Inner
Changes - Manchester based professional Hypnotherapy and NLP
What
is hypnosis?
Hypnosis
is simply a state of highly focused concentration and heightened awareness.
You unknowingly experience this natural state every day. It's just a way
of tuning out distracting thoughts, and focusing your attention, just
as you do when you're daydreaming, or when totally absorbed in a film,
book, TV show, or favourite hobby, or even when driving.
Hypnosis
is thought to work by altering your state of consciousness, in such a
way that the analytical left-hand side of the brain is quietened down,
while the non-analytical right-hand side is made more alert. This allows
the unconscious mind to come to the fore, where it is able to accept suggestions
more easily. The unconscious mind contains all your memories and experiences,
and controls your automatic thoughts and behaviours, and this is the part
which has to change for your behaviour and physical state to alter.
What
is hypnotherapy?
In hypnotherapy
you are guided into hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. It is literally
therapy done while in hypnosis and can be thought of as an effective and
speedy form of psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy can change your patterns of
behaviour and perceptions, enabling irrational fears, phobias, habits,
negative thoughts and suppressed emotions to be overcome. With the help
of the hypnotherapist, you are able to look at problems differently and
maybe discover solutions to problems that had been missed before. Hypnotherapy
and NLP can treat many of the things that you would normally visit a counsellor
or psychotherapist for and a lot more.
Using hypnosis
to gain access to the unconscious mind allows the therapist to suggest
positive and beneficial ideas which become firmly planted in your unconscious.
It is also possible to recall and resolve past memories which relate to
current blockages. Old, outdated and inappropriate patterns of behaviour
can be dropped, in favour of new and more rewarding ways of being.
It is generally
assumed that hypnotherapy is limited to dealing with problems such as
smoking and excess weight, however a major part of a hypnotherapist's
practice is in dealing with such problems as stress, anxiety, panic attacks,
as well as physical complaints such as migraine, arthritis, digestive
disorders, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and numerous psychosomatic
illnesses.
Are there any dangers in hypnosis?
There are
no substantiated cases of harm befalling any hypnotised subject. The British
Medical Association approved hypnotherapy as a valid medical treatment
in 1955 and the American Medical Association followed in 1958.

Location
I
practice from both my home and a local complementary health clinic, both
located in Chorlton-cum-Hardy in South Manchester, close
to junction 7 & 8 of the M60 and the end of the M56. Within easy travelling
distance of areas in Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire.
I see the majority of my clients in a consulting room in my home,
but if you would prefer to see me at the complementary
health clinic
instead then do please let me know when booking your appointment.
Booking
a Consultation
I
offer a Free 30 minute Initial Consultation. This gives
us the chance to discuss your problems further, answer any questions you
might have and give you an estimate of the number of sessions you may
require. Most issues can be very quickly dealt with in around three to
four sessions, for more deep rooted or complex problems, possibly five
or more may be required. However as we are all unique individuals, you
decide when you have reached resolution.
It is always my aim to help you resolve your issues as quickly as possible.
My
services can be combined and tailored to your individual or company needs,
and range from one to one private therapy or coaching sessions through
to group training and workshops.
When
you are committed to making the inner changes you need,
to achieve the life you want, simply phone me on 0161 881 4333 or
to make an appointment now.
