HYPNOSIS

The fears, myths and mystery surrounding the use of hypnosis are totally undeserved. There is absolutely no question of being controlled or manipulated, or even induced into a deep trance state. A person in hypnosis is not 'asleep', indeed they are often more aware of what is taking place than normal. Nobody can be made to do anything against their will, and anybody (with very few exceptions) can enter this deeply relaxed state.
What then is hypnosis?
Well, it is a relaxation with a state of heightened awareness, at one with a feeling of calm lethargy. It can best be described as being very similar to that first moment of waking, that is, aware of what is happening around you, but just not wanting to be bothered to move! However, two of its characteristics are a heightened susceptibility to beneficial suggestion and a much improved memory with access to 'forgotten' or repressed memories stored in the unconscious of the mind. It is these qualities of the hypnotic state that can be readily used for therapeutic purposes.
In itself the hypnotic state is very pleasant, but nothing more than that. It is a tool used by therapists, not a cure in itself.
All therapy is individual and confidential.
Suggestion Therapy
This form of therapy is the best known use of hypnosis. It makes use of the heightened susceptibility to beneficial suggestions in order to change bad habits for good ones and to build confidence. It is known especially for its high success rate in helping people to change eating habits and so lose weight, and in assisting people with pre-test or business presentation nervousness and so on.Suggestion therapy has been criticised for dealing only with the symptoms and not with the cause. For this reason, it is recommended only for the problems mentioned above.
This type of therapy usually only requires one session with me, and reinforcing sessions with a backup tape for use at your own convenience over the first four weeks. If, however, a booster session is needed, then it would be charged at half-fee rate, if taken within three months. Fee: £97.00 per 50 minute session (inclusive of backup downloaded recording).

Suggestions are included to ensure that stress levels and eating habits are kept under control. Fee: £197.00 per 50 minute session (inclusive of downloaded recordings)If needed, within the first month, a second session will be given, free of charge.

Analytical Therapy
This can be summarised briefly as the doctrine of cause and effect - every symptom must have a cause. Hypno-analysis reveals and thus removes the cause and consequently relieves the symptom. This process uses the state of hypnosis to aid the recall of past events, in their entirety. The use of such a process for the relief of nervous conditions was started some three quarters of a century ago, and has helped countless people since that time. A past emotionally important event may be hidden from the conscious mind, but is linked with a 'protective' pattern of behaviour, such as a phobia. By enabling past events to be re-examined and the emotion released, those patterns of behaviour which are no longer appropriate, the symptoms, cease.It can also be said that people undergoing the analytical process find it enjoyable and quite fascinating as a route to greater self-knowledge.
Certain problems respond particularly well to Hypnoanalysis, recent successful cases include Phobias (Agoraphobia, claustrophobia etc.), Migraine, Anxiety and Panic Attacks, Sexual Problems, Bulimia, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
This therapy usually takes up to ten weekly sessions of 50 minutes each. This is totally individual and confidential. Whilst benefits are felt during therapy, problems tend to be resolved in one or a series of experiences towards the end.
