Cognitive Hypnotherapy

Our minds work on two levels, the conscious which works logically and is responsible for the daily running of our lives and the unconscious which protects us and controls our emotions, habits and automatic actions such as bathing, eating, driving etc. Have you ever been driving your car and at a certain point wondered how you got there?

Various experiences through life can lead your unconscious to believe that certain things are good or not good for you. For example, perhaps you were stressed or anxious and you smoked a cigarette, or ate a piece of cake and felt better for it. Your unconscious will believe that these things are good for you and will motivate you to continue to crave the cigarette or piece of cake however much you consciously wish to stop. You may have had an unpleasant experience in water or with a spider and so your unconscious will try to protect you by motivating you to continue avoiding these things.

Hypnotherapy is way of deeply relaxing and accessing the unconscious beliefs and habits that are causing your problems and to create lasting changes enabling you to regain control of your own life.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is an approach bases on ideas from evolutionary psychology, cognitive theory and NLP to create a flexible approach which can be tailored to each clients specific needs. During sessions you will be fully aware and in control.
