Hypnotherapy
What Is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy/hypnosis is a focused, evidence-informed approach that uses guided relaxation to access the subconscious mind and support positive psychological change. It’s designed to help individuals overcome a wide range of issues by identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns, beliefs, or behaviours held beneath conscious awareness.
This therapy takes a gentle, collaborative, and non-judgmental approach to healing and self-development. It can be effective for concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, phobias, sleep difficulties, addictions, habits like smoking or nail biting, chronic pain, and confidence in areas like public speaking or performance.
Hypnotherapy may draw from various psychological models—including cognitive behavioural, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based approaches—and is tailored to each person’s needs. It’s respectful, confidential, and grounded in creating a safe space for inner work and lasting change.

The goal of hypnotherapy isn’t just to treat a specific symptom—it’s to empower lasting change by helping you reconnect with your inner resources, shift limiting patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
Your first session usually begins with a conversation. You'll talk with your therapist about what you'd like support with, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have.
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. You remain in control at all times, and you cannot be made to do or say anything against your will.
Once you're comfortable, your therapist will guide you into a deeply relaxed state—similar to daydreaming or being absorbed in a book or film.
In this state, your mind is more open and focused. You'll work together to explore helpful suggestions, images, or insights that support the change you're seeking.
You may feel calm, refreshed, or even emotionally lighter after a session. Most people find the experience relaxing, safe, and empowering.
Over time, hypnotherapy can help shift underlying patterns, reduce unwanted symptoms, and build inner confidence and clarity.
