How Can Hypnotherapy / Hypno-Psychotherapy Help?

Hypnotherapy / Hypno-Psychotherapy can help with the treatment and relief of a range of conditions including;

Hypnotherapy or hypnosis is wonderful for the treatment of stress and anxiety in that it is a very relaxing experience in its own right. It is not possible for you to feel anxious and relaxed at the same time, so the very process of hypnosis is directly beneficial for sufferers of anxiety.

Our weight loss hypnotherapy sessions help you focus upon the results you want, rather than using charts and scales to dictate your weight and shape. Your initial session is an opportunity to discuss your goals. We will also explore your relationship with food, in order to identify problem habits such as eating when not hungry, eating quickly, eating for comfort etc so that your hypnosis for weight loss sessions can be targeted specifically at the issues which will make a difference for YOU.

If you want to overcome the fear or phobia, hypnotherapy (or hypnosis) can help quickly, efficiently and often in just a few sessions. Hypnosis can help you to manage fears and phobia by;

  • Helping you become less sensitive of the stimulus i.e. spiders, flying, dentist Learning new and more relaxed habits
  • Helping you to become much more calm in situations where you are likely to encounter the stimulus
  • Going back to the cause of the problem and re-framing the event for a more positive outcome if necessary

What are Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy?

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is the clinical application of hypnosis to assist clients to resolve problems arising from habits, maladaptive behaviours, pain (under medical supervision) and psychosomatic medical conditions. It can also be used to assist clients in maximising potential in settings such as work and sport. Hypnotherapy alone is not suitable to deal with deep psychological issues or psychiatric illness (see psychotherapy below).

These descriptions are purely for information only; you will not have to choose a particular approach as I will select the most appropriate approaches once I understand your issues and goals through consultation.

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy

This model uses theories from both cognitive and behavioural psychology to address issues of thought and behaviour. Cognitive behavioural therapy is the treatment of choice for many issues within the NHS. I offer this, with the added power of hypnosis making this a very effective process for a wide range of issues including:

· Anxiety and panic attacks
· Fears and phobias
· Depression
· Medical issues
· Study skills
· Confidence issues
· Sleep

Analytical Hypnotherapy

Sometimes clients are unsure of why they have a particular problem or cannot achieve a goal. It can then be useful to use analytical age regression techniques to have a look back and discover what occurred in the past that has lead to the current situation.

There are a few critical factors in analytical hypnotherapy:

· Causes are often in childhood, and re-examining them with your adult mind can help resolution
· You may or may not already be aware of the cause; even if you are you may not realise all the factors involved and analysis can help you get a clearer more complete picture
· There is no need to “re-experience” bad times: it can be as though you are simply observing

Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe. There are no harmful side-effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled Hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent.

Hypno-Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is defined by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy as a process “to help clients gain insight into their difficulties or distress, establish a greater understanding of their motivation, and enable them to find more appropriate ways of coping or bring about changes in their thinking and behaviour. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and relevant events, sometimes from childhood and personal history, in a structured way.”

Hypno-psychotherapy is the clinical application of hypnosis to enhance psychotherapeutic interventions. Hypno-psychotherapists should be trained at masters level and are trained to deal with deep psychological issues and psychiatric illness.
