We all experience hypnotic states of mind on a regular basis, perhaps when we’re daydreaming, or on "automatic pilot" whilst driving a very familiar route.

• Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed and focused state.

• Hypnotherapy gets you in contact with your own strengths and resources.

• You remain conscious, comfortable and aware throughout.

• Overcoming problems and achieving what you want becomes much easier.

Your Hypnotherapy session can be taped, so that you can practise listening to it regularly to reinforce the changes you are making.

Everyone has different ways of thinking about the world; some of these ways are useful and others are more limiting. For instance, what one person may view as a disaster, another might see as a challenge. With N.L.P. you can:

• Find more helpful ways of thinking about yourself, your relationships and your experiences, both past and present.

• Discover really effective techniques for producing lasting changes in your behaviour.

• Adust your body language, breathing and posture, so you feel better, and others respond to you more positively.

This therapy has its roots in Eastern medicine and has been described as “acupuncture without needles”. Like acupuncture, it works on emotional and physical problems by stimulating and correcting the flow of energy in the body. Unlike acupuncture, the energy points or “meridians” are tapped or pressed by you, instead of being stimulated by a practitioner with needles.

• A gentle but powerful and easily learned technique.

• Offers rapid and long-lasting relief from a variety of emotional and physical problems.

• Assists with skills development by removing “blocks” to success.

• You can be taught to use the technique in a single session.

Many people are surprised to learn that what we eat and drink, and when we do so, can have a major impact on how we feel. By making some simple adjustments to your eating patterns, you can easily and naturally:

• Decrease stress

• Lift your mood

• Eliminate cravings

• Regulate your weight

• Increase your energy

All these therapies can be used singly or in combination, in each session.
