Hypnosis is a natural brain state that we are in everyday, while we are daydreaming, driving, reading a book or watching TV.
Hypnosis is used by hypnotherapists to affect change. In this relaxed state the subconscious mind accepts specific suggestions and positive messages that have therapeutic value.
Often likened to that of daydreaming or the period in which you are lucid. You may just feel extremely relaxed in which the conscious mind will become very comfortably and effortlessly distracted, so positive suggestions can be incorporated to the subconscious.
People are often surprised or even disappointed at how natural they feel in hypnosis, and reactions such as this arise because hypnosis is a natural mind state and contrary to belief, you will not be asleep but in a relaxed state where you often experience heightened mental acuity, focus and be more aware.
All hypnotherapy sessions are co-managed between therapist and client. The role of the Hypnotherapist is to assist the client to go into this natural altered state of awareness, and using the appropriate skills to bring about a positive therapeutic change, aided by the client’s willingness, imagination and co-operation to bring such changes into effect - The Hypnotherapist purely acts as a facilitator for change.

Yes. It's a completely natural brain state; in fact we are in a trance- like state about seven or eight times each day. No one can be hypnotised against their will, you will not lose control at any time as hypnosis is simply a focus and any suggestions made whilst under hypnosis can be rejected if they are not wanted or inappropriate.
Sessions last an hour and commence with a free initial consultation followed by an average of three to five sessions for many problems for positive results to be realised. Clients suffering from depression and anxiety related problems might feel relief after approx eight to twelve sessions. Smoking is covered in one session lasting up to two hours. The above is a guideline, as individuals will often work towards their goals at their own pace.
Hypnosis can work for anyone who is a willing participant in the process and who wants to make the necessary changes to enhance their lives .
