What is Hypnotherapy?
It can be described as your own personal journey to understanding and overcoming the difficulties and conflicts in your life.

Hypnotherpy is now recognised as one of the safest techniques to channel the power of your subconscious mind into change, health and well-being.

What is suggestion therapy?
It is used to produce a change in specific behaviours such as in smoking, slimming, nail biting, pretest nerves, relaxation and confidence boosting. Suggestion therapy requires 1 – 3 one hour sessions.

What is the hypnotic state?
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness – a state of deep relaxation and concentration on internal rather than external stimuli. Most of us experience this several times a day without consciously realising it. Entering this state with a qualified practitioner is safe and beneficial. It is a path to our emotions, past events, that have been suppressed by the conscious mind., The subconscious can access facts, information, causes of feelings, behaviours and attitudes. It helps you to take control and deal with the unconscious causes and effects.
