Hypnotherapy: A safe and effective therapy that lets us relax and encourage your subconscious mind with a professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner.
Hypnotherapy is a highly effective therapy for anxieties, compulsions, and habits, psychological difficulties that prevent us from achieving healthy lifestyle changes.
With the help of Hypnotherapy Practitioners, you retain complete control over your actions. By relaxing your subconscious mind, however, it is possible to help you revisit and redefine negative thoughts and influences, envisage and experience scenarios to retrain your response to situations that have been worrying, traumatic, or challenging for you.
How Hypnotherapy works.
Hypnotherapy is a gentle but extremely useful tool. You are guided by Hypnotherapy Practitioners, with your full knowledge and collaboration, into what’s known as the ‘trance state’.
This is the same state of deep relaxation that you enter multiple times each day as your mind wanders from a situation you are actually involved in.
You are fully conscious and in complete control of your actions throughout the process.
Yet while you are in the trance state, you will be more open to suggestions, and sufficiently relaxed to be able to revisit situations, circumstances or eventualities from your past which may be contributing to the anxieties, habits or other problems that you are struggling with.
The key is that though your conscious mind is completely aware of what’s going on, your subconscious is free to accept the suggestion of positive thoughts and ideas.
Using this, we can generally change fixed, negative ideas into strong, positive attitudes.
Is Hypnotherapy safe?
I have been a Hypnotherapy Practitioner since 2008 and in that time have used hypnotherapy with great success to help countless clients.
No client has come to any kind of harm.
No one has been made to do anything they did not want to do or would not have felt comfortable doing if not under hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy has nothing whatsoever to do with the theatrical hypnotism we have all seen on TV. That is, essentially, a stage act.
In clinical practice, you as the client remain conscious and in control, throughout.
Were I to suggest to you anything at all that you did not wish to do (which would of course never happen) you would know as surely as if I had asked you in the street, and you would decline.
You are totally safe and secure while being treated using hypnotherapy.
You can be encouraged to do only those things that your conscious mind wishes to do.
Conditions commonly treated by Hypnotherapy.
Anxiety
Anxieties can be helped greatly by using Hypnotherapy to relax the subconscious mind, enabling you to experience for yourself ways to create a state of calmness when confronted by situations in which
these arise.
Weight Loss
Hypnotherapy is extremely successful with clients
who are having difficulty in losing weight due to having formed obstructive beliefs that to do so would actually be beyond their capability.
Stopping Smoking
Similarly, by relaxing the subconscious, Hypnotherapy is very successful in helping clients who have convinced themselves that they were incapable of giving up smoking, no matter how much they might wish to.

I have been a Hypnotherapy Practitioner to help clients since I began practicing, in 2008. Having trained as a Hypnotherapy Practitioner in mid-life following a long and often stressful career in business, I use Hypnotherapy and CBT, and make additional use of Mindfulness, to help clients find effective ways to deal with a wide range of life-inhibiting challenges.
