Further information

Hypnosis is a safe, natural process; infact all hypnosis is self-hypnosis! You are already well practised in using your imagination to recall events/facts from the past or to imagine the future. Your imagination (housed in your subconscious mind) works in tandem with your conscious mind to make sense of the world around you.

Hypnosis on its own is a very relaxing process and can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting improved sleep and well-being.

In order to make bigger, long-lasting changes, hypnotherapy 'tools' or techniques are offered during the state of hypnosis. This can occur because it has been discovered that the subconscious is more open to make beneficial changes when you are mentally and physically relaxed. You remain in control at all times and cannot be made to do or accept anything that does not correlate with your belief system.

So, if you are ready for positive change, please contact me, and embark on a journey to a happier, healthier and brighter future.
