Healing by trance state has been acknowledged for centuries and 
              has been observed, in one form or another, in virtually every culture through-
              out the world.

                           "Hypnosis is a state of mind, enhanced by (although not exclusively)
              mental and physical relaxation, in which our subconscious is able to communi-
              cate with our conscious mind." This state of mind may be brought about either
              by oneself unaided (self-hypnosis) or with the help of another person. If this
              other person is a trained professional, who utlises the resultant state to
              encourage beneficial change to occur, the process is referred to as
              Hypnotherapy.

           What happens during a session?

                             In a typical session, we will begin by spending a few minutes
              discussing your reasons for coming. After being able to identify your skills
              and resources that you can draw upon, we then move toward the induction-
              the practice of relaxing our restless thinking minds allowing a deep state
              of inner peace and awareness using gentle body relaxation and visualsation
              techniques.
 
                             In this hypnotic state there is a hyper-awareness and receptivity
              where the mind is open for suggestions to help bring about the change you
              are looking for.
                                  

           Who may benefit from Hypnotherapy?

                             The answer to this question is "virtually everyone". Given that
               hypnotherapy can be utilised to access a person's inner potential and
               that probably no one is performing to their actual potential, then this
               answer is literally true.

                             However, it is not just potential which Hypnotherapy is
               well placed to address but also one's inner resources to effect benefial
               change.
                              In this regard, it is the innate healing capacity of our own
               body that may be stimulated by Hypnotherapy. Consequently, the list
               of issues which may be amenable to Hypnotherapy is far too long and
               varied but certainly includes:
 
                               · anxiety
                               · panic attacks
                               · phobias
                               · unwanted habits and addictions
                               · disrupted sleep patterns
                               · lack of confidence and low self-esteem
                               · fear of examintations
                               · fear of public speaking
                               · allergies and skin disorders
                               · migraine
                               · irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
                               · surgery
                               · pain management
                               · sporting & artistic performance enhancement
                               · relationship difficulties
                               · anger management
                                                          
               

          Some Common Concerns

                               Clients are sometimes concerned that they will 'lose control'
              in hypnosis. However, general concensus indicates that regardless of how
              deeply people may go into trance and however passive they may appear
              to be, they actually remain in full control of the situation.
