Hypnosis is a natural state of deep relaxation. Every
one enters natural hypnosis several times a day— if you have ever found
yourself day-dreaming, or noticed that time seems to have flown by, you
will have experienced the altered state of awareness known as a
hypnoidal state Your therapist simply helps you to learn how to induce
this relaxed state in order to achieve a positive change.
Hypnotherapy is talking therapy technique which uses
deep relaxation to bring about therapeutic change. This is facilitated
by allowing busy, conscious thought processes to take a rest whilst
allowing the mind to access powerful inner resources.

What is the difference between a hypnotist and a
hypnotherapist?
Hypnosis is the state of relaxation or trance that can
be achieved by various methods - hypnotherapy is simply using hypnosis
in a therapeutic manner. So a hypnotherapist is a hypnotist, but they
use hypnosis to help clients achieve their goals, often learning the
hypnosis technique for themselves in the process.
Will I lose control during the hypnosis treatment?
Absolutely not! Whilst in hypnosis you are in full
control and cannot be made to think, feel or do anything which you would
not do under normal circumstances. Remember I am a therapeutic
hypnotherapist and do not participate in stage hypnotism - the purpose
of our sessions together is to empower you, not to control or entertain.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Most people just feel really relaxed whilst in hypnosis.
Natural hypnosis is achieved by most people everyday in situations where
they drift off or day dream. Any time you notice that time is running
away really quickly or dragging is a sign that you have been in natural
hypnosis.
Will hypnosis / hypnotherapy work for me?
Hypnotherapy / hypnosis works for many people, who need
help with a variety of issues including help to stop smoking, lose
weight, reduce anxiety and stress, gain confidence or deal with fear or
phobia.
What qualifications do hypnotherapists need to
practice in the UK?
At this point in time hypnotherapists are not regulated
in the UK - there is no Hypnosis UK - wide organisation that governs
standards - that said The NCH, which is part of UKCHO is working towards
regulation in line with the National Occupational Standards - I hope
this happens soon, so that the public will be reassured and safe in the
hands of only well qualified therapists. Definitions of my hypnotherapy
qualifications can be viewed here. PNLP stands for Practitioner of Neuro
Linguistic Programming and MAR stands for Member of the Association of
Reflexologists, DHP(NC) is a diploma in hypno-psychotherapy awarded by
the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy - this qualification
leads to registration with UKCP after 4 years post graduate development.
