What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of heightened awareness in the conscious part of your mind. Have you ever felt completely relaxed or experienced intense focus? If so, then you’ve already experienced hypnosis. The key difference lies in the hypnotherapist's ability to tap into a deeper layer of your subconscious, offering suggestive ideas that encourage positive, focused, direct, or indirect change.

What makes a great hypnotic subject?

  • Someone who is keen and curious to imagine along

  • Someone willing to work together for positive change

  • Someone ready to want and push for change

  • Someone relaxed and able to let go and search within

Don’t feel disheartened if this doesn’t resonate with you, the beauty of therapy is that it is a journey for both of us. None of us are perfect, but I do believe everything can be learned. All I require from you is to work collaboratively, do, the above, and hope for positive change. 


What is Cognitive Behaviour Hypnotherapy (CBH)

In essence, there are four types of hypnotherapy with CBH being one of them. Intriguingly, hypnotherapy was the original form of psychotherapy, and current research highlights its immense benefits. In my practice, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is uniquely blended with hypnosis to offer faster and more impactful results. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a type of talking therapy that focuses on the ‘here and now’, it aims to change the way we think (cognition) and act (behaviour) to help cope with and manage problems we may face in our lives. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour are closely linked and influence each other. CBT aims to help us learn to recognise these unhelpful patterns, and break down and approach problems in a different way to improve our overall feelings. 

Typically, I recommend a minimum of 6-8 sessions, though additional sessions are also an option.". I would encourage this space to be an investment and journey into yourself more than anything.
