Clinical Hypnotherapy

Clinical Hypnosis is very different to Stage Hypnosis.  They both work on the same principles however, during Clinical Hypnosis you are guided using a series of techniques that will relax you to a state where your mind goes beyond all the outwardly distraction and rests in the comfort of the subconscious where in fact your awareness will be 30% greater and you are fully alert to what is happening around you.

 

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and the Hypnotherapist is simply the facilitator who uses techniques to help clients reach the state of relaxation needed to promote positive change in behaviour.

​

Hypnotherapy works by communicating directly with the subconscious part of the mind, this is the part that does things automatically, like breathing for example.

The subconscious mind does not analyse or criticise anything, it will accept literally 'almost' anything that is said to it and adopt that suggestion as an automatic programme.

​

For example - when you learn to ride a bike its really difficult, right?  We fall off, can't control the handle bars, we look in one direction but the bike keeps moving in another and so on.  Well, it's our conscious mind that learns and once you have learnt the task or behaviour, the subconscious mind takes over and your behaviour is then automatic - almost like you are on auto pilot.  So hypnosis is a really useful and quick therapy that reprograms the subconscious creating positive change and behaviour.
