Hypnosis is a state of mind in which you are willing to take to heart and act upon choices consistent with your goals and personality. You cannot be made to do things with which you disagree and you are conscious at all times.

The use of hypnosis can create a powerhouse of enthusiasm enabling you to focus totally on any task at hand. You can be propelled towards your goals by harnessing your sub-conscious to link your mind with your body to create a sense of calm, switching off the fight or flight mechanism in your brain. The residual anxiety and discomfort you carry with you will be improved by a sense of peace. You can easily sluice away the urges of bad habits by repeating a simple statement given to you whilst under hypnosis.

An initial consultation is just under an hour with the first half being an assessment so that I can tailor-make the best techniques of hypnosis to address your particular problem. I encourage people to bring a new audio cassette tape or an MP3 player so the hypnosis can be recorded for home use. A few practices can make it more effective, saving you time and money by cutting down on the number of visits needed. Most people need one or two visits per problem, with the second visit being a half hour that is purely hypnosis.

However, some mental and medical conditions will make a client an unsuitable subject. A hypnotherapy consultation with myself always starts with a thorough assessment, so the client is safe. Beware of ham practitioners, as they can be dangerous!
