Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a tried, tested, safe and effective form of therapy used throughout the world for centuries.  The simplest example of hypnosis is 'daydreaming'.  Did you ever find yourself 'miles away' but being aware of your surroundings?  Clinical hypnosis is like that.  You are aware of your surroundings but your mind is focussed somewhere else.

I have successfully used hypnotherapy to relieve a great number of complaints - for example:  Stress management - in work, social stress, personal life management (overloading).

• Sports enhancement - get rid of old habits, overcome fear, improve your performance
• Smoking - my success rate has been very high in this area.
• Feeling low - commonly called 'Depression'.
• Phobias - spiders, flying, heights, claustrophobia, agoraphobia and many more.
• Weight control - anorexia, overeating.
• Bedwetting - common with young children and some young adults
• Confidence - we all lack confidence at times, but sometimes we need help to raise our 'game'.
• Self-esteem - similar to the above.
• Anger management - learn easy and innovative ways to release and control anger.
• If you have an issue and would like help, then call me.

What is Hypnotherapy?

The word 'Hypnotherapy' is a combination of hypnosis and therapy. 
Using therapy under the influence of hypnosis is extremely effective as the therapist gains access to the client's subconscious.  The subconscious mind is much more powerful than the conscious mind.  In it, we store all of our memories (the good, bad, and the ugly) but  we also have access to our self healing abilities.

There is a lot of confused information and misconceptions about hypnotherapy.

Let me tell you what hypnosis is not.

It is not about giving up control to the therapist
It is not about being put to sleep and then awakening later having being 'cured'.
It is not scary - in fact most of my clients tell me that it is a really peaceful and invigorating experience.

Another myth about hypnosis is that the client can be left in trance if something happened to the therapist during the session.  Not true - the client would soon waken on his/her own. 

Technically, in hypnosis, the therapist slows down the client's brain from the Beta state to the Alpha state, through relaxation techniques, thus allowing positive suggestions to enter the subconscious mind.  It is a very safe, relaxing and healing process.
