What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a natural state of deep relaxation and concentration. It uses the power of your own mind to relieve symptoms and unwanted behaviour patterns.
Under hypnosis, you are not asleep. You can hear everything being said. Nothing happens without your consent.
Most hypnotherapy sessions do not require more than a light trance state to be effective. No drugs, medication or tablets are used.
Everyone can be hypnotised, but not everyone goes into a deep trance.
Simple problems like smoking and nail biting require only three to five sessions. More deeply rooted problems require, on average, between six and twelve sessions. A full assessment is given at the initial consultation.
Hypnotherapy is non-addictive and safe, with no unpleasant side effects.
