Clinical Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a safe and natural form of therapy that uses focused relaxation and concentration techniques to access your subconscious mind. In this heightened state of awareness, you become open to positive suggestions and insights that can reframe your thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses. It’s not about losing control, quite the opposite, it's about gaining control over areas of your life where you’ve felt stuck or overwhelmed.

​

Hypnotherapy dives directly into your subconscious. It works by guiding you into a deeply relaxed state where your mind is more open to positive suggestions. Instead of talking through issues consciously, hypnotherapy helps reframe deep-rooted beliefs and behaviours at the subconscious level, where many of our automatic responses live. It's like hacking the mind to rewrite your internal code.

​

Conscious therapies or traditional therapies refer to therapeutic approaches that primarily engage the individual's conscious mind and cognitive processes. These therapies focus on the thoughts, behaviours, and emotions that individuals are aware of and can articulate. The goal of conscious therapies is to help clients understand and modify their conscious thoughts and behaviours to promote mental well-being and personal growth. Examples of conscious therapies include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy.

Clinical Hypnotherapy: The Power of Integration

Integrating hypnotherapy with conscious therapies is a potent approach that amplifies the effectiveness of each method. By addressing both the subconscious roots of challenges and combining it with conscious therapeutic strategies needed for change, clients experience:

• Deeper Insight: Accessing the subconscious reveals underlying issues that may not be addressed in traditional therapies alone.

• Enhanced Healing: The combined techniques facilitate profound emotional release and transformation, leading to quicker and more significant progress.

• Holistic Growth: This integration supports the development of a more balanced mindset, empowering clients to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.

• Personal Empowerment: Clients gain greater control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, fostering a sense of agency in their healing journey.

​

This holistic approach empowers clients to embark on a transformative journey toward mental clarity, healing, and personal growth, unlocking their full potential and paving the way for a brighter future.

The Mechanisms of Hypnosis

In our daily lives, the conscious mind is often inundated with distractions, worries, and continuous thoughts. This mental clutter can hinder our ability to access deeper insights and emotions. Hypnosis induces a state of relaxation that calms this mental chatter, enabling individuals to focus inward and connect more readily with their subconscious mind.

​

What It Feels Like to Be Hypnotised
Experiencing hypnosis is often described as entering a deeply relaxed state characterised by focused attention and a profound sense of calm. Many report feeling as though they are sinking into a comfortable chair or lying on a soft surface, with their bodies growing heavy and relaxed while their minds become tranquil and still. Thoughts may drift, yet individuals remain aware and alert, able to hear everything happening around them.

​

Maintaining Control During Hypnosis
A common misconception is that hypnosis involves surrendering one’s will or losing consciousness. However, it is essential to understand that individuals maintain control throughout the process. Awareness of the surroundings and the hypnotic process remains intact, and if discomfort arises or there is a desire to stop, individuals can easily open their eyes and return to full alertness.

​

Clients often report feeling empowered during hypnosis, actively participating in their exploration and change. While the hypnotist provides guidance through suggestions and visualization techniques, it is ultimately the individual's mind that determines how to respond. This ensures that the experience aligns with personal goals and values.
