My approach uses clinical hypnotherapy to help you understand, access and change unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour, supporting greater relaxation, confidence and positive change.
Clinical hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses a relaxed, focused state of attention to help you work with thoughts, feelings and behavioural patterns.
At London Psychologist Centre, evidence-based clinical hypnotherapy is used as part of a solution-focused, personalised approach to help people make positive changes in areas such as anxiety, habits, confidence, phobias, smoking and weight management.
Hypnosis is not about losing control. You remain aware throughout the session and can stop or end the process whenever you choose.
During a hypnotherapy session, you are guided into a calm and deeply focused state. This is often described as similar to the natural state of being absorbed in a thought, daydream or activity.
In this relaxed state, attention can become more focused on the suggestions, images and ideas being explored during therapy. This can help you develop new associations and respond differently to patterns that may have become automatic.
The process may involve:
Hypnotherapy can also be combined with approaches such as Solution-Focused Counselling and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) when this is appropriate for your goals.
Clinical hypnotherapy may be used to support a range of concerns where thoughts, habits, emotions or automatic responses are getting in the way.
It may be helpful for:
The aim is not simply to help you relax during a session. It is to use that focused state as part of a wider therapeutic process that supports meaningful change in the way you think, feel and respond.
At London Psychologist Centre, the approach is tailored to your individual needs, with hypnotherapy used alongside other psychological techniques where appropriate.
Request an Initial Psychological Assessment to discuss your concerns and explore the most appropriate way forward.
