Hypnotherapy
For over 100 years Hypnotherapy has been used to treat a variety of psychological and physical symptoms. It is a straightforward 'down to earth' therapy in which hypnosis is used to produce deep relaxation.
​
Hypnosis dramatically reduces levels of stress and anxiety and increases an individual's ability to respond to positive suggestions.
Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT)
Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy is an advanced branch of Hypnotherapy that moves beyond the traditional approach of direct suggestion for symptom removal. It combines CBT and Hypnotherapy to create highly structured and goal orientated treatment plans and for this reason is one of the shortest forms of psychological therapies with the average number of sessions being between 4-6.
Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy can be used to help clients experiencing a wide range of issues such as:
Acute Phobias
Addictions
Anxiety Disorders
Habits
Insomnia
Pain Management
Panic Attacks

Clinical Hypnotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based, scientific model combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy.
