How can hypnotherapy help you?

Most people know that hypnotherapy could help them quit smoking or address a phobia, but are not aware it could also help them cope with the problems and stresses of every day life.

So what problems can hypnotherapy help you with?

Some of the conditions hypnotherapy can help with are listed below. Please click on the underlined links which will take you to my appropriate web pages for more detailed information.

Stress

Stress takes many forms including loss of appetite, comfort eating, struggling to sleep, not wanting to get up in the morning, worrying about small things and irritability. Everyone faces different stresses in their lives and everyone responds differently. If you feel that stress is getting on top of you then solution focused hypnotherapy can give you valuable time out to calm your mind and find ways to naturally get your life back on track.

Anxiety

A certain amount of anxiety is a good thing; it is natural to be aware of potential threats around you. You need to be vigilant when crossing a road for example. However if anxiety levels become too high they may dominate your life. Hypnotherapy can support you in reducing your anxieties and focusing on the more positive aspects in your life to build your resilience.

Coping with change

Change is an inevitable part of life but it isn’t always easy to come to terms with changes, especially those which are beyond your control such as bereavements, relationship breakdowns and job losses. Hypnotherapy can provide a safe environment to help come to terms with a new reality and move forward in life.

Sleep problems

Not getting enough sleep can have huge repercussions on your waking hours, as well as increasing your likelihood of health problems over time. Hypnotherapy can support you to change patterns of behaviour and provide a natural, relaxing way of help you improve your sleep.

Losing weight

Many people find weight gain goes hand in hand with stress and sleep problems. It is important to focus on weight loss holistically. When you feel better about yourself, feel less stressed and sleep well you are more likely to make positive choices around food. This helps you to lose weight in natural and sustainable way.

I also offer a group programme around losing weight. This comprises 4 sessions focusing on mindset to empower clients to understand and change their habits around eating.

Menopause

Menopause can be a time of upheaval for many women who find their levels of anxiety increase, along with sleep problems, hot flushes and other symptoms. Hypnotherapy can offer a natural way to support women through this change in a holistic way.

Preparing for interviews/public speaking/exams or visiting the dentist

The use of hypnotherapy to empower people before events they are nervous about can be very powerful. If you need to speak at an event and are nervous about it I can work with you to visualise yourself speaking in a positive way. This can build your confidence before an event as you have already practised it successfully in your mind. This technique works well for clients who are preparing for interviews, exams or are anxious about hospital appointments or the dentist.

Phobias

Phobias can develop at any time in our lives. A bad experience (such as a stressful flight or being chased by a dog) can lead to a fear that gets out of control. Phobias can also be learnt if we see people around us having certain fears. I work with clients with phobias over three sessions to reframe their thoughts around the problem.

The list above is by no means conclusive. Hypnotherapy can also support you with fertility issues, IBS, managing long term chronic pain, preparing for childbirth, low mood and improving sports performance.
