely acts as a guide, tailoring the experience to the individual. For hypnosis to be successful, the client has to want it to happen, expect it to happen and allow it to happen. If any of these are not present then it is unlikely that hypnosis will take place. It is therefore the client who determines what if any responses are made. Clients remain in control at all times during hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural and effective treatment and there are no harmful side effects. No one can be hypnotised against their will or made to do or say anything they don't want to.

Whilst we are in the hypnotic state helpful and beneficial suggestions are made to the unconscious part of the mind which contains our memories

Hypnotherapy is very relaxing and can therefore be used to help those who have a high level of stress in their lives. Stress has been shown to be a factor in about 75% of all health conditions and so deep relaxation can help in a preventative way to maintain or improve well-being.

Hypnotherapy has also been used to help those who have problems with:

• IBS
• Chronic Pain
• Phobias
• Anxiety
• Weight Management
• Exam nerves
• Confidence
• Relaxation
• Smoking
• Habits
• Childbirth

It can also be used to enhance sporting performance, memory and learning.
