Hypnotherapy is a skilled communication aimed at directing a person’s imagination in a way that helps elicit changes in some perceptions, sensations, feelings, thoughts and behaviours.
In a typical hypnotherapy session the hypnotherapist and client will discuss the intended alterations or therapeutic goals desired. The hypnotherapist will ask questions about previous medical history, general health and lifestyle to decide on the best approach for the individual.
Hypnotherapy may be found to be helpful for those seeking relief from a range of problems and is used alongside a person’s own willpower and motivation to seek a desired goal. It is often used to help relieve anxiety, aid sleeping, help to address bedwetting, address attitudes to weight, and help clients achieve behavioural change to stop smoking. It may also help with minor skin conditions that are exacerbated by stress and confidence issues, and may also be used to enhance performance in areas such as sport and public speaking. Hypnotherapy may help people to cope with and manage the relief of perceived pain.
Hypnotherapy has also been used with both adults and children to help manage the pain associated with irritable bowel. There is evidence to support its use in this condition for both adults and children and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Guidance (NICE) recommends the NHS should consider referring patients for hypnotherapy if their irritable bowel is persistent and has failed to respond to simple prescribed medicine.
The difference is not only 25 years experience with working with thousands of clients with these problems and training hundreds of therapists how to deal with these problems but also a wide range of supporting specialist therapeutic methods to effectively do the important ‘therapy’ part of the hypnotherapy. I have also worked with and been recommended by the worlds’ leading hypnotherapists Paul McKenna and Dr Richard Bandler, so I have strong credentials in both the hypnosis and therapy parts of my work.
This style of therapy is suited to regular one hour consultations until the problem is resolved. Most sessions will involve hypnosis. Hypnotherapy is most suited to one to one consultations at my private clinic in Norwich.
For those wanting a fast track programme that integrates the full range of specialist therapies that I specialise in, including hypnotherapy, then consider my flagship ‘Freedom Formula’ intensive four session therapy programme.
