Initial Consultation

What is Hypnosis like?

Have you ever travelled home and not remembered anything about the journey? If so, you’ve been in a state of focused attention, not unlike the feeling of being hypnotised.

What Hypnosis is:

Hypnosis is simply a relaxed state of focused attention that allows you access to your powerful subconscious, encouraging the reset and replacement of unwanted thought patterns and behaviours. During hypnosis, there is also less "noise" from anxious and unhelpful thoughts.

Clients sometimes observe how “ordinary” hypnosis feels, you can often hear everything that is being said whilst in a deeply relaxed state. Some on the other hand don't consciously remember much at all! Either reaction is absolutely fine - what clients do agree on is that it's deeply relaxing. 

What to expect:

The hypnotherapy focuses on the present and the future rather than analysing painful past memories. We aim instead to resolve the way we think about the past and then determine how to go forward differently. It is structured to reduce stress and anxiety, which has the effect of allowing the mind to be open to change (when we experience anxiety and stress, we can become somewhat stuck). It also enables us to re-ignite hope which is often lost when in crisis.

It's a highly collaborative process, after all - you are the expert on you. 

We work together to make beneficial changes to the way you think, react and behave, to help you move forward in the way you prefer, using well researched and evidenced approaches and techniques to make positive, achievable and long lasting change.
