Hypnotherapy and hypnosis has long been regarded as a viable method of changing unwanted habits and behaviours. Once we discover our untapped skills and make positive use of them, the possibilities are virtually endless.
Many people have experienced miraculous changes in their life, as a result of having used hypnotherapy and hypnosis in order to change unwanted or limiting behaviours. Hypnotic suggestion may be directed toward behaviour, emotions, sensations, physiologic processes, cognition, imagery, and relationships.
Hypnotherapy is one of the most validated therapies available today. Recognised by the British Medical Association,(BMA), Hypnotherapy is recognized as an orthodox treatment and not merely a complimentary practice. Hypnotherapy has proven to be a safe and effective treatment that can help a wide range of problems in just a few hours of therapy.
Misconceptions about hypnotherapy
There are many misconceptions about hypnosis that have been impressed on us by books, movies, cartoons and television programs. Hypnosis, therefore, has been associated in the minds of people with control and the super natural. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Hypnotherapy is a natural state of consciousness that we have all been in before. Although the word sleep is used to describe the trance, the patient is far from being asleep. A person in hypnosis is aware of his surroundings in a detached sort of way and is more receptive to acceptable suggestions. The mind is concentrated on the suggestions and pays very little attention to anything else (much like being deeply involved in a movie or reading a book.

Suggestion Therapy and Hypnoanalysis
The state of hypnosis is brought about by inducing a natural state of relaxation, where you are in a heightened state of awareness and where your mind is receptive to making positive change. Many unwanted behaviours such as nail biting, smoking, hair pulling, exam nerves etc have been learned and by repitition these actions become habits, and you find that you cannot stop them from happening even if you want to.
Hypnotherapy suggestion therapy works at the level where these unwanted behaviours are buried...the subconscious mind.
Additional to habits, sometimes when something new happens to us, we remember it and learn a particular behaviour in response to that circumstance. Memories stored in our brains hold the original physical and emotional reactions that occurred when the given memory was first formed.
Each time similar events occur again, the physical and emotional reactions attached to the memory are repeated. These reactions may be inappropriate or unhealthy. When this is the case, I guide you to remember the event that led to the first reaction, separate the memory from the learned behaviour, and reconstruct the event with new, healthier associations.
During the session, your body and mind is relaxed while your thoughts become more focused and attentive. Like other relaxation techniques, hypnotherapy decreases blood pressure and heart rate, and alters certain types of brain wave activity. In this relaxed state, you will feel very at ease physically yet fully aware mentally. In this state of deep concentration your subconscious mind will be highly responsive to suggestion. If you are trying to quit smoking, for example, after suggestion therapy you will find the words “no thank you, I don’t smoke,” rolling off your tongue with the greatest of ease.
As these suggestions are made to a person wanting these improvements, their subconscious minds will readily accept them, causing the suggestions to take root in the subconscious, thus implementing the required changes. It is NOT possible for negative suggestions to take root in this way as they are not desired by the recipient and will therefore be rejected immediately.
I use suggestion therapy to help people with issues like performance improvement, weight loss, positive thinking, nail biting, smoking cessation or exam nerves, things we classify as quite minor conditions which are appropriate and receptive to treatment by suggestion alone.
Analytical hypnotherapy or hypnoanalysis, is a form of treatment used to treat the cause of a problem, where the emotion attached to your presenting symptom was born and is an extrememly effective and powerful tool to help treat any condition with a deep rooted anxiety such as social phobia, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and many other phobias and symptoms.
This form of therapy can completely resolve the underlying cause of a problem, leaving you free from your symptoms.
Therapy conducted in the natural state of hypnosis is very powerful and rapid transformation can be seen in just a few sessions.
As each persons symptoms are individual then so is the therapy I provide. Hypnotherapy, along with cognitive behavioural therapy and the use of counselling skills I am perfectly placed to be able to help, very effectively, with an array of emotional issues and disorders.
