I've published a new blog post today following the Sunday Times' investigation into the risks of the anti-anxiety medication pregabalin. In my post I explain why hypnotherapy is a effective and safe alternative to anti-anxiety medication

There are so many misconceptions regarding hypnosis... The one most people mistake clinical hypnosis with is stage hypnosis, this is where a hypnotist selects pre screened susceptible candidates prior to them being called up to the stage. They are then hypnotised using a very short routine where they close their eyes and then on demand they will be requested to say or do something such as bark like a dog when a certain word or phrase is used...

Its very funny and is not fake... and that's the problem!

A certain part of our brain will think whatever we tell it is true and very real and act accordingly... This is the cause of anxiety and stress, when this part of the brain does not know when to turn off!

Clinical hypnotherapists like myself help you regain control of this part of the brain so that you make decisions and come up with answers that are sound, sensible and right for you.

I often get asked..... What is trance?... What happens?... Is it safe?

Yes, it is perfectly safe, we all go in and out of trance many times a day.

For example, when you are watching TV and your nearest and dearest says "Are you listening to me? Did you hear what I just said?" or when you are running on the treadmill at the gym, thinking about that up and coming holiday, and the most common one of all.... when you are driving a familiar route and then suddenly realise you are further on than you thought or, worse, you've arrived!

Well that's trance...

It is your conscious and subconscious minds coming together in focused concentration, it's when we are able to sort out problems intellectually.

During our therapy sessions, we use trance to help our clients to get the best out of themselves ✨

Our approach to therapy is 'solution focused'. This means that we help our clients to focus on the solutions to problems, and not on the problems themselves.

We are focused on helping to transform our clients' negative state of thinking into a positive set of goals.

We use scaling to assess levels of happiness or confidence. Over time we see our clients moving their way up the scale as positive change starts to happen in their life💚
