Why Clinical Hypnotherapy?
Throughout life we “collect” unhelpful and limiting thoughts, beliefs, habits and ways of “being”. These are stored in our unconscious mind. When you consciously decide to make a change in your life, deep seated NAT’s (negative automatic thoughts) play out in the background. This often results in us not being able to achieve our goals and in many cases self-sabotage, often reinforcing a negative self-fulfilling prophecy which makes it all the more difficult next time – a vicious circle!
“Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body” Norman V Peale
In by-passing the conscious mind and speaking directly to the unconscious, where these NAT’s and limiting thoughts, habits and beliefs are stored. We are able to ensure that the conscious and unconscious mind are aligned and thereby working together to achieve your goal.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis utilises a natural “state” that we, humans, experience many times a day. Examples of this are when engrossed in a good TV programme or film; when reading a book; driving and arriving at your destination and realising that you are not aware of the journey; the time just as you drop off to sleep or just as you are waking. This is a state of altered attention and heightened focus, where we become unaware of things around us and can hone in on something that is important in that moment.
During this state, which is referred to as trance, the conscious mind is by-passed, allowing your therapist to communicate with your unconscious mind, in order to achieve the beneficial therapeutic goal that has been discussed and agreed with you.
A Clinical Hypnotherapist is a specially trained professional who utilises this natural state and, together with a vast toolbox of techniques, facilitates and partners with you to achieve your desired outcome.
Testimonials
“I entered into hypnotherapy with an open mind and high expectations. At our first meeting Denise assured me that only I had the answers and that she could help me find them. In no way could she impose her own views or beliefs and she would enable me to come to my own conclusions. The journey hasn’t been without a little drama, but in all it was relatively painless and totally exhilarating. Denise has been at my side the whole way, not in front to pull me, not behind to push.... but right at my side, constantly there for me. I said that I felt she was like a magnet, I felt drawn to her by her energy and compassion. Now I am a magnet, I am interested and interesting and my journey will continue in a very positive way. As a result of the therapy my general health has improved more than I had hoped.
I would recommend everyone to try it, the possibilities are endless....”
Mrs T.S, Dursley
“I had two sessions to stop smoking, one to deal with the smoking and the second to deal with what comes with this and why I smoked. I would recommend no other way. I have not had a cigarette since, fantastic result! I felt fully comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. A transformation, thank you!”
Miss L.P, London
“Performance anxiety was becoming quite a problem for me and stopping me from achieving my full potential. A few sessions later and I could clearly see the improvement. A wonderfully, relaxing experience”
Mr L. A, London
“Seeing Denise for my IBS, that I have put up with for years, has been amazing. She made me feel totally relaxed, safe and secure and really listened to me. Things are now so much better and it is very rare that I have a problem. I will definitely recommend her to my friends, family and colleagues”
Miss J.O, London
“I was uncertain how coaching could help me but the results have been amazing. I am much clearer on where I want to go and how to get there and these are things I indentified by myself with the help of Denise. Really good”

“Hypno-coaching has really helped me. I now feel that I am an active player in my own life instead of feeling that I was a victim. I feel much more centered and in control. Thank you!”
