Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy "Hypnosis is a state of mind in which the critical faculty is bypassed, and selective thinking established." (Dave Elman 1900-1967). Hypnosis is a naturally occuring phenomenon; trance states are experienced whilst reading a book, watching
t.v., looking at a photograph,
We pass in and out of trance throughout
our lives, each and every day.When this state is induced voluntarily we
call it hypnosis. In this state of hypnosis, emotional healing and life
changes can be initiated.This process is the basis of hypnotherapy.
Neuro Linguistic Programming
NLP involves the concepts of modelling successful people and life
changes through the skilled use of verbal and non-verbal language.The
models and techniques used in NLP can initiate change very quickly and those with
phobias can be assisted in a single session. Through the process of anchoring,
beneficial states of mind are recalled at will, these include calmness,
confidence and motivation.
The Therapies
Suggestion Therapy
Used for minor problems e.g. smoking cessation, weight loss, nail biting, exam nerves, driving test etc.
Hypno-Analysis:
Used to assist those with deep rooted problems such as anxiety, phobias, obsessions,
compulsions, shyness, anger, guilt, migraines, sexual problems,
allergies, eating disorders etc.
Past experiences of physical, mental and emotional anguish and
pain affect each and every one of us. Many of the problems in our
everyday lives, known as symptoms, are the result of these past
experiences. Using hypnosis allied to a psychoanalytic framework, hypno-analysis seeks to uncover these causative
issues. The number of sessions required for successful hypno-analysis will vary, but one can be reasonably confident that a moment of liberating enlightenment will be achieved within 6 to10 weekly sessions. Called by leading American hypnotherapist, Dave Elman (1900-1967) "the crown jewel of hypnotherapy" hypno-analysis can be seen as a journey of self discovery leading to a
permanent dissolution of symptoms.
Systematic Desensitisation ( in combination with suggestion therapy).
Used to assist those with anxiety caused by certain situations e.g visiting the dentist, flying, public speaking etc.
NLP
Can be used to increase confidence, motivation, concentration, etc.
Medical Hypnotherapy and Hypno-Healing
Used as an adjunct to conventional treatment of medical
conditions, medical hypnotherapy utilises the synergistic link between
the mind and the body, known as the mind/body connection. This
important concept is not new, but has been to some extent ignored by
the established medical profession. Current thinking is moving closer
to a full recognition of the mind/body connection and its role in the
healing process. Medical hypnotherapy is a complementary not an
alternative therapy. Please consult your G.P.
Hypnotherapy for Children
The Blow-away Technique. Children from the age of seven are generally
particularly responsive to hypnosis and usually enjoy the experience.
The blowaway technique was developed especially to help resolve the
worries and anxieties of the growing child. This gentle technique,
involving just one session is aimed at removing obstacles to
development, leaving the child to grow into an emotionally healthier
and happier individual. Child to be accompanied at all times by a
parent or legal guardian. Used to help with bedwetting,
nightmares, night terrors, fears, phobias, hair pulling/chewing, eating problems, low
self esteem, lack of confidence etc.
Smoking Cessation Relaxing, empowering and free from any unpleasant side-effects, hypnosis is the right way to stop smoking.
In the largest ever study of smoking cessation -held in the U.S- hypnosis was found to be by far the most effective. The reason hypnosis is so effective, is that it addresses the psychological issues associated with smoking. Many smokers feel disempowered by these issues which are constantly compounded by the negative semantics of the majority. Using psychology, the client's attitude can be replaced for one which is more conducive to success. Powerful hypnotic suggestions can be used to provide a tangible incentive to stop smoking permanently.
You can stop smoking easily with just one session.

Even slimming can be easy with the correct approach. Gain confidence and control, feel good about yourself.
Stress Management
Since prehistory stress has been a part of our lives. In life
threatening situations our response to stress is appropriate and is
known as "the fight or flight response". The everyday stresses of
modern life are more complex and are often experienced over a longer
period of time.
Unmanaged long term stress can cause symptoms, such as, excess stomach
acid, high blood pressure, headaches and mental exhaustion.
Simple techniques employed to manage stress can reduce these symptoms or prevent them from occuring.
