Hypnotherapy is a form of complementary therapy that utilises the power of positive suggestion to bring about subconscious change to our thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

The process itself aims to alter our state of consciousness in a way that relaxes the conscious part of the mind while simultaneously stimulating and focussing the subconscious part. This heightened state of awareness – reached using skilled relaxation techniques – allows the therapist to then make appropriate suggestions.

Hypnosis (hypnotic trance) is an altered state of consciousness in which it is possible to communicate with the subconscious mind.

You may be surprised to know that it is a very common state which everybody automatically drifts in an out of from time to time.
