What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is guided hypnosis, or a trance-like state of focus and concentration achieved with the help of a clinical hypnotherapist. This trance-like state is similar to being completely absorbed in a book, movie, music, or even one’s own thoughts or meditations. This heightened state of relaxation distracts the conscious mind state, so you can turn your attention inward to access the natural resources deep within your subconscious mind, the centre of all our feelings, habits and memories.  This can help you make changes or regain control in areas of our life, productively handling situations that have been causing you fear, anxiety or blocking you so you can reach your life goals. I work in partnership with you.

“I would have no hesitation in recommending hypnotherapy and Alison. Alison is so approachable and down to earth. She intuitively seems to be able to know just what I need and goes out of her way to ensure I am comfortable with what we will be doing and she also takes time to check in with me in between sessions, which I have really appreciated.  I feel she really cares.  I felt very safe in her hands and  was able to open up”. 

Sally, UK

Sarah, Portugal

Hypnotherapy can help change our thought patterns, beliefs and behaviours leading to achievement of life goals.

“Working with Alison was a very deep and transformative journey. She is very thorough in her sessions and made sure she covered all aspects of the core issue.  

I have now taken over a Challenge to run 5K in the next nine weeks…this would not have been possible without the work she has done with me.

What to Expect in a Hypnotherapy Session

Clinical hypnotherapy is performed in a calm, therapeutic environment. I will guide you into a relaxed, focused state and ask you to think about experiences and situations in positive ways that can help you change the way you think and behave.

This allows deeper thoughts and feelings to come to the surface, helping you locate and essentially revisit and heal memories of past experiences to make the positive and permanent changes you desire. By desensitizing old memories and habits–things you may not know are there, but that get in your way, that have emotionally blocked you for years– and creating positive responses and actions, you can achieve permanent change.

Unlike some dramatic portrayals of hypnosis in movies, books, or on stage, you will not be unconscious, asleep, or in any way out of control of yourself. The journey is a partnership between you and the therapist.

Your Customised Hypnotherapy Process

The First Session:

I will sit down with you to clearly ascertain your objective and gain some background on your personal issue, the challenges you are facing and your general health. During the session you will also learn how the mind works.

“You immediately made me feel relaxed and importantly not to feel too self conscious or embarrassed whilst undertaking the therapy. I actually feel that this first Session was so important on many levels, firstly to feel comfortable and understand the process”.

Andy, Hong Kong

Subsequent Sessions

Each session comprises of several cognitive and hypnotherapy healing techniques, visualisations and exercises to release the disempowering beliefs and experiences from your subconscious mind. We may give you some ‘homework’ to continue the shift in your beliefs and behaviours in between sessions. Sessions usually last between 60 to 90 mins.  Sessions are usually a week apart and can be done face to face or over skype.

“All in all, it has been a life changing, positive experience and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. Your attitude and approach is perfect, calm, empathetic, understanding, non-judgemental, especially for those that are not confident in their ability to reach their goal and also those who are perhaps a little embarrassed, or sceptical to be using Hypnotherapy for the first time’’.

Prices:

Prices vary according to which package and number of sessions. Please refer to my Personal Transformation and themed packages for more details.

Your personal package usually includes:

Client Exploratory Session

Usually held face to face or via skype. So I can get to know you and can share how hypnotherapy works and also so I can understand more about the area of your life you are looking to transform. From here I’ll be able to give an initial recommendation around the number of therapy sessions you make need and tailor a programme to meet your unique needs. It’s also a chance for you to ask any burning questions you may have!  All of which will enable us to fast-track you to the result you are looking to achieve.

3 or 5 or 8 Client Sessions

60 to 90 minutes long. In these sessions we’ll work through a variety of techniques to explore, create awareness, heal and create shifts in your life for long-lasting or permanent transformation.  There may be homework in between sessions, which includes listening overnight to recordings that are developed specially for you. These usually take the form of affirmations or short scripts. I’ll also teach you self-hypnosis and a selection of other useful tools and techniques, as appropriate, (such as the Emotional Empowerment Technique (EET) – a shortened fast track Tapping Tool) for you to use outside of the sessions and, which in themselves, can be transformational.
