Hypnotherapy is a therapy that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to create a heightened state of awareness. With your consent and choice in this relaxed state, you are more receptive to positive suggestions that help address issues such as anxiety, stress, habits, fears, sleep problems, confidence. You will remain aware and in control throughout the process.

What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy helps a person access a deep, relaxed state often called a hypnotic trance. Despite popular misconceptions, hypnosis is not mind control or unconsciousness. During hypnotherapy, you remain aware of your surroundings and cannot be forced to do anything against your will.
How does it work?
A hypnotherapist helps you enter a deeply relaxed state where your attention is more focused and you may be more open to exploring thoughts, feelings, memories, and behaviors. In this state, therapeutic suggestions and techniques can be used to help create positive changes.
It’s a bit like a guided meditation or visualisation.
