Forget what you may have seen on stage or screen. Therapeutic hypnosis is a very different experience.

At the start of the session, we use gentle relaxation techniques, including guided breathing and the gradual release of muscular tension, to help you become physically and mentally calm. In this deeply relaxed state, our practitioner guides you through carefully chosen, positive suggestions.

 

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention, similar to becoming absorbed in a book, a piece of music or a daydream. You remain aware and in control throughout, and you can respond or bring the experience to an end at any time. You cannot be made to do anything against your wishes.

 

Together, we may explore unhelpful beliefs you hold about yourself, other people or the world around you. The aim is to reduce the influence of these beliefs and support a renewed sense of self-worth, confidence and self-esteem.

Healthy self-esteem can influence many areas of wellbeing, including how we relate to ourselves, respond to challenges and connect with others. For this reason, strengthening self-esteem may form an important part of the therapeutic process.
