About Hypnotherapy

Clinical hypnosis or 'hypnotherapy' bears little resemblance to the antics of the stage hypnotist we have all seen on television or at a show. Hypnotherapists do not have the ability to assert any kind of control over their clients ( nor would they want to ) and could not force anyone to strut around like a chicken - unless the client had a particular desire to do so!

Hypnotherapy is an extremely safe and relaxing experience with tailor-made sessions to address even the most complex, individual problems. During such treatment the client remains completely aware of what is happening of the suggestions being offered by the therapist and, more importantly, the implications of such suggestions. Best results are achieved in an atmosphere of trust and relaxation so it is incumbent on the hypnotist to fully explain the process of hypnosis, outline the methods used and ensure that the client feels relaxed and confident before entering an hypnotic trance.

It is important to note that the client always remains in control and can come out of the trance at any time.
