What Is Hypnosis? 0800 6129550

Hypnosis is purely and simply a very relaxed state of mind. Part of the skill of the hypnotherapist is to be able to help you achieve this ultra relaxed state and help you to stay there.

When a person is in this highly relaxed state, a skilled hypnotherapist can help a person put their conscious thoughts to one side and talk directly to the unconscious mind.

The unconscious is responsible for lots of automatic actions, these are things that have become second nature to you.

How many of you have ever driven somewhere and then realised that you cannot remember the last few miles of the journey?

The reason for that is that you drove unconsciously. Now, that might sound a dangerous thing to do, but it is a good illustration of how elegant a tool hypnosis is.

If you can drive 5 miles in a hypnotic state and still function perfectly normally by responding to all the issues that driving creates then that shows you just how much control you have when in the state of hypnosis.

Nobody ever says or does anything under hypnosis that they would not normally say or do in their normal everyday life.

You cannot get stuck in a hypnotic state you either wake up or have a nice sleep, as simple as that.

ARE ALL HYPNOTHERAPISTS THE SAME?

Unfortunately they are not! It is a sad fact that some people can become hypnotherapists on the strength of reading a book or doing a 4 day course and never doing any further professional development or supervision.

I am a Member of the International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysts IAPH.

I am bound to a strong code of conduct and continual professional development. The "IAPH" has been in existence for 25 years. Click here to see the IAPH code of conduct: "CODE OF CONDUCT"

I am a holder of a full Criminal Records Bureau Check (CRB). My CRB check shows that I have clearance to work with both children and vulnerable adults.

I hold full professional indemnity insurance to the value of 2 million pounds.

I do not work from my home or other peoples homes. I work out of a clinic which has no other purpose than as a base for helping the clients that walk through my door.

I am committed to continual professional development. I attend courses all over the UK throughout the year to ensure that the methods I use are up to date and work as rapidly as possible with my clients.

What I am really trying to convey to you is that for me, this is a full time occupation. Your problems are my full time concern and I am not trying to juggle my practice with anything else.
