Clinical Hypnotherapy can help with a huge range of medical conditions because the mind has a powerful influence over our body and health.
Hypnotherapy has an effect wherever there is a psychological influence
on the problem:
- Your mental approach greatly influences the healing process
- Many medical conditions are exacerbated and even caused by psychological
influences such as stress
Given this, pretty much all medical conditions can be helped and sometimes
cured using hypnotherapy alone. I do, however, usually work in tandem with
your GP and medical advice shoud always be sought first for medical conditions.
Please ring me to discuss whether (and to what degree) I can help with your
own particular condition.

Mind over matter
Mind over matter is one thing but 'sub-conscious mind
over matter' is another matter altogether.
Many years ago whilst suffering with yet another cold I realised something
very odd. I asked my friend how come in the 10 years that I'd known him
he'd NEVER had a single cold!?
His stunning answer still brings a smile to my face and was to open my mind
to the many mechanisms that make hypnotherapy so effective. He replied:
"I don't believe in them."
Beautiful, simple and powerful. He'd come to believe that colds were 'all
in the mind' and as a result he stopped getting them altogether! I loved
this idea so much that it soon became my belief and now I very rarely get
them either!
Mind / Body balance
The mind really is that powerful but as it turns out it's the sub-conscious
mind that truly governs our healing and health. The conscious mind usually
attacks thoughts that might change the way we fundamentally think
or behave. However, in the above case we both somehowmanaged to slip this
'crazy idea' past the guard to where the powerful subconscious could make
it a reality for us. Hypnotherapy however, is the arena in which you can
tell your subconscious to take control in a medical capacity ...and it will.
There has recently been a massive increase in medical research into the effect our minds have over our health. It is now widely accepted that the psychological influence of e.g., depression and stress can cause a host of medical problems e.g., stomach ulcers, suppression of the immune system, ... If you scan the list above-opposite yo will quickly see that many of those conditions are already linked with stress.

Subconscious healing
The solution is simple:
Where the mind is powerful enough to cause / exacerbate such
medical conditions,
... it is powerful enough to treat/cure such medical conditions.
In hypnosis I'll show you how to harness this 'power'. Sometimes we can create deep visualisations of what we want to happen at a biological level in your body. Other times we can request the subconscious in a general way and it 'just knows' what to do to heal you. Confidence boosting and deep relaxation techniques are usually very effective first steps too.
There are no gaurantees that hypnotherapy will cure your condition for you.However, it is frequently highly effective, particularly in cases where orthodox medical approaches have failed to help. Please call me for any advice using the number below.

Clinical hypnotherapy would most likely involve:
Learning to relax deeply
Staying in calm control of everyday life, is generally the first step
as it is a very effective place to start with most conditions. When
we know we can remain relaxed and calm we build a sense of effectiveness
and a confidence in our ability to manage our own thoughts and emotions
without stress.
Using hypnotic suggestions
for building confidence
In a state of deep hypnotic relaxation clients are given powerful
suggestions for feeling more in control, more confident and more effective
in their lives. This allows the client to cope better with their existing
symptoms, but also boosts them enough to help them achieve the changes
they desire.
Physiological understanding
By increasing, where possible, the client's understanding of
the source of their symptoms we can generate effective visualisations
for healing. Furthermore we can often lessen the impact of the symptoms
just from the understanding alone, e.g., with panic attacks or blushing.
Anatomical and abstract visualisations
By visualising (in hypnosis) the physiological changes needed to eradicate
the condition, the subconscious learns what it is that it must do to
heal you. Some people prefer abstract visualisations e.g. their own
miniature army fighting the infection's motley crew. Others prefer to
visualise the true anatomical picture their GP or consultant has given
them e.g., tendons, blood flow, nerves, vertebrae etc,... undergoing
the required changes.
Post Hypnotic Suggestion
For some conditions, particularly where there is no known physiological
cause, powerful suggestions can be made that the problem will improve
without having to know how the subconscious does it. e.g., the energy
levels of a Chronic Fatigue sufferer increase purely from suggestions
that they will.
Treatment Length
Treatment length in most cases is 3-6 sessions but varies greatly depending
on the condition and your own specific circumstances. Please call for
more details.
