Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is widely promoted as a treatment for various long-term conditions and breaking habits. Trevor retired as a GP to focus on this area of work.
Is it magic? No, it is not. It is very natural. Hypnotherapy uses the strength of our creative mind in the same way as when we become fully absorbed like we do with a good book or film, or while meditating.
Does it work for everybody? People vary, but in our experience, almost everybody who wants to make a change finds it a way of gaining control.
Is it weird? No. It is a natural state under your control. People are wary of hypnosis because of the impression given by “stage hypnosis” in which highly susceptible people appear to be out of control and volunteer to do silly things for entertainment. Clinical hypnosis is the opposite, it puts you back in control.
Is it safe? Clinical hypnosis is completely safe and is used extensively in medical research and practice.
What conditions is it useful for? In recent years, and especially since the pandemic, the pressures and traumas of life have stopped many of us being able to enjoy physical and mental health. This has resulted in an increase in illnesses such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), eating disorders, chronic pain, and unexplained symptoms. Some people have lived with these problems for many years. Learning hypnotic skills for yourself can be a great relief, and allow you to have the experience of being back in control of your body and your emotions again.
