Hypnotherapy

Understanding Hypnotherapy

Over the course of a person’s life, their subconscious mind develops patterns, beliefs, and habits, many of which are formed as early as childhood. Some of these subconscious programmes are positive and supportive, while others may be limiting or unhelpful, influencing the way we think, feel, and behave without us even realising it.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful, natural way to access the subconscious mind and make positive changes at a deep level. It helps to reprogramme any beliefs, fears, or behaviours that may be holding you back, whether that’s anxiety, low confidence, phobias, negative habits, or emotional blocks.

What is Hypnotherapy Like?

Hypnotherapy is a completely safe, gentle, and deeply relaxing process. Many people describe hypnosis as similar to the feeling of being engrossed in a book or a daydream, fully present but also deeply absorbed.

During a hypnotherapy session:
You remain in control – Hypnosis is not mind control; you are always aware of what is happening and can bring yourself out of the relaxed state at any time.
It feels like deep relaxation – You may experience a sensation of calmness and focus, similar to meditation.
Your subconscious becomes more receptive – In this relaxed state, your mind is more open to positive suggestions that align with your goals.
Your conscious and subconscious work together – This allows for powerful shifts in thinking and behaviour, helping you break free from negative patterns and adopt healthier, more empowering beliefs.

Many clients feel refreshed and uplifted after a session, often noticing positive changes in their mindset and emotional wellbeing even after just one session.

Is Hypnotherapy Safe?

Yes! Hypnotherapy is a completely safe and natural process. It is a well-established therapeutic method used worldwide to help people overcome a wide range of challenges.

  • You will not be under anyone’s control – Hypnosis is not like stage hypnosis seen on TV. You are always in control and cannot be made to do or say anything against your will.
  • You will not be unconscious – You will be in a relaxed yet focused state where you can still hear everything around you.
  • It is a recognised therapy – Hypnotherapy is used by healthcare professionals, psychologists, and therapists globally to support mental and emotional wellbeing.
