Hypnosis or Guided Relaxation

Hypnosis is a natural state of trance similar to that achieved in meditation and one that can be induced by a single idea or focus. It is like day dreaming and is very relaxing.

The therapist either in person or on MP3/CD guides you into a state of deep relaxation and then using positive suggestion and imagery, helps you to clear out stress and negativity and change the way you think about yourself and the world you live in.

Modern hypnotherapy utilises the proven techniques of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). These 'positive psychology' models explain to us how change happens rather than how problems develop. They also demonstrate that the way we think and act influences the way we feel and using this information we can replace old unhelpful ways of thinking with new beneficial templates. Clients are encouraged to set themselves positive goals that will set them on the road to the changes they desire.

These approaches when combined with the state of deep relaxation enable people to make significant positive changes in a relatively short period of time. Resolving unwelcome habits and thought patterns at a subconscious level means that hypnosis literally helps the parts that others cannot reach!
