What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotism as practised by a licensed therapist bears no relation to stage

hypnotism where subjects appear to have no control over their actions. On the contrary, a person having hypnotherapy remains entirely in charge of his or her thoughts and behaviour.

Hypnotherapy is a well established method of helping people to make changes

in their lives through the medium of mental imagery. It is distinctly different

from psychotherapy, an approach based in the discipline of psychology, which

is used to treat mental ill health.
 
The practice of hypnotherapy is regulated by a formal code of professional

ethics and stringent criteria concerning confidentiality and care standards.

What Happens in a Hypnotherapy Session?

The therapist undertakes an assistive and supportive role. Using various

techniques the therapist guides the person into a state of deep relaxation

where they remain completely aware and responsive to external stimuli.

The sensation of hypnotic state is often compared to a daydream or that

familiar early morning feeling of drowsiness.

In a relaxed, yet receptive attitude, people work with their therapist to create

new positive self images, alter perceptions of past events and change unhelpful

behaviour or responses to issues in their lives.

How might it help you?

Hypnotherapy can be an aid to overcoming worries or problems such as:
* Smoking and other harmful habits including gambling
* Obstructive fears and phobias concerning e.g. flying, driving or spiders
* Confidence building e.g. taking exams, public speaking or interviews
* Blushing frequently or nail biting
* Anxiety, Stress and Worrying too much, and too often
* Overeating and general problems with controlling weight

It can also assist with
* Pain management

Growing scientific evidence suggests that good emotional health and mental wellbeing can be an aid to a healthy immune system. Learning to relax effectively may alleviate conditions such as migraine or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
