    What Is Hypnotherapy?

    Hypnotherapy is a skilled talking therapy which is aimed at directing a person’s imagination in such a way to create changes in perception, feelings, thoughts and behaviour. A typical session will discuss the intended changes and therapeutic goals that the client wants to achieve.

    Who Is Hypnotherapy For?

    Hypnotherapy can be used for almost everyone – all you need is real motivation to make a positive change in your life. 

    What is The Process Like?

    With our hypnotherapy sessions there is not a one size fits all. People are individuals and react and enjoy different things, therefore our sessions are tailored to fit your needs. We simply start by having a 20 minute free consultation – either face to face or over the internet – where I find out about you and what you would like help with. Our sessions are then tailored for you. We can offer online hypnotherapy sessions using a variety of different tools so that you can feel safe and comfortable in your own home. Or we can offer face to face hypnotherapy sessions from our Milton Keynes based therapy room.

    FAQ

    Do I lose control when I am hypnotised

    No. Hypnosis is a focused state – in fact you can say it is a hyper focused state. Think about when you are daydreaming or singularly focused on one thing. You can still be aware of what is going on around you but you are focused on a specific item or thing. You though are in control – if you do not want to do something then your mind will not let you do it.

    Am I asleep during hypnotherapy

    You will be in a relaxed state during hypnosis but you will not be asleep. (unless you actually wish to be asleep – remember you are in control). You can be aware of everything else around you and most people find hypnosis to be deeply relaxing and a very pleasant experience

    What to expect

    If this is your first time trying hypnosis then it can seem daunting. However, the opposite is true and instead hypnotherapy is incredibly relaxing and you are always in control - it is always your choice. To get started we talk, you close your eyes when you are ready and then we begin our visualisations.

    Again you are always in control - and you can stop at any stage. Usually our sessions last around 60 minutes. 

    Does hypnotherapy work

    Hypnotherapy works for a large number of people, but there are no guarantees. Being fully committed to the process and feeling that you can trust your hypnotherapist are key for the therapy to work. It is also important to keep an open mind, if you feel and convince yourself that something is not going to work then it will not work – after all you have just ‘hypnotised’ yourself also to believe the therapy will not work.

    How many sessions will I need

    The number of sessions you will need are dependant on your own requirements and the reasons why you are seeking hypnotherapy. Some services such as stopping smoking can be carried out in a longer one off session. Whilst other issues may require more than one session or even a long term supporting approach. At the consultation we will usually discuss how many sessions you may need – this though is flexible and open to change depending on your needs or progress.

    What can it help with

    Many people are aware that hypnotherapy can be used to stop smoking but there are also many other areas where hypnotherapy can help. These include phobias (eg. fear of flying, spiders etc), weight loss, anxiety and stress, sleep issues, public speaking, helping with grief and loss and helping with pain management.
