What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a science-backed therapeutic approach that uses focused relaxation and guided suggestions to access your subconscious mind. This state of deep focus allows you to address habits, beliefs, and emotions that may be holding you back-think of it as a gentle software update for your brain.
How does hypnotherapy work in the brain?
During hypnosis, your brain shifts into a relaxed state, moving from busy beta waves to calmer alpha or theta waves. This makes your mind more receptive to positive change. Research using brain imaging has shown that hypnotherapy can actually alter neural pathways, helping you form new, healthier patterns of thinking and behaviour.
What can hypnotherapy help with?
Hypnotherapy has a wide range of applications, including:
-
Reducing stress and anxiety
-
Overcoming fears and phobias
-
Improving sleep quality
-
Managing chronic pain
-
Breaking unwanted habits (like smoking or nail biting)
-
Boosting confidence and motivation
-
Enhancing focus and performance
-
Supporting you in creating the life you desire by helping you harness the law of attraction-aligning your subconscious beliefs with your conscious intentions, so you can more easily attract positive opportunities, experiences, and outcomes into your life.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes, hypnotherapy is considered safe when conducted by a qualified professional. You remain aware and in control throughout the session. The process is completely natural-no swinging pocket watches required.
What does a session feel like?
Most people describe hypnosis as a state of deep relaxation, similar to being absorbed in a good book or a favourite piece of music. You’ll be aware of your surroundings, yet deeply focused and comfortable. Many people leave a session feeling refreshed and positive.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies from person to person. Some notice significant improvements after just one session, while others benefit from a series of sessions for more lasting change. Your goals and individual progress will help determine the best approach.
Can everyone be hypnotised?
Most people can experience some level of hypnosis, especially if they are open and willing. Hypnosis is a collaborative process, and your comfort is always the top priority.
Will I lose control or reveal secrets?
No, you remain in control at all times. Hypnotherapy is not mind control; you won’t say or do anything you don’t want to. Your privacy and comfort are always respected.
Is there scientific evidence for hypnotherapy?
Absolutely. Numerous studies and brain scans have shown that hypnotherapy can create measurable changes in brain activity. It is recognised by leading health organisations as a valid therapeutic tool for a variety of issues.
How should I prepare for my session?
No special preparation is needed. Simply wear comfortable clothing and arrive with an open mind. If you have specific goals or questions, feel free to share them at the start of your session.
