Your treatment

 

- What you can expect from your hypnotherapy treatment

Your hypnotherapy treatment is designed specifically for you

If you've never experienced hypnotherapy before, you're probably wondering what your hypnotherapy session will involve. There are so many different therapy techniques around and each therapist has his or her favourites. Some hypnotherapists will prefer to use a very traditional approach. Some will follow the same procedure for everyone. Others tend to be much more flexible, incorporating some of the newer psychotherapy techniques and tailoring each consultation to the needs of their client.

I use not only clinical hypnosis, but a variety of different skills. This allows me to adapt your treatment specifically to suit you. I have a flexible approach to therapy which enables me to treat you as a unique individual. Your hypnotherapy session is designed especially for you, to suit your personality and your particular requirements.

As well as advanced hypnotherapy techniques, your treatment can include meridian therapies and other non-invasive psychotherapy techniques. Some or all of these methods may be used. It really depends on what your issues are and what we both decide would be of most benefit to you.

I always like to involve you in your treatment and so together we discuss the best treatments for YOU. I like you to have a say in what we do. After all, it's your treatment!


Hypnotherapy is a very safe therapy

Hypnotherapy is a very safe therapy, as are the other methods I use. I explain to you at the beginning of your treatment how these techniques work so that you know what to expect and feel very comfortable with them. However you don't have to understand hypnosis and these other methods for them to work for you!

Please read my Hypnotherapy Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to find out more about how hypnotherapy works, what it feels like etc.



We focus on the future rather than mainly on past events

I’m a firm believer in 'goal orientated therapy'. This means that you decide what you would like to achieve and we work together to find ways of making it possible. Goal orientated therapy looks towards the future rather than focusing mainly on past events.

Although the bulk of my hypnotherapy sessions focus on the present and future, in some cases it can be extremely helpful to deal with any deep seated underlying issues which may be blocking your progress and preventing you from reaching your goal. One of the ways we can do this is to use a special hypnosis technique called hypno-analysis.  As with any other part of your treatment I use this technique only with your full permission.



Together we discuss your problem and then jointly agree on the best way forward

We use only methods of treatment that you are 100% comfortable with. Together we discuss your problem and any emotional blocks you may have which have been preventing you from moving forward. We then jointly agree on the best way to resolve your problem.

The beauty of hypnotherapy and the other methods I use is that I can teach you many of the techniques, including self-hypnosis, so that you can use them yourself whenever you need.

This can considerably reduce the amount of treatments you require, saving you both valuable time and money. But more importantly, it puts YOU fully in control of YOUR life. I believe that therapy shouldn't be viewed as something you "have done" to you, but as a process that involves your input and requires your commitment.



You'll be given a hypnotherapy / relaxation CD as part of your treatment

When you come for your treatment you'll receive a hypnotherapy/relaxation CD which you'll be encouraged to use at home between sessions. You might also be given various self-help handouts as appropriate.

Before we begin your treatment, we discuss your needs and what you hope to gain from your treatment. It's important that I listen carefully to what you say and understand clearly the changes you wish to make.

I also like to be aware of what motivates you to make these changes. With a clear goal in mind, we can then work together to help you reach that goal.



Your treatment uses proven ways of helping you reach your goals

Although your session is tailor made to suit your individual needs, typically it would include proven ways to help you:

Your hypnotherapy treatment is designed just for you to help you gain more confidence
