What is hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is not as woo woo as people might think, there is plenty of science behind it. Put simply, hypnosis an altered state of awareness, that allows for improved focus and concentration. This is achieved through guided relaxation and visualisation techniques…
Hypnosis is actually a completely natural state of mind, like daydreaming whilst doing the washing up or gazing out of the window. You are deeply relaxed but aware, just like when you’re driving and forget parts of the journey or when you get lost in a film or good book. This heightened state of mind is perfect for positive suggestibility. You can access your own powerful subconscious mind (like your very own hard drive), where all your deeply rooted emotions, beliefs and habits are stored
Â
Hypnos derives from the Greek word for sleep and -osis is a suffix derived from the Greek meaning a process, condition, action or state…see there’s nothing scary about it at all!

Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of this hypnotic state, which is a form of psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy allows you to achieve specific positive long-term changes to your life, simply by the power of suggestion. By gently exploring your subconscious mind, we will identify any trigger points for the issue and then reframe the negative element by integrating the new thinking into your subconscious. So it becomes rewired in your brain, promoting positive changes which lead both body and mind toward greater health, happiness and success.
About hypnotherapy
How does hypnotherapy work?      Â
Hypnotherapy gently guides your brain into Alpha and Theta (sometimes the super deep Delta waves) brainwave states, those lovely long, calm waves that occur just before sleep or deep meditation. This state of mind is deeply restorative and hugely beneficial, allowing your familiar busy conscious mind to safely wander off temporarily, giving you access to the biggest part of your mind…your subconscious.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes! Hypnosis is not harmful and you are in control at all times…you can exit the trance state whenever you want to…it is your choice entirely to relax into the hypnotic trance state and you will not do or say anything that you find unacceptable to your own values or accepted patterns of behaviour.
Rewire your brain! Clear the mind clutter, bask in the rewards
You can literally rewrite your subconscious patterns and achieve the freedom and joy you deserve! Whoo hoo! Allow the shift and feel the results…
You are extraordinary…fill your mind so full of positivity that old negative beliefs have no room to rent your brain space…
Shape your life the way you want it with hypnotherapy…
Your beliefs control your thoughts…your thoughts control your feelings…your feelings control your actions…your actions control events…so when you take control of your thinking…it actually changes your life… amazing!
The mind-blowing bit
Neuroscience discovered that your brain shares neural pathways…it actually activates the same regions in the visual cortex for imagined objects/situations as physical objects/situations…

the reality signal tracker region of your brain (The Fusiform Gyrus) measures the strength and vividness of the sensory activity and decides if the signal is weak (making it imagined) or strong (making it real) and then your anterior insula region of your prefrontal cortex gets involved with a yes or no to determine the reality…soooooo…if your imagination becomes vivid enough to cross this brain threshold…your fabulous brain will treat it as a reality…strengthening the same neural pathways as if it were actually happening…making hypnosis an extremely powerful tool where you can rewire your brain to think big…we can use vivid imagery…mental rehearsal and positive suggestion to help you achieve your goals…quite literally you can train your brain to achieve whatever you desire…
