What is Hypnosis?
The word Hypnosis is derived from the Greek word Hypnos which means sleep. Despite this derivation a person under hypnosis is not actually asleep. Hypnosis is a state of consciousness during which the mind remains focussed and alert, concentrating on mental, sensory and physiological experiences. The hypnotic state is different to either wakefulness or sleep and is one in which awareness of the outside world becomes reduced and the mind comes into close contact with the inner self. Hypnosis is a very pleasant state to be in, muscles relax, there is a reduction in heart and respiration rates and one becomes very calm. Hypnosis is a naturally occurring phenomena, it is non addictive and has no unpleasant side effects. When a Therapist induces a trance state the individual is empowered to make changes in his/her life which he/she feels would be beneficial. These benefits can be physical, behavioural or emotional.

Can anyone be hypnotised?
Yes anyone who is willing can be hypnotised. The depth of trance will vary from person to person but the therapy can be just as effective in light or heavy trance. The only people who cannot be hypnotised are those who do not want to be hypnotised.

Can a hypnotist make me act against my will?
Hypnosis is sometimes erroneously looked on as a form of mind control. People in old films are often portrayed as being forced to act against their will or better judgement and volunteers in hypnosis shows exhibit strange behaviours. In fact it is impossible to override the will, our unconscious mind looks after us all the time. If a hypnotist were to try to coerce someone to do something which ran counter to their own value system the individual would either ignore the suggestion or come out of trance. Volunteers in hypnosis shows have made an inner commitment for the sake of entertainment and are not forced to do anything.

Hypnosis is not a form of mind control. Hypnotherapy can be effective because the individual is in a state of extreme relaxation, free from anxiety, in a comfortable ambience and a close rapport with the therapist, and, actively co-operating in their own treatment.

Types of therapy utilised by hypnotherapists


Suggestion Therapy
This is useful for dealing with certain addictive behaviours such as smoking or nail biting and also for one off situations such as exam nerves
This therapy requires clients to allow themselves to go into a hypnotic trance during which the therapist makes suggestions aimed at bringing about the desired result.
One or two sessions are usually required and sometimes a booster session can be useful.


Analytical therapy   (Hypno-Analysis)
Analytical therapy is used to discover root causes of psychological problems. Hypno-Analysis reveals then removes these causes thereby relieving any resulting symptoms. The use of conscious hypnosis dramatically speeds up analysis and the results of 6 to 10 sessions are comparable to conventional "1000 hour" analysis.
The object of Analytical therapy is to bring the individual to a moment of liberating enlightenment.


NLP
Neuro Linguistic Programming teaches you how to reorganise the way you think so that you can reprogramme your mind to help you achieve your own personal goals in life.

Self hypnosis
After only a few consultations self hypnosis is taught enabeling individuals to work, while away from the therapist, on the areas of their lives that they wish to improve.

Testimonials
You may be wondering why I do not publish testimonials. This is because:
1. They are considered unethical by many therapy related bodies
2. They can be fabricated
3. The Advertising Standards Authority require any testimonial to be verifiable and that would conflict with the confidentiality I offer my clients.
If you are unsure that I am the right therapist for you, please call or email me with your questions I am more than happy to answer any query you might have.
