Hypnotism has been practised in a variety of forms by cultures dating back to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks.   Hypnotherapy is a far cry from the Hypnotist stage acts which have perhaps taken some of the credibility away from Hypnotherapy as an extremely valid complementary therapy.

Hypnotherapists work using a trance like state somewhere between sleep and alertness.   It allows you to access the unconscious mind to enable you to react differently to situations and emotions.  It strengthens the ability to relax and can help with dealing with events in the past that are still having a detrimental impact on the present.

A hypnotherapist will help you find the answers to problems by helping you to access your unconscious mind helping you to cope with life problems from your own personal resources.  It is particularly useful for stress, anxiety related conditions, phobias, insomnia, depression, lack of confidence, self esteem, pain management and addictive behaviours.

A hypnotherapy practitioner will take details of your problem, explain the process and then gently relax you in stages; hypnosis is pleasant and relaxing with uplifting effects
