Therapy

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a natural state that we can go in or out of many times a day.  When our attention is focused to the point that external stimuli is ignored we go into hypnosis (trance) and that could be when we are listening to music, reading, watching TV, daydreaming, mediating, relaxing, etc.  Hypnotherapy uses this focused trance state, working at an unconscious level and we can access resources in this state that are not apparently available to us when conscious. 

. 

Everyone’s experience of trance will be different e.g. some people are aware of what is going on around them, others may feel like they have been asleep and anywhere in between. 

.

We also have to remember that our unconscious takes care of us and will not accept anything that is not for our benefit, therefore, a hypnotherapist cannot make you do anything that you do not want to do or that would violate your morals or ethics.

NLP – Neuro Linguistic Programming

Interactions between the brain (Neuro), language (Linguistic) and the body create patterns (Programming) which can result in effective or ineffective behaviour.  NLP is a model for excellence and looks at how we structure our thoughts, feelings and behaviours to produce a positive change in our life and communication. 

.

CBT - Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

CBT is based on the understanding that thoughts (cognition) and behaviours influence feelings and emotions.  CBT is goal-oriented with the objective of identifying and monitoring thoughts, assumptions, beliefs and behaviours that are related to negative/unhelpful emotions and move towards more realistic and useful ones.

SFBT - Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution focused brief therapy is a short-term goal-focused therapeutic approach which helps you to change by focusing on solutions rather than problems.  SFBT looks at how you want things to be different, what resources you have and what will it take to realise your preferred future.
