Hypnotherapy is an incredibly successful way of treating a host of emotional, psychological and habitual problems - without the use of medication or side-effects. The state of hypnosis allows direct access to our unconscious  whilst being completely relaxed.  In this state, positive and beneficial suggestions can be

delivered directly to the unconscious mind which

promotes rapid and long lasting change.The aim

of Hypnotherapy is to assist clients in finding

meaningful alternatives to their present

unsatisfactory ways of thinking, feeling or

behaviour.  

When you hear the word hypnosis, you may picture

the mysterious hypnotist figure popularized in

movies, comic books and television. This ominous,

goateed man waves a pocket watch back and

forth, guiding his subject into a semi-sleep,

zombie-like state. Once hypnotized, the subject is

compelled to obey, no matter how strange or

immoral the request. Muttering "Yes, master,"

the subject does the hypnotist's evil bidding.

This popular representation bears little resemblance

to actual hypnotism. In fact, modern understanding of

hypnosis contradicts this conception on several key points. Subjects in a hypnotic trance are not slaves to their "masters" -- they have absolute free will. And they're not really in a semi-sleep state -- they're actually hyperattentive.
