What is hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy quickly helps you overcome subconscious blocks and traumas through hypnosis, empowering you to make profound positive changes.
The power of hypnosis
ypnosis is a natural state of altered consciousness that we all experience—just before falling asleep, during meditation, or even while absorbed in activities like driving or playing music. In this state, the mind drifts into images and spontaneous thoughts, accompanied by deep relaxation and a sense of calm. Although our focus seems ‘elsewhere,’ we remain responsive; if something requires our attention, we can return instantly. The same is true in hypnotherapy: you stay fully aware of what’s happening and can end the process at any time.
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. No one can force you into it or make you do things against your will.
Why is hypnotherapy so effective
When someone goes to hypnotherapy with a presenting issue, they usually have tried a lot of things, and feel that they can’t progress any further using will or conventional treatment only. The reason why they can’t progress is because they can’t change the subconscious blockage that is causing the issue.
Our subconscious mind is responsible for our emotions, sensations, beliefs, long term memories and body functions and therefore determines how we behave and perceive the world. This blueprint is accessible easily during hypnosis and in this state, we can change what we want to achieve better life outcomes.
Hypnotherapy helps resolve most challenges rooted in the subconscious mind.

When we experience somatic issues, or feel triggered, something in the present revives unpleasant memories from the past.
This can be a memory we know consciously, or something we have never connected with the present issue.
By using a language that the subconscious mind understands instantly such as colours, shapes, music, stories, metaphors, symbols… we can heal from trauma and learn new ways of being, so that we no longer live ‘in the past’.
