Clinical Hypnotherapy

RAPID-MIND Hypnotherapy^© & WILL-STOP Hypnotherapy^©

Treatments using Clinical Hypnotherapy will usually be around 2 hours depending on the nature and seriousness of your condition/s. It is a very powerful and effective therapy which offers you the chance to gain real and relatively rapid relief, by boosting your inner resourses, (will-power?) to remove your problems.

An added benefit of Clinical Hypnotherapy is that some very good relaxation techniques get learned or taken 'on-board' and can be used later in every-day life.

When using Clinical Hypnosis we offer the unconscious mind a series of beneficial ‘suggestions’ and this is usually done while imagining, or visualising, very satisfying and pleasant ideas and thoughts. The purpose of this is to 'change' the way someone looks at events or situations in such a way as to make them less fearful. It will often involve abstract ideas and the destruction or draining away the unwanted behaviours and emotions.

These suggestions, when absorbed by the unconscious mind, help you to find it easier to do something you would like to do, or easier to stop doing something you no longer wish to do. When your mind is deeply relaxed, it is much more likely to accept the idea of the changes than at other times.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is a concept that is quite ‘modern’ in the way it works. It is forward focused, which means that although it takes into account your past history and deals with any associated traumas, it is primarily focused on creating a positive present and future. The focus is on solutions to problems rather than the problems themselves. When you create well-being for yourself in the present, the past has much less of a hold on your present day life. You gain much greater control over your life generally. The emphasis here is that positive perceptions are of paramount importance in creating well-being. This type of solution focused therapy provides real and practical tools to truly begin to focus in this way.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is very empowering because it delivers practical understanding to you, the client. Alongside traditional Clinical Hypnosis, I also use many techniques from the NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) field of psychology. NLP is principally a set of techniques and observations about how people process information about life and themselves. It is a highly effective model which itself borrows understandings from the best of all fields of psychology (including hypnotherapy which is central to NLP) and blends them into practical exercises and practices which can be used to change the way a persons brain/mind processes information.

In other words, as the name suggests, it is used to re-programme the mind making sure that the "pictures" or "states" that your mind automatically generates are empowering.

These techniques are modern, quick, non-invasive, and extremely effective when applied within the therapeutic context. We also draw from other modern therapeutic understanding, making good use of the principles underlying Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, (CBT) and Neuro Associative Conditioning, (NAC), which permeate everything we do in one way or another...namely that we keep it positive!

This therapy is about re-focusing. It's about reducing distress. It's about helping you to re-connect with your own power and resources. It's about clearing the emotional burdens of the past. It's about helping you to be able to say "Yes!" to life, and "No" to negativity. It's about helping you to be able to say "I can...!" in life. It's about helping you to achieve the things that you want to achieve. When you are doing what you want to do then you feel good about life.

Treatments using Clinical Hypnotherapy will usually be 1 x 2hour session depending on the nature and seriousness of your condition/s. It is a very powerful and effective therapy which offers real and relatively rapid relief.

An added benefit of Clinical Hypnotherapy is that some very good relaxation techniques get learned or taken 'on-board' and can be used later in every-day life.
