At our practice we provide hypnotherapy treatment for a number of differing issues.
This page will inform you about a selection of the subjects covered. If your needs are not met under these examples, please feel free to call or email us with your enquiry.
Anxiety, Stress or Depression
Many people suffer from depression, anxiety, stress, anger, call it what you will. It can be life restricting and long term but there is no longer a need for anyone to suffer.
Traditional counselling often requires you to talk over and relive traumatic events or experiences that have caused you pain and anxiety. You will get NONE of that with us. We use the latest techniques to focus your attention on the solutions you wish to achieve and to help you change your mindset and lifestyle for the better.
Therapy will usually take between six to twelve sessions and will concentrate on helping you achieve the positive lifestyle which you seek.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Our professional history has brought us into contact with PTSD at numerous levels. We understand the condition all too well and recognise the loneliness that sufferers can experience as a result. The opportunity to help those experiencing PTSD was one of the driving forces behind us starting in practice.
Unfortunately this condition is not limited to those serving in the Armed and Emergency Services. Any trauma can leave its mark. Flashbacks, extreme anxiety and dark thoughts can be experienced by anyone who has experienced trauma, from those who have been abused to those having experienced car accidents. The list is endless.
We have had fantastic success in the treatment of PTSD and are please to know that the lives of many sufferers and their families have improved considerably as a result of our help.
Phobias
A phobia is an unreasonable fear of something and having a phobia can be extremely limiting. There are thousands of recognised phobias (www.phobiaslist.com) but all are treated in exactly the same way.
Whatever your phobic reaction is triggered by, whether it be spiders (arachnephobia), buttons (koumpounophobia), flying (aviophobia), cats (ailurophobia) or anything else, we can help you to overcome it.
You could be rid of that restricting phobia in as little as four sessions.
Weight Management
Why enter into the cycle of Yo-Yo diets? Do you really enjoy drinking gritty shakes instead of eating real food that you enjoy?
With us you will NOT enter into a diet of cardboard crackers and watery substitutes? No points to count. No red or green days when all you want to do is eat what you want to eat.
With us you follow some very simple rules. You eat less because you want to. You feel full and comfortable quicker, negating the need to over eat. No food is banned - it doesn't have to be. You will sensibly decide which foods are good for you and which are not.
This is not a quick fix diet. This is about a lifestyle change over time which will making dietting a thing of the past.
Personal Confidence
That business meeting is looming and you know you have to deliver a presentation.
The partner of your dreams has just accepted your invitation to a meal.
The big reunion is coming up, where you will be surrounded by family strangers!
Your wedding is fast approaching. How will you get through your vows? And what about that speech?
Just the thought of it makes you break into panic!
Hypnotherapy can help you find the resources within yourself to ensure that you not only lose your fears but that you approach any situation calmly with confidence , enjoying every moment as a result.
Exam or Interview Nerves
If any of us go into an interview or examination in a nervous state, we will not perform at all well. In fact, there is no way that we can reach our full potential whilst we are stressed or anxious.
We often hear people say "I got in there and forgot everything!" or "I had it all planned out before I went into the room but then didn't say any of it when they asked me the question!"
Hypnotherapy can help you approach any event in a calm and confident frame of mind, which in turn allows you to remain fully in control. You'll be amazed at the way you can answer questions and engage in discussion as a result.
Sports Confidence
So many sports, games and pastimes are as much about the mindset as they are about the physical skill. If you approach your sport from both the mental and physical dimensions, your performance will be enhanced.
Hypnotherapy helps you to focus on the task at hand, helping you to remain calm and confident whilst under pressure to perform.
Whether you are trying to reduce your golf handicap, run a little further a little faster or just try to get a little more enthusiasm for training; whatever you need to do, we can help.
IBS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be a painful life changing condition. It is never claimed that Hypnotherapy can "cure" IBS, but it is increasingly recognised as one of the most effective treatments of the symptoms.
We recognise that the root cause of IBS is often stress and anxiety. Reduce those - calm the mind and body - and the symptoms become manageable, if not dormant.
Hypnotherapy can help and has allowed many IBS sufferers to regain control of their symptoms enough to enjoy a "normal" lifestyle.
PAIN
Chronic pain is often treated very effectively by Hypnotherapy. Refocusing the mind away from the pain and discomfort can often bring about the change that allows life to return to how it was when pain-free.
Childrens Issues
We have had some remarkable success in the treatment of children. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), Dyslexia, Bullying, Personal Confidence, Exam Stress and other issues have responded well, easing pressures on both the child and their parents.
As a relaxing, non-invasive client focused treatment, hypnotherapy is the perfect therapy for children and young adults.
And More
These are just a few of the areas that can be effectively treated by Hypnotherapy. If your needs are not met by this summary, please feel free to contact us at any time to discuss your own individual requirements.
