Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical hypnotherapy is a specialised therapeutic approach that harnesses the natural power of hypnosis to support personal growth, emotional balance, and meaningful behavioural change. By guiding you into a state of focused relaxation, it allows safe access to the subconscious mind, the part of you that stores underlying thoughts, emotions, and memories influencing your current wellbeing.
Hypnosis is a natural state of consciousness, similar to daydreaming or deep meditation, where your body feels deeply relaxed and your mind becomes calm yet focused. In this state, you remain fully aware and in control at all times, you can not be made to do anything against your will. Instead, you become more open to positive suggestions, new insights, and the possibility of lasting transformation.
Within this calm and controlled environment, hypnotherapy helps uncover the root causes of emotional blocks, fears, unhelpful habits, or limiting beliefs. Each session is designed to provide not only clarity and insight but also practical strategies tailored specifically to your goals, empowering you to create healthier patterns and a more balanced, confident outlook on life.
How Clinical Hypnotherapy Works & Its Benefits
Clinical hypnotherapy is a safe, gentle, and evidence-supported approach that encourages natural healing and change. Sessions last around 50 minutes, giving you time to enter a deeply relaxed state and explore issues at a pace that feels comfortable. Hypnotherapy can be used as a standalone treatment or alongside other therapeutic approaches, making it a versatile option for emotional, behavioural, and mental wellbeing.
The Hypnotherapy Process:
-
In our first meeting, we’ll take time to understand your goals, personal history, and any specific challenges you’re facing. This step ensures the session is fully tailored to your individual needs, and gives you a chance to ask questions and feel comfortable with the process. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood.
-
I will gently guide you into a state of deep relaxation using techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, or calming breathing exercises. This stage allows your body to unwind and your mind to become calm yet alert. You remain fully aware and in control, but with a heightened ability to focus inward and access your subconscious mind.
-
Once relaxed, we’ll begin addressing the issues you want to work on. This may involve exploring the roots of unhelpful behaviours, reframing negative thought patterns, or using suggestion therapy to encourage healthier habits and emotional responses. Each approach is chosen carefully to align with your unique goals and comfort level.
-
During this stage, I provide positive, tailored suggestions to help reinforce the changes we’ve worked on in the session. These may include new ways of thinking, emotional coping strategies, or practical behaviours that support your wellbeing. These suggestions are designed to “take root” in your subconscious and continue supporting you long after the session ends.
-
You are gently guided back to full awareness, feeling refreshed, calm, and clear-headed. Many people describe this stage as waking from a deep, restorative rest. We then take time to reflect on your experience, any insights gained, and how you felt during the process.
-
Progress doesn’t stop at the end of the session. We’ll review what you experienced, discuss any shifts you’ve noticed, and plan next steps if ongoing sessions will support your journey. This ensures continuity and helps you build on the changes made during hypnosis, turning insights into long-term transformation.
Benefits you may experience:
-
Learn to calm racing thoughts, manage triggers, and approach life with a sense of balance.
-
Reframe negative self-perceptions, boosting self-assurance in personal and professional life.
-
Hypnosis encourages restful sleep, helping you wake refreshed and mentally clear.
-
Replace behaviours such as smoking, overeating, or nail-biting with healthier, more constructive patterns.
-
Reduce the emotional impact of triggers and develop new, positive responses to previously distressing situations.
-
Gain tools to manage stress, cope with challenges, and respond to life’s obstacles with greater clarity and control.
