Sometimes in our lives each one of us needs a little help to make a change we really want.

We know how we want to think, feel and act, and yet sometimes it doesn’t seem possible for us to make
that change. We know what we should do, or what we need to do, and yet we continue to do what we are
used to doing.

Change can be scary and can be difficult and yet you already have the power to change your life inside
you. Through hypnotherapy I can help you achieve your full potential, to help you realize all you want to be!
This is all done without incense, swirling lights and definitely no kaftans. A commonsense approach to
common problems.


De-mythtifying hypnotherapy!
Hypnosis is a state of relaxation with a state of heightened awareness all induced by nothing more than
suggestion. It is perfectly normal and natural. In fact, hypnosis is a state so natural that every one of us
uses it sometime every day without even realizing it.

When we daydream we are experiencing a mild hypnotic trance. ‘Motorway hypnosis’ is a term coined for
those periods when we drive somewhere and cannot remember it. That’s a form of hypnotic state. This is
how you tend to feel whilst in hypnosis. It is very pleasant, relaxing and extremely comfortable. It’s an
altered state of awareness. Many people would liken it to a “mental massage”.

We have one brain but two minds - one conscious and the other unconscious. Every day we wake we
begin running programs stored deep in our unconscious mind - this is the bit that remembers all the
automatic stuff like riding a bike/driving a car, how to make yourself feel good OR bad. This ‘storage area’
is much bigger than the bit you are using to read this now.

They work together; so that when you are driving and your conscious mind suddenly switches to
something bothering you [a big presentation/shopping at Tesco]; your unconscious mind carries on
driving until you arrive at your destination or your conscious mind resumes’ driving, not remembering how
you have just driven. If something dangerous had presented itself you would have avoided it.

These running programs, once formed, have an amazing capability for producing the same results, over
and over again. Whether they are good for you or bad! Hypnosis gives you the tools to make these
programs work FOR YOU!

What a hypnotic state is not is sleep, nor are you unconscious. Nothing can be done to you without you
wanting it to; you won’t be made to quack every time you pass a duck-pond! For hypnosis to work you
must want it to happen, expect it to happen and most importantly allow it to happen.

Some people question if they are in a trance because they don’t experience a mystical transcendental
journey; the truth is the depth and state of trance is different for everyone. However everyone can
experience the hypnotic state and therefore everyone can benefit from hypnosis.

Hypnosis is effective in all areas of self improvement, in overcoming fears and phobias, in assisting in
health and well-being as well. It can be very successful changing habits, overcoming anxiety, losing
weight, defeating depression, to name a few of its applications. Hypnosis has been used for centuries,
and millions of people have been helped in many different ways.

Its also an excellent way of relaxing - try a ‘mind massage’ - a period of pure deep relaxation. The effects
of which last far longer than a traditional massage. And its a great way to get into hypnosis!
