As a learned member of the
British Society of Clinical Hyposis, I'm offering one-to-one hypnotherapy sessions. Hypnotherapy is a wonderful modality to access the depths of your subconscious, as well as your Higher Self, to create powerful changes in your mind. My approach is to offer a space and act as a guide - the changes, however, will be coming from you, for we all have somewhere deep within us the wisdom that we need to find out highest path in life.

What is hypnotherapy?
A healing art from the dawn of history
Hypnotherapy, the art of using altered states of consciousness for healing, is as old as history itself:
☼ Neolithic cave paintings, such as found at Lascaux, France and many other parts of the world, show scenes which indicate that those ancient people practiced "journeying," like shamans, who leave their bodies in order to bring healing to their tribal people.
☼ Egyptian papyri report the use of a mental state of focused attention during religious rites, as well as surgical procedure.
☼ The ancient Greeks made extensive use of the healing sleep: in temples, patients laid down to sleep with the intent of receiving hints for their cure from the gods.
☼ Throughout the world, anthropologists have found that over 90% of all indigenous communities use some institutionalised form of altered states of consciousness.

A Key to the Depths of Your Own Mind
Images commonly associated with hypnosis are either swinging pendulums, staring eyes and manipulative stage shows, or ideas of a near-miraculous, all powerful panacea.
Beyond the cliches, however, what makes hypnotherapy invaluable is that it enables access to the unconscious mind: those parts of the psyche which we are not aware of during our every-day functioning, yet where all our beliefs, thoughts and conditionings are stored, which govern our lives.
The unconscious mind can be accessed whenever the mind is relaxed and focused. Therefore, the job of a good hypnotherapist is to help the client reach that state, by using a calm voice withing a relaxing environment, and to teach the client to reach these states themselves whenever they wish.
Once in a relaxed state, the communication with the unconscious mind can begin: the unconscious mind is less linear than our conscious mind, and uses imagery rather than logic. Therefore, creative visualisation is the main tool to access our unconscious programming and to change those programs which no longer work for us. In order to communicate effectively, we need to be aware that the mind is governed by certain laws, the most important of which are:

Therefore, creative visualisation is the main tool to access our unconscious programming and to change those programs which no longer work for us. In order to communicate effectively, we need to be aware that the mind is governed by certain laws, the most important of which are:
The Three Laws of Suggestion
1. The Law of Concentrated Attention. Whatever the unconscious mind is concentrated upon, will lead to the idea spontaneously realising itself. If we hold an idea long with the power of visualisation, our unconscious will rearrange everything to realise that idea (like a computer4 which runs a program). Those, who are aware of this law, can make it work to their huge personal benefit as well as the benefit of others. Those, who are unaware of the workings of this law, might be trapped by it, because the language of the unconscious does not know negation. (An example: if someone tells us not to think of a pink elephant, we will inevitably think of a pink elephant. Therefore, if we think of what we do not want, that also acts as unconscious programming, as a result of which we attract exacly the unwanted thing into our lives.) If we do not want something, we have to begin to visualise what we want instead.
2. The Law of Reversed Effect. The harder you try to concentrate on doing something that is governed by the unconscious mind, the more difficult it becomes. (For example: the harder an insomniac tries to fall asleep the harder it becomes.) This is the reason why all effective hypnotherapy and visualisation begins by relaxing the mind, releasing all tension and stressful expectations.
3. The Law of Dominant Effect. Finally, this third law states that the stronger emotion always replaces the weeker one. This sounds like an obvious statement, but how often are we using it? The "trick" for instance to overcoming any bad habit is to create a stronger emotion to anything that cancels out the habit than.

Hypnotherapy as Tool
Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to access deep layers of the mind and hidden realms of the psyche. It facilitates changes in thought, behaviour and habits on the same level where these thoughts, behavioural patterns and habits originate from: the unconscious mind.
In a hypnotherapy session you can expect to feel relaxed and calm, and have some time for yourself.
Hypnotherapy is safe: You cannot be hypnotised into anything which you resist, but there will be changes which you desire.
