Conquer fears and phobias

Do you have an irrational fear that leaves you feeling like you no longer have control? 
Hypnotherapy can safely alleviate fears - helping the individual to process and release them safely. It allows the mind to be reprogrammed i.e. to learn to respond how one would wish to respond in a healthy liberated manner. 
With freedom and choice - one feels lighter and free.

“When I work with you I keep you in mind…Psychotherapy is the individual responding to the individual." “When working with you I look for your unique attunement to life’s energy and together we make it a part of your everyday life.”“There are so many things in human living that we should regard not as traumatic learning but as incomplete learning, unfinished learning.”

- Milton H.Erickson, M.D.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is the use of a meditative trace state in psychologically healthy individuals for therapeutic purposes.  
Clinical Hypnotherapy can be particularly helpful in the context of goal orientated, solution focussed work such as - Weight control, habits, nail biting, enuresis (childhood bet-wetting), stress, anxiety, IBS, sports performance improvement, exam nerves, confidence, self esteem, sleep disturbance/insomnia, phobias, panic, headaches, pain management, concentration (for study), relaxation, fear, memory, stammering, motivation, self-actualisation, growth, fulfilment, regression.

The hypnotic state is a natural state that all humans drift in and out of several times a day.

Ultimately trance is a state in which our capacity to learn and unlearn is heightened.
“Trust your unconscious; it knows more than you do.” —Milton H. Erickson

​"It was a great relief to realize that hypnosis is not something you do to people. It is something that you attune to in people and you just draw it out and bring their attention to it." - Stephen Gilligan

"You use hypnosis not as a cure but as a means of establishing a favorable climate in which to learn." 
​- Milton Erickson

When you calm the inner chatter of the mind you can direct it's attention with intention, focus and determination.

The model of Clinical Hypnotherapy I use is Integrative, utilising Ericksonian, Cognitive Behavioural, Solution Focussed methods to name a few. Each session is different as it is tailored to the individual.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a very useful and a clinically proven way to begin to train your body to release stress and tension. I recommend that individuals read all the articles about Hypnotherapy (knowledge is power) and practice the following exercise daily before coming to their first appointment. Practising cultivates the relaxation response and helps you get more out of your Hypnotherapy sessions. It reinforces your ability to relax and trains you to relax easily and simply.

All sessions are preceded by in depth Psychotherapeutic treatment. Clinical Hypnotherapy is not offered as a stand alone therapeutic intervention. 
The use of Clinical Hypnotherapy requires in-depth Psychotherapeutic treatment before sessions can proceed. While Clinical Hypnotherapy is a very safe effective form of therapy I may decline to work with certain individuals taking certain medications or I may require a letter from your GP or Consultant to confirm you may have Hypnotherapy if you are taking any psychiatric/psychoactive medications.

If you are epileptic or have experienced sexual abuse/trauma in the past Clinical Hypnotherapy is not a recommended treatment.
