Menopause relief

Hypnotherapy can teach women how to regain control over their body, to reduce the hot flushes, to tackle insomnia, to relax and to reduce stress and anxiety.

Working on areas such as simple breathing techniques, we can challenge the stress response that makes an impending hot flush worse and can even stop it in its tracks.

Research has shown that once-weekly sessions of hypnosis, with women also practising at home, can help the women to reduce hot flushes by 70 per cent after just five weeks, reducing both the frequency and the intensity of the flushing. Women taking part in this research also reported being ‘highly satisfied’ with the treatment, scoring it more than 9 out of 10

pain manangement

One of the problems with chronic pain management is that the brain becomes accustomed to the pain-killing drugs you come to reply upon, meaning you need higher and higher doses. Hypnosis works in a different way, causing the brain to stop responding to pain signals.

After learning and putting into practice hypnosis techniques for pain management, you can then use them yourself whenever you need them. Many people quickly grasp the techniques and gain relief from the start, and find them highly effective.

weight control

Hypnosis may be more effective than diet and exercise alone for people looking to lose weight. The idea is that the mind can be influenced to change habits like overeating.

Weight loss hypnotherapy is used in a range of weight related treatments such as binge eating and bulimia, but also helps treat trigger symptoms such as anxiety.

The power of hypnotherapy will enable you to work towards choosing the right foods upfront, not relying on fad diets, binge eating or relying on sweet or take away food meals.

Gastric band hypnotherapy is a technique used to help you lose weight. Using this technique, a hypnotherapist suggests to your subconscious that you have had a gastric band fitted around your stomach.

This has been found to be highly effective, in enabling you to gain control over feelings of hunger, restricting portion size and making the choices that are best for you and your body.

Exam stress can literally paralyze a student and even keep them from getting the grades for which they have studied, with anxiety wrecking the student’s ability to achieve their best performance.

Stress can be an unnoticed and gradual build up of many pressures and, while many of us are able to cope with big issues like exams, for some they are too demanding or combined with everything else going on, they can become overwhelming, resulting in stress and anxiety.

After sessions with a hypnotherapist you may feel more confident; more relaxed in situations that have previously challenged you. Many people say that they are calmer and that they have more clarity of thought – able to make decisions more easily.

Nerves surrounding driving, or taking the driving test can be a huge problem, preventing learners from passing their test.

Hypnotherapy can help you by reframing the thoughts you experience, for example, you can work on virtually taking your driving test in such a convincing and realistic manner that a part of your brain will respond as if you have already faced that situation with complete control.

Hypnosis can help your unconscious mind generate healthy alternative behaviours which you will then carry out automatically. Your hypnosis sessions will reprogram your unconscious mind to produce the same positive intentions that you believe cigarettes have given you, but in far healthier and normal ways. (The human body was never designed to smoke, thus it is not ‘normal’ behaviour).

Smoking is a habit, and habits can be successfully altered with hypnosis, when other methods may have been tried and failed.

Hypnotherapy helps us to access the subconscious mind, and in doing so, we can start to address unresolved issues, attitudes and beliefs which may be causing underlying feelings of loss or emptiness.

It can also help to reframe negative thoughts and behaviour patterns into positive experiences, and helps us prepare and feel ready to face future situations.

Anxiety sufferers know that quality of life can be massively affected, meaning the person employs avoidance techniques, and left untreated and untackled, can lead to isolation and depression.

Hypnotherapy can help sufferers by improving confidence, finding and putting in place coping techniques, and changing the person’s outlook, meaning they can cope with everyday situations much more easily.

Panic attacks can feel life threatening, and although the issues and triggers are pyschological, the effects can manifest physically too. They are a terrifying experience for sufferers, who will often avoid situations which may have triggered an attach in the past.

Through hypnotherapy, we look at helping the person to be able to face up to the causes, and reduce the severity and frequency, with the goal of eradicating the attacks, instead allowing the sufferer to have a much more positive outlook.

Empty Nest Syndrome is something which parents and carers feel when children leave home, and it can be a heart wrenching time for parents. The shock of being around their child for 18 years, and then have an empty house can feel devastating.

Although no one has died the same symptoms of grief and heartache are very much felt particularly within a loving family.

Hypnotherapy helps by tackling the anxiety and depression associated with Empty Nest Syndrome.

Loss of a loved one, either through a relationship breakdown, or through a loved one passing away, can be so hard to deal with.

Grief is a very real condition, and one which there is no instruction book for, however, hypnotherapy can help by teaching the brain and subconscious mind to focus on the good, and the positive memories, rather than focusing on the grief being felt.

No-one is a born with a phobia, they exist in our subconscious and are learned responses. This makes the people experiencing then particularly vulnerable to hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy can help people to unlearn their fear responses, building up their exposure to the phobia and in time ease the resulting anxiety too.

When drugs, alcohol, gambling .. or any other addiction becomes a problem, it is usually because the person in question turns to something as a coping mechanism, using them in an attempt to cope with difficult emotions. Addictions bring their own set of problems, often leaving the user trapped in a cycle of drug abuse, trying to quit and then relapsing.

Hypnotherapy helps the brain to relearn healthier copy strategies, and unlearn the unwanted behaviours of turning to whatever the addiction is for.
