What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses focused attention, guided relaxation and suggestion to help people make positive changes in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It works by guiding them into a relaxed state of awareness, known as hypnosis, where your subconscious mind becomes more open to suggestions. ​

​

What is the difference between Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy? 

Hypnotherapy focuses on creating change at a subconscious level, whereas psychotherapy typically brings issues to the surface and then spends time between sessions attempting to suppress them until the next meeting. Problems that originate at a subconscious level require targeted work at that same level for lasting change.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is simply a relaxed state of awareness—nothing more—where your conscious mind takes a step back, allowing your subconscious mind to become more active. It’s not sleep; in fact, your mind becomes more aware and focused, listening and processing in a different, more positive way. A good example is when you're deeply engrossed in something—you're relaxed, fully absorbed, and aware of what's happening around you, yet it doesn't distract you. That’s hypnosis!​​

Is hypnosis safe?

Yes, totally. That’s why it’s been accepted and approved by the British Medical Council since 1955. Hypnosis is merely tapping into your natural state of mind. You’re not separated from reality and you can bring yourself from a hypnotic state whenever you want to. The truth is that Hypnotherapy is the most time effective and long lasting means for making changes that you want to make in your life. 

​​

I don't think I can be hypnotised?

Anyone can be hypnotised as long as they’re willing to participate. You can’t be hypnotised against your will. The idea of 'control' usually comes from stage hypnosis, but in reality, hypnosis is all about consent. You’re always in control, and you’ll never do or say anything that goes against your values.​

​

What if I'm not easily suggestible?

It makes no difference how suggestible you are as I use the more advanced techniques such as parts therapy and regression therefore I do not rely on suggestibility.
