Hypnotherapy

"I'm so pleased.... My friends can't believe it! I came in to tell Richard how delighted I am."

Hypnotherapy is a safe, gentle and very effective treatment for a range of conditions, from giving up smoking, to anxiety, phobias and even chronic pain. Hypnotherapy allows a new sense of control over your inner thoughts and ideas. Because what we think or say to ourselves determines how we feel and act, hypnotherapy allows real, effective and lasting change.

Hypnosis can help you:

Build Confidence, Self Esteem and Ego: Improve your self-projection. Change negative into positive behaviours. Increase confidence and self-acceptance. Improve self-respect. Handle rejection feelings.

Stop Smoking: Eliminate the smoking habit with little or no withdrawal symptoms, often in as little as one or two sessions.

Control Weight and Eating Problems: Promote new eating habits. Motivate weight loss (or gain if necessary). Maintain desired goal weight. Boost energy and desire for exercise.

Eliminate Sleep Problems: Detach from business, professional worries. Self Hypnosis can induce drowsiness. Awake refreshed with 'your batteries recharged'.

Manage Stress in All Aspects of Life: Learn techniques to reduce or eliminate stress, cope better and change specific behaviour patterns. Reduce high blood pressure. Promote relaxation.

Master Public Speaking and Speech Problems: Stop blushing, end shyness. Gain confidence in conversation. Eliminate tension prior to interview. Reduce stage, speech or lecture fright.

End Anxiety, Panic, Fears and Phobias: Eliminate a fear of something, such as lifts, air travel, crowds, spiders, disease, etc. Learn to react differently. Cope with your fears in a new more positive way.

Improve Your Self and Quality of Life: Achieve personal fulfilment through motivation, goal-setting and achievement. Instil feelings of comfort with regard to success.

Promote Good Health: Ease the symptoms and reduce the effects of such chronic problems as colitis, muscle spasm and ulcers. Control asthma, migraine, and other conditions. Ease skin disorders. Improve the immune system and promote natural healing.

Control Pain: Safe, natural alternative to anaesthetic for surgery, burns, dentistry, etc. Control pain in chronic conditions such as arthritis or back pain.

Break Bad Habits and Promote New Ones: Increase motivation. Become more positive. Eliminate negative thoughts. Release anger, grief, frustration.

Please note that, as with any kind of alternative or complementary health care, hypnosis (and hypnotherapy) is not a substitute for seeing your medical doctor. If you have an ailment or injury you should consult your medical doctor before commencing a course with a hypnotherapist. And of course you should keep your doctor informed of the progress you make!

HYPNOTHERAPY FOR IBS

Sufferers of Irritable Bowel Syndrome are familiar with the debilitating effects of pain, bloating, wind, diarrhoea or constipation.
Most conventional treatment focuses on diet and uses antispasmodics (muscle relaxants) or fibre based products to regulate the bowel.
Most of the symptoms however, are able to be reduced or eradicated using hypnotherapy.
We look at the true causes of IBS and give you strategies to deal with them.
Finally, by learning self-hypnosis you will gain greater control over many more areas of your life.

HYPNOTHERAPY FOR ANXIETY

Stress and anxiety are normal parts of life. For many people, however, they can often dictate how they live, and what they can and can't do. Anxiety can manifest itself in anything from being frightened of new challenges through to the devastating feelings that accompany panic attacks. Conventional medications can alleviate many symptoms, but until the underlying causes are tackled they are unlikely to be completely successful. Hypnotherapy allows you to learn how to truly relax, and techniques to enable you to control anxious thoughts and feelings. This brings a marvellous sense of freedom from the constraints of the past. The final stage of treatment is to learn self hypnosis, enabling you to continue to expand on the control you will have already gained-without needing anyone else.

HYPNOTHERAPY FOR SKIN CONDITIONS

For many people their skin can be a constant source of anxiety. Eczema, Psoriasis and Dermatitis can flare up at exactly the moment you don't want it to.
At first sight it may seem unlikely that hypnotherapy can be much use. We believe however that the skin is a 'mirror of our emotions'. It is precisely because we are anxious that the skin breaks out, almost as if our body is trying to tell us something.
Hypnotherapy treatment involves a limited amount of finding out the causes for each individual sufferer, then concentrates on allowing the body to respond differently, thus reducing and controlling symptoms.
Then by learning self hypnosis, you gain greater control not only over your skin but all areas of your life.

HYPNOTHERAPY FOR PAIN CONTROL

Pain is the body's mechanism for letting us know that something is wrong. So we can take our hand from a flame or we deal with that nagging headache. There are times, however, when pain continues long after we have tried to deal with the underlying problem, for example in arthritis or in back pain. This is no longer useful and can indeed become depressing and tiresome. Sometimes restricting activities and affecting our lives to an enormous degree.
Much of the effect of pain is possible to control using the power of the mind. After all, pain is our unconscious interpretation of the signals being sent to the brain. These signals come from the nerves in the affected area. If the interpretation is changed, the pain sensation can be dealt with in a more positive way.
Hypnotherapy provides a mechanism to do this, gently and effectively, without the unpleasant side-effects of many analgesic drugs.

Each person is treated as an individual so it is not possible to say exactly how many sessions are needed for each condition.
