What is hypnosis and does it really work?

Hypnosis is a state of relaxation and concentration with a sense of heightened awareness. Most people are totally aware of what is happening, although they may lose track of time. In fact, we enter trance states all the time, for example daydreaming, driving a car on a familiar journey, playing sport, watching a film, reading a book, listening to music...

Although hypnosis is often seen as a means of entertainment, it is a powerful tool for therapeutic change and is used in circumstances as diverse as sports performance and childbirth.  Yes it really works!

What does hypnotherapy involve?

When we first see you we will discuss the issues for which you want help and agree goals for your therapy. We will typically suggest a number of techniques which, in combination, will give the desired result. For example, if you have a fear of flying we might suggest hypnosis, NLP and EMDR. Hypnosis itself doesn't 'cure' anything. It is used as a tool to help your subconscious mind accept suggestions for change.
