Clinical Hypnotherapy
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural and pleasant altered state of consciousness that brings about selective, focused attention, where you are deeply relaxed and alert at the same time.
We often experience this “trance-like” state in everyday living, for example, when you are daydreaming, watching a movie or so absorbed in book that you lose track of time. It can be said that you are in a hypnotic state
What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?
Clinical Hypnotherapy is the use of this altered state of consciousness to bring about the desired change a client wants in their lives. A branch of psychotherapy, termed 'brief therapy' which means unlike traditional psychotherapy, it takes much fewer sessions to achieve results.
Our minds work on two levels – the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In this relaxed altered state known as Trance we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. The Clinical Hypnotherapist utilises the power of positive suggestion to bring about subconscious change to our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Hypnosis is commonly used by sports people, public speakers and corporate management for motivation
Clinical hypnotherapy is a mutual agreement between the client and Hypnotherapist to work together to bring about lasting positive change and improvement in the quality of the client's life.
Our most deeply held beliefs about ourselves and what we believe we are capable of is stored within the subconscious mind. It is these deeply held patterns and beliefs that drive our decisions and shape our lives. It is these subconscious beliefs and patterns that we must change when we desire to make a lasting, positive change in our lives.
How Does it Work?
During hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed, natural state, while the subconscious mind remains awake and receptive to suggestion. Hypnotic suggestions bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the subconscious mind. When given a new suggestion that is within the bounds of a person's belief system and moral orientation, the subconscious mind accepts it literally as a new reality. The ability to re-program emotional attitudes and reactions is a latent talent within every human being. Hypnosis is the most functional and reasonable way to build new behaviours, create new patterns and find alternate ways of dealing with situations, thereby enforcing positive changed and restoring well-being of mind and body.

Hypnotherapy is effective, powerful and it works. It also works faster than other modes of therapy as it directly deals with the subconscious mind.
