ABOUT HYPNOTHERAPY...

HYPNOTHERAPY is a useful short term therapy that can help to resolve problems originating from the subconcious mind.
When carried out by a trained and qualified therapist, it is a safe and beneficial therapy, often bringing about long lasting, or even permanent results.

Our conscious mind - the part that we use every day for normal thinking processes, only operates at the surface level.
The subconscious mind however, functions at a deeper level, and this is where we keep our memories, habits, fears and all the things that make us automatically respond to the situations we encounter during our lives.

Many of the emotional or mental problems we experience, may only be outward symptoms of a deeper underlying cause, triggered by what is stored in our subconscious mind. As we try to deal with the various stressful or traumatic situations we can find ourselves in, we are not usually aware of how these things are affecting us at a deeper level. If we don't take any action, over time these can build up, and eventually start to manifest as outward emotional, mental or even physical symptoms.

By using hypnosis, a skilled hypnotherapist is able to easily access and communicate with the deeper levels of the mind, in order to find the root cause of these symptoms, and then help you resolve them. Hypnosis is a hypnotic trance state, which is a pleasant relaxing experience, similar to daydreaming, where you are neither awake nor asleep, but you're still aware of your surroundings and what is happening.

Hypnosis can be used to treat a whole range of problems, such as fears and phobias, addictions, eg smoking or over eating, compulsive behaviour, emotional problems, bed wetting, sleep problems, stress related problems and anxiety, boosting self confidence and performance, and many more. It can also be used to control pain, even during operations or dental treatment.

Therapists use hypnosis within a variety of subjects, and there are numerous different branches available. Some Hypnotherapists may cover a wide range, whilst others specialise in specific areas, such as smoking cessation, weight loss, addictions or regression.
