photograph of hypnotherapist and subjectA hypnotic state occurs normally in everyone when certain physiological and psychological conditions are met and with the assistance of a skilled hypnotherapist it's possible to use this state to make deep and lasting changes to thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Our promise is to ensure you receive the best possible treatment from therapists armed with the latest techniques in modern hypnotherapy. Search the online database or ask for further advise.
Hypnotherapy is a valuable therapy with which to release past trauma and decondition established habits. Even though our personal unconscious only ever seeks to promote our well being it can often be the seat of faulty learning from our childhood, leading to low self esteem, under achievement and sometimes worse. Often it attempts to protect us by raising our fears and anxieties to phobic levels to keep us from a particular activity or stimulus it sees as dangerous. Utilising hypnosis in therapy often facilitates an unconscious relearning process.

Photograph of t. Connelly and Greg KnightOur ongoing efforts to establish essential regulation within the field of clinical hypnotherapy takes many forms. From petitioning the House of Commons, communication with the Department of Health and maintaining a public help line."It is vitally important that norms are established for the correct training and independent examination of hypnotherapists in a system where anyone can claim to be a hypnotherapist, whether trained or not or examined or not."
