Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses guided attention and deep relaxation to support focused therapeutic work. In this state, the mind can become more receptive to reflection, imagery, and suggestion, allowing access to patterns and responses that may sit outside everyday awareness.

Hypnotherapy is not about losing control or being made to do anything against your will. Instead, it is a collaborative process in which you remain fully aware and in control, using a relaxed and attentive state to support change, insight, and emotional wellbeing.

This approach may be helpful if you…

• Feel stuck in habits, patterns, or responses you want to change

• Experience anxiety, stress, or difficulty switching off

• Want to build confidence or develop a more positive self-relationship

• Are interested in working with imagery and the subconscious mind

• Prefer an approach that does not rely solely on talking

What sessions are like

Hypnotherapy sessions usually begin with conversation and agreement about what you would like to focus on. Your therapist will then guide you into a relaxed, attentive state, using gentle language and imagery suited to you.

While in this state, therapeutic suggestions, reflection, or imagery may be used to support insight and change. Sessions are paced carefully, and you can stop or adjust the process at any time. Many people find the experience calming and grounding.

Who this service is for

Hypnotherapy is offered to adults, and may also be suitable for older adolescents depending on the clinician. Sessions can take place in person or online.
