Hypnotherapy uses a state of focused relaxation to help you work with thoughts, feelings, or patterns that feel difficult to shift through talking alone.
This state is not sleep, and it isn’t a loss of control. You remain aware of where you are and what’s happening, and you can speak or stop at any time.
Many people experience it as calming and settling, particularly if their mind is usually busy or on high alert.
What a hypnotherapy session is like.
We begin by talking through what you’d like help with and what you’re hoping for. Hypnotherapy is only used if it feels right for you, and nothing happens without your agreement.
If hypnotherapy is used, you’ll be guided into a relaxed state at a pace that suits you. Some people notice changes in thoughts or feelings during the session; others notice shifts gradually over time.
There’s no “right” way to respond, and it doesn’t require special skills or effort.
Choice and flexibility.
Hypnotherapy isn’t suitable for everyone, and it isn’t presented as a quick fix. Talking therapy can always be used instead, or alongside it. We decide together what feels most supportive for you.
Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years, and in therapeutic settings for many years as a way of working with the mind and nervous system.
Modern hypnotherapy is a calm, collaborative approach, very different from the stage hypnosis people sometimes imagine.

HYPNOTHERAPY FOR ADULTS:
Do you feel overwhelmed by the multitude of pressures and the demands of life?
Or perhaps you feel that anxiety, low mood, stress or a lack of confidence are holding you back from how you would really like your life to be. It is well known that hypnotherapy can be used for anxiety, stress, low mood, weight loss and smoking cessation but it can also be suitable for interview or driving test nerves, bringing love into your life and overcoming conflict with difficult people.
The 2,000-year-old art of hypnotherapy will pleasantly relax you, restoring calm to your life while effectively changing your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. This will allow you to overcome whatever is troubling you.
The brief nature of this therapy makes it ideal for those who want change quickly but in a relaxing, gentle way.
HYPNOTHERAPY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE:
Does it feel like there is too much stress and pressure in your life? Would you like to feel calmer, happier and more able to simply enjoy your life?
Hypnotherapy is brief and gentle; it will put you fully in control of what you would like to change. Through deep relaxation, your unwanted thoughts and feelings will be gently altered for you to live a calmer, happier life.
Hypnotherapy is particularly beneficial for young people who want to overcome exam stress, combat a fear of public speaking, need to rebuild confidence after being bullied or want to banish insomnia, anxiety or stress.
Typically, you will need no more than six sessions and often only four, before your “issue” is resolved.
