What is hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique where a hypnotherapist uses hypnosis to help individuals achieve a state of focused attention, deep relaxation, and heightened suggestibility. In this state, the mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and behavioural changes, making it easier to address psychological and emotional issues.
How Does Hypnotherapy Work?
- Induction – The therapist guides the person into a relaxed, trance-like state (similar to daydreaming or deep meditation).
- Deepening – The therapist may use calming language to enhance focus and relaxation.
- Therapeutic Suggestions – While in this state, the therapist offers positive suggestions tailored to the individual’s goals (e.g., reducing anxiety, overcoming phobias). Post-hypnotic suggestions can also made at this stage.
- Awakening – The person is gently brought back to full awareness, often feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Myths & Misconceptions
- "Only weak-minded people can be hypnotized." → Most people can enter a hypnotic state if willing.
- "Hypnosis is mind control." → It’s a collaborative process; the therapist guides, but the client must be receptive.
- "You lose control under hypnosis." → You remain aware and cannot be forced to do anything against your will.
Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues in the world today, one of the benefits of using hypnotherapy for treating anxiety is no medication and therefore no side-effects from medication. Often people find immediate relief after hypnotherapy but even if anxiety does surface again it can be handled with the techniques taught during treatment. Like any treatment, people can react to it differently, I have a person-centred approach to treatment which many find to be a great advantage, but for some the treatment may be less effective.
When dealing with anxiety I will hold an initial consultation to understand more about your past and current anxiety symptoms and experiences. This will be by telephone and allows yourself and myself to identify triggers that precede anxiety episodes, noting any associated physical and emotional symptoms. We can then agree a plan that will best support anxiety relief.
Every treatment plan is unique but techniques including regression, post-hypnotic suggestion, relaxation techniques and anchoring are some of the methods that may be used.

Self confidence
Having self-confidence can make a huge difference to your quality of life, using hypnotherapy I can help you build your confidence by addressing and reshaping subconscious beliefs and thought patterns that undermine self-esteem.
We will work on identifying root causes of low confidence, re-framing your beliefs from negative to positive ones and help you to rehearse your new found confidence in a safe relaxed state.

Sleep
Poor sleep is a condition that has become very common and can have wide-ranging effects on physical health, mental well-being, and daily functioning. Even short-term sleep deprivation can disrupt critical bodily processes, while chronic poor sleep is linked to serious long-term health risks.
As a hypnotherapist I can help you to reduce anxiety or stress that may be disrupting your sleep, help rewire negative thought patterns about sleep, promote relaxation through guided trance states and also address subconscious habits that may be impacting your sleep.
