Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is often described as a calm, relaxed state of mind, however the mind, also enters into a trance like state in many everyday situations. It is a natural state that the human mind defaults to when one is highly focussed on an activity, such as a sport, attention to detail to the exclusion of external disturbances or when one is consciously doing something repetitive, slow, or even when just relaxing, unwinding and chilling.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is that state of altered awareness described above that is induced by the hypnotherapist in order to enlist the help of the subconscious mind to bring about effective therapeutic and positive changes, speed up recovery time and provide the individual with a new skill set that will last a life time.

In 1955 the British Medical Association (BMA) and in 1958 the American Medical Association (AMA) recognised the use of Clinical Hypnosis. Since then thousands of people have found hypnosis to be an effective way to stop smoking, lose weight, overcome fears, phobias, stress/anxiety and other areas to improve the quality of their lives.

Is hypnosis safe?

YES 100%. Hypnosis is completely safe. Hypnosis is a state of altered awareness, not sleep or unconsciousness. You are aware and in control of your body and mind during hypnosis and you can terminate the session at any time.


Hypnosis is used in modern medical health practises to work in conjunction with medicine. Examples of its use are seen in dentistry, child birth, surgery and pain management.
