Hypnotherapy can help with
ANXIETY
Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed and finding it difficult to cope at times? Are you constantly worrying about what other people are thinking?
You are not alone. Anxiety is a very common condition. In any given week, 6 in 100 people will be diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder (GAD). In essence it’s the body's natural response to when we feel at risk in some way but sometimes, we overreact. Symptoms can vary from feeling on edge to experiencing the debilitating effects of a panic attack.
Hypnosis may help to recognise what triggers these unwanted thoughts that stimulate unpleasant feelings within the body and how to respond in a positive and productive way. Hypnotherapy offers well tried and tested techniques and tools to and learn how to stay focused, relaxed, happy to help create 'A New You.'
LONE MALE PARENTS
Gaining confidence and support in your ability as a parent and becoming the best possible version of yourself. Develop strong communication skills.
PTSD
Most people will experience a traumatic event at some point in their lives. The response to this is the fight, flight, freeze and our stress hormones increase. Once the danger has passed the stress hormones reduce to normal functioning levels. This does not happen with someone experiencing PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Past traumas affect our ability to function and to maintain a healthy life. Hypnotherapy helps to identify triggers that can cause anxiety and can help to introduce new habits that will promote healthy behaviour and reduce the fight, flight, fear response.
PAIN CONTROL
When the body is in trauma or extremely tensed and unable to relax fully it begins to experience pain. Hypnotherapy may help to ease symptoms of pain during childbirth, of those experiencing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and receiving Cancer treatments. When the muscles in the body are relaxed, it naturally produces endorphins which help to reduce and in some cases, eliminate pain.
INSOMNIA
Hypnotherapy can be used to assist you in improving sleep. Poor sleep and interrupted sleeping patterns may affect concentration and performance, both within work and at home. This is often exacerbated by worrying that you are not going to get enough sleep. You may wake up feeling utterly exhausted. Sleeplessness may affect your relationships making you feel overwhelmed, anxious and irritable. You might feel simply that you are not yourself and this may be a concern for you. Sleep deprivation may become an unwanted habit.
During a hypnotherapy session the aim is to learn to reduce stimuli prior to sleeping and encouraging better mental habits which are conducive to sleep. The quality of sleep should naturally improve by employing some very simple changes.
CONFIDENCE
Hypnotherapy may help with low self-esteem. Lacking confidence and not feeling good enough can really affect the way that you view yourself and prevent you from achieving your goals. Focusing on what you love and appreciate is really empowering and will give you the confidence to overcome obstacles. Hypnotherapy helps you to develop exciting new ways to see challenges in life and overcome them.
BODY IMAGE
At some point during our lives we will all experience some dissatisfaction with the way we look. It’s unfortunate that there is so much unwanted attention and preoccupation around this particularly in social media. You may be lacking confidence and not feeling in control. Hypnotherapy may help to identify the root causes and reduce the anxiety surrounding body image, helping you to break through inappropriate habits and behaviours and begin to really appreciate yourself. 'You are enough'.
SMOKING CESSATION
Kicking the smoking habit can seem really difficult and is perpetuated when in the past we have tried and failed to give up. This may cause a sense of shame and disappointment. The biggest challenge is being ready. If you are not ready then it’s easy to relapse, a negative cycle is established and it becomes difficult to stop. You are more likely to succeed when you are committed to the decision to give up for good. Hypnotherapy can help you to focus on the way you view smoking and break the habit.
PHOBIAS including FEAR OF FLYING
Phobias may develop when someone has an exaggerated or unrealistic fear around or within a certain situation or object. It is common in day-to-day life. Phobias can restrict a person's life and cause them a lot of distress. You may feel extremely scared, nervous or anxious. Symptoms you may experience include dizziness, light-headedness, sweating, fast heartbeat, palpitations, nausea, shaking and upset stomachs. Hypnotherapy can help to change unwanted habits. Hypnotherapy allows you to go into a sense of deep relaxation through suggestion and increases your self-awareness.
