What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of natural deep relaxation and concentration, helping you to use the power of your subconscious mind and your creative imagination to find new ways of healing, dealing with problems and altering unwanted patterns of thinking and behaviour
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the facilitation of a trance-like state of focus (hypnosis) by a trained hypnotherapist for therapeutic purposes. We utilise classical approaches such as Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, Regression, Parts Therapy (also called Internal Family Systems Therapy or Resource Therapy), Schema Therapy, Psychosynthesis, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Inner Child and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) to name a few, and enhance the relevant techniques with hypnosis to maximise its efficacy. The same approach is used with Relationship Counselling and Life Coaching.
Positive results can be achieved in a few sessions, with additional sessions required for more complex issues. As each client is unique, we utilise a tailored approach with each client.
Hypnosis has been recognised by the medical profession as a useful and powerful complementary therapy from as early as 1955, when the British Medical Association issued a report stating that hypnosis is a valuable medical tool; in 1958 the American Medical Association recognised hypnosis as a valuable scientific modality and in 1962 the American Psychiatric Association recognised that hypnosis is a viable modality to treat some psychological problems.
