What is Hypnotherapy?

Psychological therapy and counselling, the 'talking cure'. It is the treatment of emotional and psychological disorders, unwanted habits and undesirable feelings, using psychological techniques alone.

There are many forms of psychological therapy but Hypnotherapy is distinctive in that it attempts to address the client's subconscious mind.

Regardless of the techniques employed, the most important thing is that the client should expect to feel comfortable and at ease with their therapist. This is important in Hypnotherapy, in which the value of the treatment is greatly enhanced when there is confidence in the practitioner. For that reason it is recommended that a single session only is initially booked, leaving the client to decide if they wish to proceed with more.

Most people can be hypnotised, however, some are more readily hypnotisable than others and that it also depends upon the willingness to be hypnotised at the time.

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. Neither can the hypnotised person be made to do anything against their usual ethical or moral judgement or religious belief.

Most clients are aware of what is being said during the treatment and often feel that they have not been hypnotised. However, the actual level of trance does not relate to the beneficial results that might be obtained.

Hypnotherapy is generally considered to be a fairly short-term approach in which beneficial change, if it is to occur, should become apparent within a few sessions. 

Some of  the problems which may be amenable to hypnotherapy includes: Unwanted habits and addictions, (e.g. smoking, alcoholism, overeating.) Stress, allergies, I.B.S. Migraine, pain management, phobias and much more.
