About Hypnotherapy

"Hypnosis is an education, communication process by which the conscious mind and the unconscious mind agree..." - Dave Elman

The purpose of Hypnotherapy is to affect change at the emotional level and give you the unconscious resources you need to make the changes you've been dreaming of consciously. Hypnotherapy achieves congruency or agreement between the conscious mind and unconscious mind, clears emotional blocks to positive change, releases old and out of date feelings and best of all is very relaxing.

There are lots of different of therapies and modalities available to choose from today. "Alternative" treatments are common place and have recently enjoyed being a first choice for many people over more "traditional" approaches such as counselling and medication. But why choose hypnotherapy?

• Hypnotherapy gets results faster than more traditional approaches such as counselling, psychology and medical interventions for emotionally related goals. Hypnotherapy may achieve in 5 sessions what counselling may take 2 years to achieve.
• Other modalities of newer therapies quite often treat the symptoms but not the causes resulting in a short period of success and then falling back into familiar patterns. Hypnotherapy on the other hand treats the causes unconsciously resulting in long lasting change where not only is the problem solved, but better solutions are installed.
• Hypnotherapy is a mature therapy. The practice of using trance to instill change has been used all throughout recorded history. We've had many centuries to refine our processes and we're still learning so you can feel confident in knowing that it isn't a fly by night or fad therapy.
• Hypnosis is a natural process which doesn't require medications, chemicals or other manufactured tools to work. It is safe, enjoyable and powerful.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is all about achieving the best relaxtion possible and allowing your conscious mind to be at rest while your unconscious mind does all the work. During hypnosis you are ALWAYS in control. If you feel uncomfortable you can reposition your body and at all times you can simply open your eyes and end the session. You will NEVER be asked to do anything which does not directly benefit you. Hypnotherapy makes your feel comfortable, relaxed and makes you feel good.
