Frequently Asked Questions


Hypnotherapy


What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a skilled communication aimed at directing a person’s imagination in a way that helps elicit changes in some perceptions, sensations, feelings, thoughts and behaviours.

In a typical hypnotherapy session the hypnotherapist and client will discuss the intended alterations or therapeutic goals desired. The hypnotherapist will ask questions about previous medical history, general health and lifestyle to decide on the best approach for the individual.

Hypnotherapy may be found to be helpful for those seeking relief from a range of problems and is used alongside a person’s own willpower and motivation to seek a desired goal. It is often used to help relieve anxiety, aid sleeping, help to address bedwetting, address attitudes to weight, and help clients achieve behavioural change to stop smoking. It may also help with minor skin conditions that are exacerbated by stress and confidence issues, and may also be used to enhance performance in areas such as sport and public speaking. Hypnotherapy may help people to cope with and manage the relief of perceived pain.

Hypnotherapy has also been used with both adults and children to help manage the pain associated with irritable bowel. There is evidence to support its use in this condition for both adults and children and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Guidance (NICE) recommends the NHS should consider referring patients for hypnotherapy if their irritable bowel is persistent and has failed to respond to simple prescribed medicine.


Will I be asleep?

No, you will experience a deep state of relaxation, similar to that achieved through meditation. In this relaxed and receptive state, you will allow your conscious mind to rest and your subconscious mind to be alert and responsive. You will be aware and in control of everything that is happening.


How many sessions will I need?

Your sessions will be tailored to your specific needs. For some, 1-3 sessions may be sufficient, while others may prefer a longer course of support.


What should I wear?

Most people prefer to wear comfortable clothing for their session. If you wear contact lenses, you may want to bring your case so that you can remove them, as your eyes will be closed for approximately 30 minutes.



Mindfulness


What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness involves focusing on the present moment, paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations with acceptance and without judgment. It encourages awareness of the here and now, promoting a sense of calm and clarity.


Where did mindfulness originate from?

Mindfulness originated from Buddhist meditation practices, but modern research has made it accessible to a wider audience. Today, it is commonly used as a tool for improving well-being and mental clarity. Mindfulness is often incorporated into pain management programs as a way to help individuals manage discomfort and improve their overall well-being.


What are the potential benefits of practising mindfulness?

Scientific studies suggest that regular mindfulness practice may help reduce stress, lower anxiety and depression, improve memory and decision-making, and enhance overall well-being.


How does mindfulness affect the brain?

Research suggests that mindfulness practice may increase grey matter in the brain's frontal cortex, which could improve awareness, attention, and decision-making. It may also help reduce the size of the amygdala, a region associated with stress and fear responses.


Is mindfulness just about meditation?

Mindfulness is more than just meditation—it’s also about bringing awareness to everyday moments. This could mean focusing on the sensations you experience while eating, walking, or simply noticing the world around you. By incorporating mindfulness into daily life, you may find yourself feeling more present, calm, and grounded.


What can I expect at a session?

After your initial assessment, we'll work together on tailored mindfulness exercises, meditation techniques, and practical strategies to help you incorporate mindfulness into your everyday life.
