Clinical Hypnotherapy
In hypnotherapy you are guided into a natural state in which your body and mind become deeply relaxed. People generally find this to be a very pleasant and calming experience. Experiencing this state can be very beneficial; muscles relax and soften and mental chatter can quieten, giving your whole body and mind a much needed rest.
Imagine feeling the tension in your neck and shoulders melting away as you relax into the chair, gradually your awareness of discomfort drifts away into the distance and you notice your mind is calmer and ever so quiet.
Hypnotherapy can be used to enhance general physical wellbeing and can be very effective in treating problems caused by or aggravated by stress. It can enable people living with chronic health conditions to significantly improve the quality of their lives. Alternatively, hypnotherapy can be used to effectively overcome problems such as low self-esteem or to replace negative patterns and habits.

Hypnotherapy can be used to help improve your health and wellbeing in many ways including to:
- Reduce pain and enhance general wellbeing
- Achieve deeper sleep
- Relieve migraines and headaches
- Lower high blood pressure
- Reduce inflammation and improve immunity
- Improve digestion and bowel function

The body and mind are intimately connected; our mental states affect many aspects of our physiology and in turn our physical health has a huge impact on how we feel mentally and emotionally. The mind-body connection can be harnessed to greatly enhance your wellbeing irrespective of your current state of health. This is exactly what I aim to help you achieve in the clinical hypnotherapy sessions that I offer. Alternatively you may like to consider the benefits of The Empowerment Plan, a comprehensive course of life coaching and hypnotherapy designed to dramatically improve your quality of life!

How can hypnotherapy help improve your wellbeing?
Scientific evidence suggests that we can use the mind-body connection to improve our health and to manage chronic health conditions more effectively. Hypnotherapy is a particularly powerful tool for improving wellbeing because it relaxes both the mind and the body and research has shown it to be effective in treating a number of conditions including chronic pain, post-operative pain and insomnia.
In a deeply relaxed hypnotic state, your body can return to its natural calmer state and thus body systems begin to function better. For example circulation to our feet and hands and also to our stomach usually increases when we begin to relax deeply. Importantly, whilst fully relaxed your body releases potent hormones called endorphins, also known as "happy hormones". These endorphins are powerful natural painkillers and potent mood boosters that form part of our bodies' natural healing mechanism.
Hypnotherapy can help you to activate and benefit from these natural healing mechanisms. It is suitable and effective for people living with chronic health problems, as well as those experiencing signs of burn out or symptoms of stress. I specialise in working with people living with chronic health problems and stress-related symptoms so you may wish to click here to contact me.
How quickly will you feel the positive effects of hypnotherapy?
Depending on your situation you may require more or fewer sessions to achieve lasting improvements in your health. Within just one session you will experience the beneficial effects of deep and refreshing relaxation, reduced tension and a greater sense of calm. Clients often sleep very well after just one session of hypnotherapy and one of my clients with acute insomnia actually fell asleep during her first session with me.
I recommend at least one follow up session where you can learn how to achieve the same amazing results for yourself using self-hypnosis and other techniques. If you practice on a regular basis you will be able to go about your daily life in a more calm state that will enable you to function better and feel much better.
Overcome habits or negative patterns

Hypnotherapy can be a great way to make rapid changes to the way you feel and behave, allowing you to achieve your goals, cope well with challenges and enjoy life more.
- Boost your self-worth and confidence (generally or in specific situations)
- Challenge negative beliefs and learn to believe in yourself
- Tackle overeating and gain motivation to lead a healthier lifestyle
- Rapidly cure phobias including needle phobias and other medicine related phobias
- Replace negative self-talk with an internal coach and supporter
How can hypnotherapy help me to achieve rapid change?
Sometimes we behave in ways that we know are neither beneficial nor consistent with our long-term desires. Despite our best conscious effort we struggle to shift these patterns and cause ourselves real difficulties. This is because much of our behaviour is strongly influenced by subconscious beliefs and patterns and at times these can sabotage even our most determined efforts.
Whilst in a hypnotised state it is possible to more rapidly identify deeply held beliefs and unconscious patterns that are holding you back. Having identified negative beliefs and patterns at their root within the subconscious, they can be replaced with helpful patterns and supportive beliefs. This will remove the inner battle and assist you in achieving your goals and feeling good about yourself and life in general. These new and supportive habits and beliefs can also be re-enforced using brain rehearsal techniques that will leave you feeling as if they came naturally to you.
