A Few Questions Answered

Firstly, let me tell you what hypnosis is NOT, as I find many people come for therapy having seen stage hypnotists in action and expect to lose control in some way.  Nothing could be further from the truth:

Hypnosis, in fact, is a perfectly natural and pleasant state of relaxation and inner awareness - almost without exception you feel calm, peaceful and relaxed whilst you are being hypnotised.

Will I know what is going on?

Yes - you are in control and aware of everything that is happening around you.  Hypnosis is a positive state of relaxed wakefulness.

The therapy that takes place to help alleviate your problems can take a variety of forms.  Sometimes hypnotic suggestions are used to re-programme the sub-conscious mind - the inner mind which we access when we relax a little.  Using regression it is possible to uncover the cause of the issue which can then be released permanently.  Often the therapist uses visualisations or other techniques to heal the issues you are working on.  I also use a very new technique - EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) - to clear negative feelings quickly and deeply.

What is the success rate?

Very good when you consider that most hypnotherapists are working privately, often dealing with other practitioners' failures, and have to be successful to survive.  One of the most important things is that you feel comfortable and at ease with your therapist.  This is of particular importance in hypnotherapy, in which the value of the treatment is enhanced when you have confidence in the practitioner.  For this reason it is recommended that you book a single session at first and then decide if you want to proceed with more.

Some people require only a few sessions, whereas others may need a course of therapy.  However, at no time will you undertake a prolonged course once your treatment is successful.  The beauty of hypnotherapy is that if it doesn't work it doesn't work quickly - I can usually tell within a short time whether I can help or not with your problem.

My guarantee is my honesty - I always say I have a 'no bullshit clause' in my work and if I can't help I will say so.  This, together with my high success rate, is probably the reason I receive so many referrals from ex-clients and GP's.  Anti-smoking therapy usually consists of one session.

What are the U.K.G.H.E. and the N.C.H.?

The initials stand for the "UK Guild of Hypnotist Examiners" and "The National Council for Hypnotherapy".  These prestigious bodies exist to protect both the patient and the therapist.  No therapist can be accepted by these institutions unless he or she can conform to the exacting standards laid down by them.  In this way the patient is assured of the best attention while being treated by the practitioner.  All members are bound by a Code of Ethics emphasising integrity and competence, ensuring a high standard of ethical conduct.
