What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis or trance states are naturally occurring states which we all drift in and out of throughout our day.

For example have you ever daydreamed your way through a meeting? or travelled somewhere without remembering much about the journey?

These are trance states, you know what is going on around you whilst being completely relaxed like being in a "daydream".

Studies have shown that we spend 90% of our time in such states.

There is no one definitive explanation of what hypnosis is and it's interesting to note that everybody experiences it in a very different way, but the main feeling everyone experiences is a profound sense of relaxation.

What is Cognitive Hypnotherapy?
Cognitive hypnotherapy is an approach rather than just a set of techniques. It takes recent understandings of how the brain works, uses NLP methods and a modern view of the use of trance to create a combination that can be very effective in a relatively short period of time.

Many problems can be helped in as little as 2-4 sessions.

Cognitive hypnotherapy uses an approach to therapy which is tailored to suit the person.

This is because we are all different and all give different meanings and reasons to the things that happen to us.

My role as the therapist is to act as a guide to help you find your own solutions so that you can take control of your own life once again.
