What is Hypnotherapy?
Positive suggestions and guided imagery are used to help people deal with a variety of concerns and issues.
Every culture has used hypnosis in one form or another. Derived from the Greek word hypnos, meaning sleep, the earliest evidence of its existence was found among shamans, who were also referred to as ‘medicine men’ or ‘healers’.
During a hypnotherapy session, the state you experience may appear to be similar to sleep, but it’s with the difference that you are fully aware of what is going on and it’s you who remains in control of how verbal cues are heard and acted upon.

How Hypnotherapy may help you
Are you looking for a way to access the wisdom of your mind?
Being guided into a deeply relaxed state can offer a way to connect more intuitively with the powerful resources of your mind.
Many people find that hypnotherapy can be effective with a variety of issues, such as:
- stress
- shyness
- exams and learning
- job interviews and performance
- creativity
- sleeping patterns
- healthy eating
- emotional and health issues
- pain control
“Your mind is hugely powerful
and taking the time to tap
into its power can bring
amazing benefits…”
If you want to make positive changes in your life hypnotherapy can be an excellent motivator and confidence builder. There may be things from your past that you would like to explore or there may be things in the present that you want to try and change.
In the presence of a serious health challenge or chronic pain, hypnotherapy can enhance wellbeing when it is used for relaxation and visualisation as an adjunctive support to mainstream interventions.

Are you trying to lose weight?
Or fed up with losing weight and putting the pounds back on?
Losing weight and keeping the pounds off is by no means easy. So, how could the way you think help you to sustain your ideal body size?
Maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging for several reasons. We might react to stressful situations by comfort eating. Or we might snack on food to stave off feelings of boredom, loneliness or an unpleasant experience.
Sometimes we might eat more when we feel happy or just because we want to give ourselves a treat. And sometimes we may not even notice that the way we eat has become a lifestyle habit.
When you decide to start a diet, often this can bring up feelings of deprivation because it feels like we are missing out on our favourite foods. And when the desired goalposts still seem far away, we can lose heart and feel defeated. Do you recognise any of this?
Hypnotherapy can help you change your relationship to food so that you can feel empowered to develop healthy eating habits.
You can choose between the hypno-gastric band system and the weight loss hypnotherapy system.
Hypno-Gastric Band System
Consists of four sessions and can assist you to reduce the amount you eat. The hypno-gastric band system is ideal if you find that your portions are too large as the system can promote feelings of fullness in the stomach helping to reduce the amount you eat. You will receive recordings to play at home to reinforce the therapy.
Hypnotherapy Weight Loss System
Consists of five sessions. The sessions deal with what has caused you to put on weight helping you to build your confidence and self-esteem. You will receive recordings to play at home to reinforce the therapy.
How successful is weight loss with hypnotherapy?
Depending on your situation and motivation, hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool to help you change the way you think and feel about food.
If you decide to use hypnotherapy to help yourself change the way you eat, you do need to put some effort in to help yourself. It is always through your own effort that authentic transformation occurs.
Playing the recordings every day will help you change your eating habits. Change can affect your life minimally, or it can make a dramatic difference to your lifestyle and feeling of wellbeing. The important thing is to enter the experience with an open mind and realistic expectations.
