Hypnotherapy

We all go in and out of hypnosis intermittently throughout every day. When we find ourselves lost in a daydream, we are in a state of hypnosis. In this state, logical thinking is toned down and we are more in touch with our subconscious. Hypnotherapy utilises the state of hypnosis to make intentional contact with the subconscious mind, to bring about beneficial changes in the way you feel, think and behave.

Hypnotherapy is safe and natural, creative and gentle and commonly associated with an enjoyable and pleasant relaxation. It can help reduce stress and anxiety, alleviate fears and phobias and raise confidence, self-esteem and well-being. Positive changes are usually experienced after the first 1 or 2 sessions, and goals are often reached within around 3 to 6 sessions.
