What hypnotherapy is
A recognised technique, not a stage trick
Hypnotherapy is a guided, focused state of relaxed attention, used alongside evidence-based talk therapy, never instead of it. It is not stage hypnosis, and you remain aware and in control throughout.
It is used to reach patterns, fears, or blocks that sometimes sit beneath what talk therapy alone can reach, particularly when something keeps resurfacing despite other approaches.
A session, step by step
What a session actually involves
Your first session is a conversation, not a hypnosis session. We talk through what you're dealing with, what you've already tried, and whether hypnotherapy is a genuine fit for what you need.
If it is, sessions involve:
A calm, guided relaxation process, fully explained beforehand
You remaining aware and in control at every point
A structured approach, built around your specific situation, not a script
Techniques drawn from Academy of Hypnosis recognised training
Setting the record straight
Common misconceptions
“I'll lose control or say things I don't mean.”
You remain aware throughout. Hypnotherapy is a state of focused relaxation, not unconsciousness.
“It's a stage trick.”
Clinical hypnotherapy has no connection to stage or entertainment hypnosis. It is a structured therapeutic technique.
“It works instantly, for everything.”
Like any therapeutic approach, results build over sessions and depend on the individual. We will give you a realistic sense of what to expect after your first session, not a guarantee.
Is this for you
Who hypnotherapy may help
- Fears and blocks that haven't responded fully to talk therapy alone
- Anxiety and panic, alongside CBT-based work
- Sleep difficulties linked to racing thoughts
- Deep-rooted patterns that keep repeating despite other work
Hypnotherapy is a complement to psychological care, not a replacement for it. Where something needs medical evaluation, for example a physical health concern or a condition requiring psychiatric care, we will always say so and point you toward the right professional.
