Hypnotherapy is very simply…therapy or suggestions, given to you while you are experiencing the state of hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a state of consciousness you enter and leave naturally all the time during day to day experiences. It feels very much like day dreaming. You are in Hypnosis frequently, when you are concentrating on something of great interest e.g. watching TV or movies, playing computer games etc. Another common example of this naturally occurring state of mind is when you are driving down the road, with your mind focussed on some other task, and next thing you know, you have passed your next turn.

With hypnotherapy, the therapist works with you, giving you appropriate, positive suggestions, while using techniques that will assist you to achieve your goals. You are aware and in control at all times and you are powerfully focusing your mind on positive ideas and goal orientated suggestions.

Positive suggestions, in themselves, can have a very therapeutic effect on the mind and body for self-improvement and/for the release of problems. More and more the medical and scientific establishment is researching and acknowledging the connection between mind and body, and recognising hypnotherapy as a valuable health and therapeutic tool.
