What is Hypnotherapy?

Practitioner : Sheila Levi- Watkins

Hypnosis is the state where the body and mind are in a deep state of relaxation and the mind is focused upon the imagination. All people enter into the hypnotic state several times a day and do not even notice it.

You may be surprised to know that you yourself enter into the hypnotic state several times every single day such as when you watch television or listen to the radio.

How does it work?

Hypnosis works by utilising the powers of suggestion and rapport to enlist the positive healing powers of your subconscious. Your powerful subconscious mind can be empowered to help you move towards potential possibilities of self-development and personal growth.

It uses a safe and naturally occurring state. In the hypnotic state you are always in control of your mind. In reality, the state of hypnosis is simply a special type of deep relaxation to enlist the positive healing forces of your subconscious.

It is a reliable and safe therapeutic technique which is centuries old and is recognised by many branches of orthodox medicine as a valuable alternative to drugs, to accelerate healing and to help relieve pain.

It empowers you to use self-help techniques so that you feel much better.

What is HypnoPsychotherapy?

HypnoPsychotherapy is the practice of Psychotherapy with applied Hypnosis being the primary approach used as a safe and gentle process to help you fully resolve your issues.

Why use HypnoPsychotherapy?

1) If needed, to track back to past events and let go of unnecessary negative feelings & thoughts and to change negative life patterns into positive life patterns.

 2) To learn from and make sense of your experiences of life - the times of great challenge & difficulty and also the times of relative ease & well-being.

3) To guide you to your inner strengths and problem-solving capabilities

4) To leave you with self-help techniques that enable you to help yourself from now on.

5) To help you accept necessary change and personal transformation so that you can live your life in a more constructive and fulfilling way.
