    Hypnosis for therapeutic purposes involves achieving a relaxed state of mind where you are able to tap into your inner strength and potential, so you can take control of your thoughts and focus on what really matters.

    Hypnotherapy creates a focused, energised and powerful context for you to explore, discover and use more of your innate abilities. Hypnosis isn’t the therapy, it’s the vehicle that delivers the message and the treatment. It’s what happens during hypnosis in terms of developing new and helpful associations that have therapeutic power.

    There are no universal scripts because no two people are the same. That’s why I create a tailored and dynamic treatment plan, unique to you, that will be revisited and revised for every session.
