Cognitive Hypnotherapy
What is Cognitive Hypnotherapy?
Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a highly effective and supportive way of unearthing and changing any problem we may be struggling with. Drawing from Positive Psychology, Evolutionary Psychology, Cognitive Theory, NLP and modern hypnosis, my sessions create a supportive new framework that offers a modern, effective and evidence-based therapy. I do not believe in the traditional ‘one size fits all’ model so l tailor each session to each client for the best results. I use hypnosis, also known as trance, to tap into the client’s unconscious mind and find out where the problem, behaviour, thought or emotion originates, and use specific and tailored techniques to let them go. This is done by gently guiding the client into a state of deep relaxation where they are more suggestible and able to make the best possible change. The next step is to instill more positive and healthy beliefs, thoughts and emotions to rewire the brain and create lasting change. As the mind can’t tell the difference between what we imagine and what we actually see and experience, we can use the adaptability of the brain to shift it to our desired way of being. This shift makes way for healthier thoughts, responses and habits which lead to a happier and healthier way of living.
Everyday Trance States
Trance is an everyday occurrence that we go in and out of multiple times each day without realising it. It is this state of trance that we utilise when working with clients to access the unconscious mind and create lasting change. So whether we are watching TV, driving to work or brushing our teeth - we are all in trance states around 90% of the time which means that in those moments, our unconscious mind is driving our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is astonishing that we are only consciously in control 10% of the time. Our unconscious mind always has one goal, to keep us safe, so when a potentially threatening situation arises like giving a talk at work or asking someone on a date, our brain will take us back to all the times we have been in similar situations and how it didn’t go well. Our body and mind then gets hijacked and flooded with cortisol so we avoid the threat. Most negative habits we are struggling with are actually trying to help us and were instilled in our lives during a difficult time when we needed extra support. Our job is to find out where and when these things happened and then rewire your thinking to make positive and healthier thoughts, beliefs and responses. With Cognitive Hypnotherapy and NLP, we are consciously choosing more positive and empowering trance states that lead us to happier and healthier lives.
When we live our lives with freedom, power and confidence, we inspire other people to know they can do the same - what a gift.
Can it work for me?
Hypnotherapy can be used for many different reasons and you may be surprised how much change you can make in just a few sessions. It doesn’t matter what you are struggling with or what you would like to change, Hypnotherapy is incredibly adaptable and can get to the root of the problem.
Investing in yourself is the greatest gift you can give not only to yourself but to your friends, family, colleagues and the world around you. Our lives are ours to live but we can often feel out of control when our systems get hijacked by an external situation and we start to react in ways we cannot understand or control. This leads to a lack of confidence and belief that we can’t make our lives what we want them to be. I am here to say that life doesn’t have to be this way. You deserve to live the life you dream of. You deserve to have a happy and healthy relationship with yourself, your friends, partner and colleagues. You deserve to have a job you love and a life that makes you excited each morning. When we live our lives with freedom, power, calm and confidence, we inspire other people to know they can do the same - what a gift.
