What is hypnotheray?

As a form of Psychotherapy, hypnotherapy combines cognitive therapeutic counselling techniques with subconscious healing techniques which help patients to reprogramme patterns of behaviour within the mind.

In a hypnotherapy treatment, you are not hypnotised into a deep sleep; on the contrary, you are aware of everything happening around you and are always in control. This calm, relaxed process will lead you to entirely concentrate on the hypnotherapist’s voice. In this state, your unconscious mind is open to receive suggestions and commands for conscious change.

How does it work?

Hypnotherapy is thought to work by revealing the subconscious mind, while suppressing the conscious mind. The subconscious mind is deeper-seated than the conscious mind, which needs to be reprogrammed to change the patient’s behaviour and physical state.

For example, people consciously use everything they can to overcome a phobia, but the phobia still exists as long as their subconscious mind still has the problem. So it is this subconscious mind that needs to be reprogrammed to overcome the problem.

Treatment cost

Treatment cost varies and depends on your condition, location etc. Generally, a first visit which lasts about one and a half hours can cost from £60 - £100 and the following sessions which last up to an hour will cost £40 - £70. The number of sessions you need depends on your condition and reaction to the treatment. Five sessions is the average, but please check with your hypnotherapist before you start your treatment.

Tips for choosing your hypnotherapist

In the U.K., there is no official regulation to control hypnotherapy. So it is important to check that your hypnotherapist is fully trained and is accredited with the relevant professional body and registered with a professional council, society, or association.
