What is hypnosis or hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a state of deep relaxation in which a trained hypnotherapist applies suggestions and metaphors.

Professional hypnotherapy can produce great results quicker than many other therapies.

Hypnosis is a very natural state of mind and we spontaneously go into a hypnotic trance many times a day, for example daydreaming.

Clinical hypnotherapy can be a very relaxing experience for you and is a very effective treatment for many problems.

How is Strategic Psychotherapy different?

The difference between traditional talk therapies and strategic therapies is that strategic therapy pays close attention to and seeks to change behaviours.

It asks, “how do you do that”, not “why do you do that”.

What are some common misconceptions about hypnotherapy?

People often think that they are asleep when they are getting hypnotised or they may lose control or be controlled by the hypnotherapist.

These misconceptions come from seeing hypnosis on the television but is is not a true representation.

Hypnosis is in fact a state of hyper-awareness and you are always fully away of what is being said to you and what is going on around you, so you are always in complete control.

How many sessions are recommended?

Generally, it is recommended to have between 6 – 8 sessions in total but it can vary due to the individual.

It is recommended to have the full course of sessions as advised by me to ensure the best results.

Will I do something against my will or lose control during my hypnotherapy session?
