Woking Hypnotherapy

Modern Clinical Hypnosis is a safe and effective way of bringing about personal change. Whether it be to stop smoking, manage weight, boost confidence or deal with a fear of phobia. Hypnosis when used properly can aid you to make the changes in your life that you wish to make.

Most people are curious about hypnosis, even if they are sceptical or dismissive. Today more than at any other time people are seeking safe and effective treatments for their problems. Real hypnosis is just that, the old myths and misunderstanding are gradually being eroded, and being replaced by a sound scientific understanding of the phenomena. We now know that hypnosis is a natural response of the mind and body that can be induced deliberately.

If you have experienced real hypnosis before then the process can be accelerated. However for many this will be their first experience and as such I will be very aware of expectations. I tailor each and every session to meet the needs of the individual, however the basic process is as follows.

I use modern hypnotic inductions (no swinging watches are used). These inductions are relaxing and efficient and allow more time to help you to attain your goals. When your mind and body are safely and comfortably in a calm state of focused attention (hypnosis), your unconscious mind becomes receptive to new ideas. If appropriate, deeper explorations can be made using Hypnoanalysis and/or regression techniques. (I am also a qualified Hypnoanalysist)

The beneficial ideas and suggestions that are used in your session will have been carefully prepared to address the specific issues that you have brought to therapy. When applied in hypnosis, they are easily absorbed and acted upon by your inner mind. At the end of the session you will be guided back into normal waking consciousness feeling refreshed and alert. Knowing that the process of change is taking place at an unconscious level.

Although it is true to say that the effect of a session is often immediate, changes usually become more apparent and stronger over time and are re-enforced by repetition. All sessions are conducted in accordance with the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnosis guidelines and codes of ethics.
