The meaning of Hypnotherapy and what to expect during a session
What is Hypnotherapy and the hypnotic state?
Hypnotherapy harnesses the power of guided relaxation and focused attention to access a natural, trance-like state—one that you experience multiple times a day, such as when you become so absorbed in a book or movie that you lose track of time. In this state, your conscious mind quiets, allowing therapeutic suggestions to reach deeper, subconscious layers where lasting change can take root. Rest assured, hypnosis is a safe, evidence‑based practice: you remain fully aware, in control, and able to awaken at any time simply by choosing to do so.
What to expect in a Hypnotherpay session
1. Consultation and goal setting
We begin by discussing your background, current concerns, and the outcomes you hope to achieve. This conversation ensures the session is precisely tailored to your needs. And Goal Setting:** We begin by discussing your background, current concerns, and the outcomes you hope to achieve. This conversation ensures the session is precisely tailored to your needs.
2. Induction into hypnosis
Using calming guidance and relaxation techniques, I gently lead you into a trance-like state, where your mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions.
3. Deepening techniques
Through methods such as progressive muscle relaxation or vivid imagery, we deepen the hypnotic state to enhance receptivity and focus.
4. Therapeutic suggestions
Once you’re comfortably relaxed, we introduce bespoke, goal‑focused suggestions aimed at shifting subconscious beliefs and behaviours in line with your objectives.
5. Reorientation and debrief
Finally, I guide you back to full waking awareness, then we discuss your experience and any recommended next steps, such as self-hypnosis homework or audio practices to reinforce your progress.
Each session is collaborative and paced to your comfort level. You’ll leave feeling empowered, clear on actionable steps, and equipped with practical tools to maintain momentum between appointments.
