What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention  & deep relaxation, allowing the mind & body to become more receptive to positive therapeutic change.

Most people experience hypnotic states regularly in everyday life, while daydreaming, becoming absorbed in a book or film, driving automatically, or drifting between wakefulness and sleep.

Common Questions About Hypnosis

Are You Asleep During Hypnosis?

No. You remain aware throughout the session.

Many people feel deeply relaxed, but you can hear, think, speak, and respond normally.

Can Someone Control You?

No.

You remain fully in control during hypnosis and cannot be made to do anything against your values or wishes.

Therapeutic hypnosis is collaborative and respectful.

Can Everyone Be Hypnotised?

Most people can experience hypnosis to some degree if they are willing to engage with the process and follow simple guidance.

Is Hypnosis Safe?

When practised appropriately within a professional therapeutic setting, hypnosis is generally considered safe and non-invasive.

Facts about Hypnosis

During hypnosis:

• You remain aware and conscious
• You can remember the session
• You can speak or stop at any time
• You remain in control throughout
• You only accept suggestions aligned with your values

Hypnosis is best understood as a focused state of attention combined with deep relaxation.

• You are not asleep; you are always conscious!
• We use the word sleep. That does not mean you go to sleep; it's just a very deep relaxation of the nervous system.
• Hypnosis is an art, science, and practice that enables you to access your subconscious mind.

From its earliest days, hypnosis has been used as an amazing tool to facilitate change, healing, and self-improvement. Unfortunately, stage hypnosis often creates the false impression that the participants are under the control of the hypnotist. In reality, those on stage want to be part of the show and will follow through with hypnotic suggestions as part of the game plan.

Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years. There is a great deal of evidence to support the belief that the Ancient Greeks and Romans used hypnosis for therapeutic benefit as far back as about the fourth Century BC.

Types of Hypnotherapy

Suggestion Hypnotherapy

Suggestion-based hypnotherapy focuses on reinforcing healthier emotional and behavioural responses.

It may be used to support:

• Confidence building
• Smoking cessation
• Sleep support
• Exam or interview nerves
• Public speaking anxiety
• Habit change
• Relaxation and stress reduction

Some clients experience positive shifts within a relatively short number of sessions.

Hypnosis has become so popular that it goes under many different names, such as relaxation therapy, meditation, reframing, guided imagery, and visualization, and is gaining more and more credibility.

Analytical Hypnotherapy

Analytical hypnotherapy explores deeper emotional patterns and unconscious associations that may contribute to ongoing difficulties.

This approach may be helpful when:

• Stress patterns feel deeply rooted
• Emotional reactions feel difficult to explain
• Previous approaches have not helped fully
• Long-standing fears or emotional blocks exist

Sessions are always paced carefully within a trauma-aware and supportive framework.

Hypnosis & Relaxation

Many people seek hypnotherapy because chronic stress keeps the nervous system in a heightened state of tension.

Hypnosis may help:

• Slow mental overactivity
• Reduce physical tension
• Improve relaxation capacity
• Support emotional steadiness
• Improve sleep quality
• Increase feelings of calm and clarity

Clients often describe sessions as mentally refreshing and deeply restorative.
