Hypnotherapy

Mention Hypnosis and most people will think of a stage act with people from the audience doing strange things on cue. However, using hypnosis as a tool to overcome phobias and anxiety perhaps or supporting one’s desire to stop smoking for example is far from that scenario.

Why Hypnotherapy?

  • Quitting smoking or alcohol
  • Weight loss & maintenance
  • Overcoming fears and phobias
  • Dealing with a stressful situations such as relationships, work/business issues or bereavement.
  • Improving self-confidence
  • Coping with Anxiety

So, what is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy can be referred to as guided hypnosis, which is a form of psychotherapy that uses relaxation techniques, extreme concentration, and intense attention to achieve a heightened state of consciousness or mindfulness. In other words, it places the individual into a “trance” or altered state of awareness.

Hypnotherapy is an alternative form of therapy that uses a person’s mind to help address a variety of issues, including psychological distress, phobias, and unhealthy or destructive habits. The goal of hypnotherapy is to create a positive change in an individual while he or she is in this altered state of awareness

Myths and Misconceptions
About Hypnotherapy

1. Only the mentally weak can be hypnotised: It is a myth that only the mentally weak are susceptible to hypnosis. People naturally vary in how susceptible they are to hypnosis. Studies have shown that around 30% of people are relatively resistant to hypnosis.

2. Under hypnosis, people are helpless: It’s difficult to get people to do things under hypnosis that they wouldn’t normally do.  While hypnotised people are still in touch with their morals and normal standards of behaviour.

3. Hypnosis is sleep: Yes, people look like they’re asleep when they’re hypnotised because their eyes are sometimes closed and they look peaceful. But it is a myth that under hypnosis they are asleep.

4. Hypnotherapy works in one session: This is a myth. The truth is that almost no one is cured in one session and hypnotherapy doesn’t always work for everyone. Most practitioners find their clients respond well after a number of sessions.

We all have our "issues" please reach out to him, he even supported me after hours, checking on my well being. I wish you all the best, we are not alone. Sara

Christine Walter

I was extremely fortunate to meet Chris in 2015, and our meeting was in an environment where he was confronted by my sharing many problems. After hearing my problems, Chris chose to reach out to me and gave me wise and practical advice to my complex emotional and addiction issues. I was in breakdown and Chris taking the time to talk to me was in my mind a testament to his kindness, empathy and integrity. My view of Chris is he loves people. Chris consciously and proactively gets involved with people but is very thoughtful, considered and sensitive to one’s willingness to accept help. I have never felt discomfort from Chris and his connecting with me has always been highly professional and dignified. What I find special is Chris has always valued me as a person and brought great clarity to any of my concerned situations. In all my meetings with Chris since 2015, he has treated me with great respect and has held great importance in validating my past. Chris has tried to help me find a higher purpose to why events have happened in my life. My getting well, and my journey to a healthy mental state of mind has sincerely been helped by my valued friendship with Chris.
