Our minds are on two levels – the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. Through hypnosis I can give you the suggestions that you want to enable change. This is why it is so quick and easy to change lifelong habits with hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy is suitable for almost anyone who has a strong desire to make a change in their life. During your first session I will carry out personality profiling to make sure hypnotherapy is right for you. Certain people are hypno-resistant and cannot be hypnotised but this is rare. Recursive Brainworking therapy (BWRT) techniques are an alternative treatment for hypno-resistant clients.

Smoking takes an average of two sessions whilst phobia hypnosis usually takes three sessions. For other treatments, I provide an estimate of how many sessions you will need after the first session. An average client will have 5-8 sessions depending on the complexity of the issue. You will feel you’re making progress with every session.

On booking your first appointment you’ll need to complete some simple forms that I will use to help me gain an in-depth understanding of your lifestyle and the challenges you face.

Before we undertake any hypnosis work it’s important that we both understand your goals and hoped-for outcomes, and what is preventing you from achieving them yourself. This allows us both to identify the barriers to change and take steps to remove them, allowing you to make the transformation you desire.

The second part of the first session is dedicated to hypnosis. You have a choice of receiving therapy on a reclining chair or a large, memory foam Buddha Bag, which moulds to the contours of your body. Both offer the perfect environment for you to be fully supported in luxurious comfort whilst you slip into a relaxed, light hypnotic trance. Many clients find the Buddha Bag so relaxing they want to take it home with them!

Ensuring your physical comfort means the therapy is delivered in a deeply relaxed state, directly to your unconscious mind. This is the part of the mind that controls unwanted behaviours, thoughts, bad habits and negative patterns. By ‘re-engineering’ your subconscious responses to external stimuli, I can help you make significant, permanent change.

Hypnotherapy takes you to the unconscious part of your brain – the part you use when you are in ‘auto-pilot’ mode. This is a state many of us reach on a daily basis whilst driving, not realising how we arrived at our destination. During treatment, some people feel relaxed and heavy, and others feel lightness

Yes, you will remember what happened during the session. You will need to, as you may have homework to do afterwards!

The after-effects are always positive. Clients find they feel more relaxed and are usually able to sleep better after hypnosis.

Clients generally notice an inexplicable change in their behaviours after hypnosis, at the very deepest level. Hypnosis seeks to resolve issues rather than ‘manage’ them like so many other therapies. Success to me is when I say goodbye to a client, knowing that I’ve helped them kick a habit or resolve a long-standing problem in their life.

It’s very rare for me to see clients again for the same condition. It’s much more common for clients to return to work with me on a completely separate issue.
