Hypnotherapy is a relaxing process which involves helping you access your subconscious mind and changing unhelpful or limiting beliefs. It is a safe and gentle technique and nothing like the stage hypnosis that you may have seen on TV!

Did you know that everyone goes into a form of hypnosis several times a day? What many people don't realise is that hypnosis is a completely natural state and is essentially what happens when we "zone out" or daydream. Have you ever driven your car along a familiar route and found yourself passing through villages and towns without even remembering them? This is called "highway hypnosis" and is what happens when our subconscious mind takes over from our conscious mind. When this happens we still drive safely, stop at traffic lights and brake when necessary, but we do so automatically because we are essentially on "auto-pilot".

The subconscious never sleeps. It is responsible for looking after us 24/7 and controls our breathing, our fight or flight response and the millions of instinctive decisions that we make every day. Despite being concerned with protecting and guiding us, it has a tendency to get a bit confused, and this is where hypnotherapy can help*. Destructive habits, phobias, and anxiety conditions are all rooted in confused subconscious reasoning and it is very difficult to change these behaviours with conscious thought alone.

Most people find the therapy enjoyable and a typical session will last around an hour. Contrary to popular belief you can never be made to do anything you don't want to do and you are completely in control throughout the whole process. Most issues can be resolved in as few as 3-5 sessions*.  Hypnotherapy is all about helping you achieve positive, lasting change so that you can enjoy life to the full.
