Your subconscious mind contains all your memories and knows everything about you. Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years and Hypnotherapy is simply a therapy, which uses Hypnosis as a powerful tool to facilitate change. It is the natural power of your own mind, which is used to relieve symptoms and alter unwanted behaviour patterns. Hypnotherapy is non-addictive and safe with no unwanted or unpleasant side effects.

No one else can every control your mind with the use of Hypnosis. It is your mind and your are in control. You do not go 'out' or 'to sleep' and you are not unconscious. You hear everything that is said to you. You are in an altered state of consciousness with a very narrow focus of attention. Ninety nine percent of people remember everything that the therapist has said during the sessions and on rare instances the therapist might need to remind them of one or two points that they talked about in order to trigger of the rest of the memory. Nothing happens without your consent, and you are in control. However you are extremely relaxed.

Everyone can be hypnotised but only if they want to be. All that is needed is your co-operation and desire to be hypnotised. The Therapist will explain what Hypnotherapy is and how it works so that you are comfortable about it. The only people who cannot be hypnotised are those who are drunk or below average intelligence or people who do no want to be hypnotised. Being hypnotised may not feel as you thought it would feel, but that does not mean you are not hypnotised.

Hypnotherapy is a positive, beneficial and non-judgemental experience. It is a way of freeing yourself and resolving all the old conflicts and injuries and replacing them with a fresh strategy to help you realise your full potential. It allows you to let go of your emotional past and rebuild your future making you a stronger more emotionally stable and powerful individual who can take control of your life.

Patients should have no fear that they will remain in a trance or that they will be under the control of the Hypnotherapist. Therapists have no wish to control their patients and in fact work to return control to patients whose illness, anxiety or condition is an indication of loss of control.

No drugs or tablets are used and there are no unwanted side effects from the treatment. The natural power of the mind is used to relieve symptoms and alter unwanted patterns of belief and behaviour.

Hypnotherapy is suitable for children usually from eight years old onwards provided they can understand what is being said and are intelligent and imaginative.

Hypnotherapy could change your life forever. The psychological problems, bad relationships, lack of confidence and unhappiness experienced by you in the past are no longer relevant to your future.
