What is Hypnosis?
​Hypnosis is  a natural process which allows an individual to  focus more easily upon the words and suggestions of the therapist and less upon other thoughts and distractions. This makes it very useful where the client has a problem or objective which can be helped by altering the way that they think and how they process and react to situations.   Modern hypnosis has been used for therapeutic purposes since the late 19th century  and is targeted at relieving symptoms or addressing behaviours, fears, phobias and habits. Hypnotherapy can help you make some fabulous and beneficial changes in your life  and there is a significant body of evidence supporting the efficacy of the use of hypnosis in therapy to address a number of different symptoms and conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions

What does hypnosis feel like ?

Everybody experiences hypnosis in their own way. However, many clients describe the process as enjoyable and  deeply relaxing.  People often report that upon coming out of the process, they feel calm and very peaceful, as if they have had a really good nights sleep.

Will I know whats going on ?

Yes, you will be aware of everything that is going on during the session. Many clients recall the sessions in great detail. Some techniques require two-way communications between the client and the therapist which need the client to be fully aware in order to play their part.

Will I be unconscious ?

No, you will be conscious during the hypnosis sessions. In fact hypnotic suggestions would be of no use if a client was asleep or unconscious when they were given.

​What if I can't be hypnotised ?

Although people respond to hypnosis in different ways, in our experience everybody who wants to enter hypnosis is able to do so to some extent or other.  Many of the techniques we use do not require formal hypnosis in order to be effective.

Will I lose control ?

You will not lose any form of control during the process. Despite popular myth and the impression given during stage hypnosis shows, you cannot be forced to do anything you don't want to do whilst in hypnosis.​
​

Is hypnosis guaranteed to work ?

Whilst no treatment can be guaranteed to be successful, there is evidence to support the use of hypnosis across a variety of  presenting issues. We guarantee that we will do our best to help you and in return our approach requires a level of commitment and  motivation from our clients.
