Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based therapy, with over 70,000 research references worldwide.

 

Hypnosis is a different state of consciousness which you can naturally enter so that, for therapeutic purposes, beneficial corrections may be given directly to your unconscious mind. In this way, hypnosis is an effective way of making contact with our inner (unconscious) self, which is both a reservoir of unrecognised potential and knowledge as well as being the unwitting source of many of our problems.

​

Clinical hypnotherapy means using advanced methods of hypnosis and other techniques to treat a variety of medical and psychological problems and upwards of 85 per cent of people will readily respond to clinical hypnotherapy.

​

First, you'll usually have a talk with your therapist to discuss what you hope to achieve and agree what methods your therapist will use.

​

After this, the hypnotherapist may:

​

• lead you into a deeply relaxed state – most people feel refreshed and relaxed

• use your agreed methods to help you towards your goals – for example, suggesting that you do not want to carry out a certain habit

• gradually bring you out of the trance-like state. Most people feel refreshed and relaxed

​

You're fully in control when under hypnosis and do not have to take on the therapist's suggestions if you do not want to.
