Who can benefit from hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy can be utilised to access a person’s inner potential - given that few of us are achieving our full potential, then most people are able to benefit from it. Hypnotherapy activates a person's inner resources to bring about beneficial change, stimulating the innate healing capacity of our own body and unconscious mind. The list of problems which it can address is too long and varied to catalogue but certainly includes:

  • Stress Management
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Panic and phobias
  • Unwanted habits and addictions (e.g. smoking, overeating, alcoholism)
  • Disrupted sleep patterns
  • Lack of confidence and low self-esteem
  • Fear of examinations and public speaking
  • Allergies and skin disorders
  • Migraine and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Many people believe or have been told that they have to learn to live with depression, anxiety or panic attacks. Through hypnotherapy a great number of problem areas and symptoms can be effectively and quickly relieved.

What are Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy?

It is fact that everyone switches into light hypnosis naturally every day, through sitting in the office or at home day dreaming. Driving to work and not really knowing how you got there missing part of your journey out in your head. Even before and after sleep is hypnosis just as you wake in the morning and again just before going to sleep at night. All hypnosis is self hypnosis and the hypnotherapist just helps you achieve a trance-like state for the session rather than leaving it to chance.

When explaining hypnosis to a new client it is sometimes easier to explain what hypnosis is not rather than what it is. i.e. not sleep, not a state of unconsciousness. In fact most clients may be surprised on their first session to experience just how ordinary hypnosis is and that it is not the magical mystical state that they expected.

Hypnotherapy is distinctive in that it attempts to address the client’s subconscious mind. The Hypnotherapist often enlists the power of the client’s own imagination and may utilise a wide range of techniques such as suggestions for beneficial change. Analytical techniques may also be employed in an attempt to uncover problems deemed to lie in a client’s past (pin point regression) or may concentrate more on a client’s current life and presenting problem.
