Weight Loss
DO YOU.....?
- Eat when you aren't hungry?
- Crave something sweet or savoury?
- Eat when feeling sad, lonely, bored, angry etc?
- Yo Yo diet?
- Find yourself being unable to shift those last few pounds?
- Lose weight and find it impossible to keep it off?
Hypnosis can help by allowing you to overcome unconscious obstacles which prevent you from losing weight and from keeping weight off after a successful diet. You know that eating too much is not what you desire and you know that exercise and sensible diet are important. However, these are not conscious, logical issues. Successful weight loss is as much about re-educating your unconscious mind as it is about dieting. Hypnosis is one of the most natural ways to lose weight.
Hypnotherapy can help by:-
Developing a new self image. See yourself in the future after losing weight and make that your desired future outcome.
Learn to be more relaxed about weight loss and weight management. Stress is often a serious factor in bad diet and comfort eating.
Positive thinking about weight and diet. Stop worrying about your weight and weight loss and start looking forward to losing weight and achieving your goals.
Start to feel better about yourself. This will help you to lose weight and, of course, losing weight will help you to feel even better about who you are and what you can achieve. The whole thing becomes a very positive cycle which goes round and round. Most people expect to have to lose weight in order to feel good about themselves. Interestingly, when you start to feel good about yourself, weight loss, health and happiness often follow.

Stress & Anxiety
Stress and anxiety is commonly treated by hypnotherapists with none of the side effects associated with medications. In order to reduce stress and anxiety we need relaxation and using hypnosis you can attain deep relaxation. Relaxation demobilises the sympathetic nervous system which in turn control the stress chemicals, these are what can make us so ill, resulting in panic attacks, depression and sleep problems.
Hypnotherapy can help you retrain your system to respond differently, putting you back in control. It does not involve long hours of therapy, you can start to feel the real benefits and learn how to deal with stress after only a couple sessions.
Fears & Phobias
A phobia is the triggering of your instinctive "fight or flight" response by an inappropriate stimulus. This response is very primitive or very basic and is present in all creatures that are capable of defending themselves or escaping. This is why it's so difficult to override it, even when you know, consciously, that there is no real danger.
Phobias are usually cured in one session.
Anger management
WHAT CAUSES ANGER?
Anger is a strong emotion of displeasure caused by some type of grievance that is either real or perceived to be real by a person. The cognitive behaviour theory attributes anger to several factors such as past experiences, behaviour learned from others, genetic predispositions, and a lack of problem-solving ability. To put it more simply, anger is caused by a combination of two factors: an irrational perception of reality (“It has to be done my way”) and a low frustration point (“It’s my way or no way”). Anger is an internal reaction that is perceived to have a external cause. Angry people almost always blame their reactions on some person or some event, but rarely do they realise that the reason they are angry is because of their irrational perception of the world. Angry people have a certain perception and expectation of the world that they live in and when that reality does not meet their expectation of it, then they become angry.
It is important to understand that not all anger is unhealthy. Anger is one of our most primitive defence mechanisms that protects and motivates us from being dominated or manipulated by others. It gives us the added strength, courage, and motivation needed to combat injustice done against us or to others that we love. However, if anger is left uncontrolled and free to take over the mind and body at any time, then anger becomes destructive.
Study habits, exam & interview nerves
Hypnotherapy can help you develop and use effective study habits, motivate you to study and help you to enjoy studying. Research has proved that the ability to focus, even for short periods of time, is essential for learning. The average attention span for one task is around 20 minutes, but to retain information, the focus for that 20 minutes must be absolute.
Habit change
Habits are mostly performed unconsciously – that is without deliberately deciding to do them - and they often happen more frequently at times when you are stressed or bored. An example of this is nail biting. It is because habits are stored in the "unconscious" part of the mind that it is often difficult, if not impossible, to control them consciously.
Hypnotherapy can be extremely helpful in dealing with unwanted habits because it accesses the unconscious part of the mind where habits are stored. This helps change to take place because the habit is being dealt with at its source.
Sports Enhancement
It is widely accepted that hypnosis can be a very helpful technique to enable sports people to reduce performance anxiety, eg. first tee nerves and those 3ft putts in golf.
Hypnotherapy can help you to focus and concentrate
no matter what sport you do.
Public speaking
Hypnotherapy can help you relax, put you in a controlled frame of mind and help you feel calm.
Self-confidence & Self esteem
Hypnotherapy is also an effective tool to develop your own inner resources, to become stronger and more focused so that in a very natural way you will become more confident about yourself and enhance your ability to deal with people and the world around you.
