What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person loses the power of voluntary action and is especially responsive to suggestion or direction.

The word hypnosis is used to describe the purposeful induction of a trance like state. However, we all go in and out of mild “trances” or hypnosis-type states every day; those moments when our minds wander and we daydream, even simply sitting down to watch television, we give it our our attention and enter a trance-like or hypnosis-like state. These states are all natural and safe. The idea of hypnosis is simply to put you into one of these mild “trance” states purposefully – with the aim of sending powerful hypnotic suggestions to help you change your life.
Far from being asleep or unaware, hypnosis is actually a heightened state of awareness in which you are deeply relaxed and are open to suggestion. Because of this heightened state of awareness hypnosis may be used to attempt to make changes within your subconscious mind which will change your behaviour patterns and your thinking about yourself. Hypnosis is an approach used to try and minimize the unwanted traits that sometimes prevent personal growth and development.
What can hypnosis be used for?
Well, it’s almost a case of what can’t hypnosis be used for. Hypnosis is widely used for the treatment and elimination of almost any adverse beliefs and thinking errors. It is used to help a wide range of health problems, and is demonstrated to be effective for issues including self esteem and confidence as well as supporting people changing habitual behaviours such as smoking. Hypnosis doesn’t work for all people. It is a subjective experience and results do vary.Trying out these approaches for yourself can give you a better indication of whether or not it is likely to be a useful approach to help you.
