What Is Hypnotherapy?     Hypnotherapy is a process of enabling or guiding you into a trance state for a specific purpose. A trance state is an altered state of consciousness between an awakened state and that of sleep. When you are in an hypnotically induced trance you are able to interact with the therapist and are capable of solving your problems, gaining different perspectives and reprocessing childhood evaluations which, in the here and now, cause limiting reactions and behaviours. These limiting beliefs are often outside our conscious awareness and we often justify our repeated patterns of behaviour by saying “that’s just the way I am”. We may often think we should do something about it, but feel we cannot. These patterns can go on for years and manifest themselves in many different ways, from a sense of general unease, through to worry, anxiety, panic, fear, dread, phobia, depression and so on. Hypnotherapy is a collaboration between client and therapist. Working as a team, I will be guiding you towards accessing your resources and capabilities that can generate the necessary change within you, to move you towards the life you want for yourself. Cognitive Hypnotherapy uses the unique approach of Wordweaving, created by Trevor Silvester, Training Director of the Quest Institute to ensure the therapy is specifically aimed towards the unique needs of each individual.
