Hypnotherapy is a lovely, gentle way of working with those thoughts, feelings and habits that can sometimes feel hard to change on your own.

You’re simply in a deeply relaxed state, but still completely aware and in control. We can work on things like anxiety, overthinking, confidence, fears, habits or anything that might be holding you back.

There’s nothing strange or scary about it. You can just relax, switch off for a while and let your mind do some of the work.

Why Hypnotherapy Works

Hypnotherapy works by helping us get past all that busy thinking and work with the deeper part of your mind, where many of your habits, beliefs and automatic reactions sit.

When you’re deeply relaxed, your mind can be more open to looking at things differently and letting go of patterns that may have been around for years.

Rather than constantly telling yourself to “try harder,” we work gently with what’s going on underneath.

You’re always aware and in control. It’s simply about giving your mind the space to make changes that can feel difficult to make on your own.

Will I Be Asleep or Unconscious?

No, not at all. You’re awake, aware and in control the whole time. It’s really just a lovely, deeply relaxed state, a bit like when you’re completely absorbed in a film, book or daydream.

You’ll still hear me, know what’s going on and can talk, move or open your eyes whenever you want.

Most people are surprised by just how normal it feels. There’s nothing strange or scary about it. It’s simply a chance for your busy mind to quieten down, your body to relax and for you to switch off from everything else for a little while.

Can I be Made to do Anything I Don’t Want to Do?

Absolutely not. You remain fully in control throughout the session. Hypnotherapy is not stage hypnosis it’s a collaborative, therapeutic process. You can’t be made to say or do anything against your will.

Is Hypnotherapy like Stage Hypnosis?

NO, NO, NO! You won’t be clucking like a chicken or barking like a dog, I promise!

Stage hypnosis is entertainment. People volunteer to take part, have a bit of fun and know they’re there to put on a show.

Hypnotherapy is completely different. It’s private, calm and focused entirely on you and what you’d like to work on. You’re aware and in control throughout, and you can’t be made to do or say anything you don’t want to.

So no swinging watches, no mind control, and definitely no embarrassing performances.
Just you, relaxing comfortably while we get on with the real work.
