Important things to know about Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis

There are lots of myths and misconceptions about hypnotherapy and some misleading representations on the internet and tv about how it works. So here are some important things to know about the way I practice:

1. Hypnotherapy cannot do anything to your mind or brain. It cannot switch things off for you. Your mind is however very powerful. Hypnotherapy helps you use your mind to make the changes you want and need.

2. During the sessions you are awake and in full control. Trust and feeling safe is very important.

Hypnosis is very safe and can be thought of state in which the mind and body are deeply calm and less threatened by the past of the day-to-day stresses and strains of life. In this state the mind becomes more open to ideas, new ways to seeing things and suggestions. These suggestions must be suggestions that the person themselves wants. In this state, it can feel like getting back in touch with your real self, a self that knows what you really need (to feel settled, happy and well) and how to solve things.

As part of the therapy, we help you:

1. Remember who you really are, what’s good about you, your strengths

2. Reimagine how you want to be

3. Decide on small steps (however small) that you could take forward

4. Help you experience an improvement in powerful way whilst in the deeply calm hypnotic state. (This can feel like having a pleasant reassuring, motivating dream that lasts for some time afterwards)

After each of the sessions you should leave feeling calmer, more optimistic than at the start of the session.

We also give you a guided hypnosis audio to listen to in between sessions to practice going into the calm part of the mind.

Behind this approach is an important set of values that sees everyone we work with as an equal person, as capable in their own right, as being more than enough and that somewhere within them, lies the answers.

Why not get in touch to find out how this sort of approach could help you?

Take good care.

  • Qualifications & Experience
    I have a Diploma is Solution-focused Hypnotherapy awarded by my training school which was CPHT Plymouth. Gaining this qualification involved over 450 hours of teaching and study, attendance at all modules, observed and video-recorded practice, and the presentation of case study clients. Achieving this has allowed me to become a registered member of the Association of Solution Focused Hypnotherapists (AfSFH).

    I also have a diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy. This is the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (the ‘HPD’) awarded by the National Council for Hypnotherapy. This was a huge achievement for me and required the submission of an extensive portfolio of evidence showing my understand of clinical hypnotherapy in practice. This allows me to us ‘MNCH (Reg.)’ after my name.

    I also have a clear Enhanced DBS (criminal record) check, regular supervision, appropriate insurances and undertake additional training each year. I am registered with the Information Commissioners Office because some of the information people share with us is personal and confidential.

    I am also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council, as suggested by the NHS for people who are considering using complementary therapy like hypnotherapy.
