Carol Consultancy Hypnotherapy Psychotherapy North Shields

What is Hypnotherapy and how can it help me?
There are a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis and hypnotherapy, often prompted by clients having seen 'stage hypnosis', leading potential clients to feel unnecessarily anxious or confused about what to expect. Hypnosis is a state of profound relaxation that allows your mind, with guidance, to alleviate symptoms, resolve problems and alter unwanted patterns of behaviour. You will not be unconscious, you will not lose control and you cannot be made to do anything that you do not want to do. You will be aware of everything that is happening, and may even feel that your senses are more alert than usual. There is no such thing as a 'hypnotised feeling' - everyone responds differently.

During hypnosis, your eyes may close, but you will remain alert and aware of everything that is said to you. Hypnosis is a two-way activity and requires your cooperation; for hypnosis to be successful, you must expect it to happen, want it to happen and let it happen. Hypnotherapy is a very effective approach to treatment; it is a reliable and safe technique which is centuries old. It is recognised by many branches of orthodox medicine as an effective alternative / complement to drug therapy, to accelerate healing and help combat pain. It can help treat a broad range of physical disorders and is also recognised as an effective treatment for many problems involving psychological factors. Hypnotherapy is also a very effective approach to help build confidence, self esteem and motivation.
