What is it?
Hypnotherapy means the use of hypnosis for the treatment and relief of a variety of somatic and psychological symptoms.
Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe and there are no harmful side effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent.
How does it work?
The actual experience of being hypnotised is very difficult to describe, a state of neither asleep nor awake. All hypnotic states are characterised by a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation, an altered state of consciousness into which individuals allow themselves to enter so that the desired beneficial suggestions may be given to the unconscious mind. Thus hypnosis is a natural, effective way of making contact with the inner (unconscious) self, which can be a source of many of our problems.
Conversely it is also a vast reservoir of unrecognised potential strength and knowledge i.e. the forgotten assets, which can be used to bring about safe, therapeutic change.
Nobody can be hypnotised against their will and, even when hypnotised, people can still reject any suggestions given to them if they do not believe them to be appropriate.
It is estimated that approximately 85% of people of all age groups will respond successfully to clinical hypnotherapy. It is often successful when other, more conventional methods of treatment have failed.
