Hypnotherapy uses a range of techniques to bypass the conscious mind to help achieve a goal, or create a positive change in thinking to help solve a problem. Hypnotherapy can help people to overcome a surprisingly wide range of habits, emotional problems, and phobias.
It can also help students, athletes and creative artists improve their performance in exams, competitions and auditions.
Things clients have said about their Hypnotherapy sessions:-
'Thank you so much for helping me last Saturday. I am pleased to report that I still haven't bitten my nails - 10 days on ... thanks again - it really seems to have worked!'
'One hour with you has changed my life.'

Who can be hypnotised? The answer to this question is undoubtedly virtually everyone. This claim must, however, be qualified by the observation that some are more readily hypnotisable than others and that it will also depend upon one's willingness to be hypnotised at the time. This willingness will itself depend upon a number of factors, not least of which will be the strength of the person's particular need and their trust and confidence in the therapist concerned. A corollary to this question is what level of trance is required in order to achieve a beneficial outcome. Although there remains some disagreement over the answer, most researchers concur that the actual level or depth of trance obtained does not relate to the beneficial results that might be obtained. |

In practice, this means that even where a person feels that they have not been hypnotised, given time (and this is a very important factor), the desired outcome of therapy might yet materialise. This matter of time is especially important in our current society, which has, in many respects, been coerced into believing that gratification of every desire should be instantaneous. Hypnotherapy can be extraordinarily effective but it is not magic. However, if the right ingredients are present, if the time is right and if a suitable practitioner can be found with whom the client is willing to work, then all their realistic goals are achievable. |

Who may benefit from Hypnotherapy? Again, the answer to this question is virtually everyone. Given that hypnotherapy can be utilised to access a person's inner potential and that probably no one is performing to their actual potential, then this answer is literally true. However, it is not just potential which hypnotherapy is well placed to address but also one's inner resources to effect beneficial change. In this regard, it is the innate healing capacity of our own body that may be stimulated by hypnotherapy. Consequently, the list of problems which may be amenable to hypnotherapy is far too long and varied to catalogue but certainly includes: stress, anxiety, panic, phobias, unwanted habits and addictions (e.g. smoking, overeating, alcoholism), disrupted sleep patterns, lack of confidence and low self-esteem, fear of examinations and public speaking, allergies and skin disorders, migraine and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Additionally, it has proved of value within surgery, where normal anaesthetics have not been practical, in the wider sphere of pain management and in the areas of both sporting and artistic performance enhancement. As an adjunct to other counselling techniques, it can also assist in helping to resolve relationship difficulties and be useful within anger management strategies. People
are sometimes concerned that they will 'lose control' in
hypnosis. However, general consensus indicates that regardless of how
deeply people may go in hypnosis and however passive they may appear to
be, they actually remain in full control of the situation and cannot
be made to do anything against their usual ethical or moral judgement or
religious belief. Clients are fully able to talk if they wish to
(or not, as the case may be) and can safely stand up and leave the room
at any time. |
