What is hypnosis?  Hypnosis is a safe and natural state of mind which can assist you in overcoming a number of problems that are stopping you living your life the way you want to live it.   Most of us enter into hypnosis a number of times a day without consciously being aware of it.  You are completely in control the whole time and you will be aware of everything that is going on around you. Clinical hypnosis is nothing like stage hypnosis and you will not be asked, nor would you be willing, to do or say anything that you would not naturally feel comfortable with.  There is no such thing as a 'hypnotised feeling' however, different people can experience hypnosis in different ways such as feeling quite heavy or feeling as if they are floating or some people feel no different at all during the session.  Once the body and mind are sufficiently relaxed, the subconscious comes to the fore and becomes open to positive suggestion.  In order for you to relax your mind and body it is important you feel comfortable with the Hypnotherapist.  For this reason, I offer a free initial consultation which also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions.  To find out more about hypnosis please click here.

Hypnotherapy is a Complementary Therapy and full client commitment is essential. Hypnotherapy can help with a number of challenges, some of which are listed under Treatments below.  Some of these issues require just a single session and some may require more than one. During the consultation, I will be able to give you a rough guide as to how many sessions will be needed. I also offer the Virtual Gastric Band program as detailed below.

Virtual Gastric Band Procedure  This is a 6 session program designed to change the way you think and feel about food and exercise, enabling you to reduce your size and weight, whilst remaining in complete control.  As this is not a diet, you can still choose what you eat but your stomach will feel fuller quicker and you will therefore, feel satisfied with smaller amounts of food.  A free one-hour consultation is essential, where I would  then recommend you think about it and maybe talk it over with someone before deciding if this is the right way forward for you. If you decide to proceed, it is standard practice for me to contact your GP to inform them of this treatment. 

The program is carried out both in and out of hypnosis with 5 of the 6 sessions each being 1.5 - 2 hours long.  The session where the 'Gastric Band' is 'fitted' takes one-hour. This is a one-to-one program and is tailored to suit each client's individual needs.  This is not a 'miracle cure' and full client commitment is essential. 

If the Virtual Gastric Band is not for you, there are other programs available using different techniques in Hypnotherapy, which may suit your needs better.  A free consultation is recommended to discuss all other options.

Smoking Cessation  This program is aimed at people who want to quit smoking for themselves, as opposed to quitting solely for someone else.  Motivation plays a huge part in this program and full client commitment is therefore essential.  Usually just one session is sufficient and this is 1.5 - 2 hours long.

THERAPY FEES
The cost of treatment varies depending on how many sessions are required and the nature of the problems presented.  Once full details have been established during the consultation, I will then be able to confirm the exact session price and a rough guide as to how many sessions of therapy will be required.  Single sessions are 50 minutes unless otherwise stated.
