Hypnosis is a powerful tool which assists in emotional healing, personal growth, and behaviour change. It offers a unique way to address various psychological and physical problems.
The process involves guided visualisations and relaxation techniques to help clients eliminate distractions, focus on their challenges, and develop coping skills for the future. Hypnosis can be used by health professionals to treat conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
While hypnosis can be beneficial it is most effective when combined with primary treatments like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

Hypnosis Techniques
During a hypnosis session, clients are guided into a trance-like state, enhancing their focus and receptiveness to suggestions while promoting deep relaxation.
Key techniques include:
Relaxation
The practitioner guides clients to visualise a peaceful state, even when confronting fears or problematic behaviours.
Therapeutic Suggestions
While in a trance, the practitioner provides positive suggestions or explores past experiences to help address specific issues.
Deepening
The practitioner may deepen the trance to increase focus and receptivity to suggestions.
Coping Skills
Clients may be taught cognitive-behavioural strategies like guided imagery to manage fears and anxieties.
Exploration of Past Experiences
Clients may discuss their initial encounters with the behaviours or issues they wish to overcome, reflecting on their feelings at those moments.
Post-Hypnotic Suggestions
Suggestions made during hypnosis that the client can apply in daily life to promote lasting change.
Reorientation
The practitioner guides the client back to full awareness and discusses the experience to reinforce insights or changes.
Benefits of Hypnosis
Outcomes from hypnosis can vary. Some individuals experience significant results, while others may simply feel deeply relaxed.
Benefits include:
Awareness
Clients often remain fully aware during sessions, recalling everything that occurs and being able to engage in conversation. Others may experience profound relaxation, feeling somewhat detached from their surroundings.
Focus
Hypnosis allows individuals to break free from everyday distractions, enabling deep concentration on personal issues.
Relaxation
The hypnotic state promotes deep relaxation, calming the conscious mind and allowing the unconscious to engage with the issues at hand.
Most practitioners use calming affirmations, like "you are safe," to reassure clients that they can confront their problems without panic.
How Hypnosis Can Help

Pain Management

Enhancing Self-Esteem and Confidence

Behaviour Change

Improving Sleep

Processing Trauma
