THE THERAPY
There are TWO entirely different treatments using Conscious Hypnosis;
Suggestion Therapy - Is used for simpler problems such as smoking, nail-biting, pre- test nerves, slimming, relaxation, confidence boosting etc; which require only one to three sessions with a solution- focused Hypnotherapy audio tape for self hypnosis and reinforcement.

Analytical Psychotherapy - is used to discover the CAUSES of psychological problems ( one can mix both therapies) Analysis can be summarised briefly as the doctrine of cause and effect, every effect (the symptom) must have a cause. Hypno-Analysis reveals and thus removes the cause and consequently relieves the symptoms.

Each person and each challenge is unique. Therefore, the number of consultations varies suggestion therapy usually takes one to three sessions, which includes a free hypnotherapy tape for reinforcement. Analytical hypnotherapy takes on average 8- 10 sessions which also includes a free hypnotherapy audio tape to reinforce the work at home.

Questions and Answers
What is Hypnosis?
A state of relaxation and concentration at one with a state of heightened awareness induced by suggestion. It is a non-addictive power for good and is a natural manifestation of the mind at work.
Are there some people you cannot hypnotise?
No (Except people with mental disability, although of course the degree varies from person to person)
Are drugs or tablets used?
No
Shall I be aware of what is happening?
Yes. The predominant feeling of most people is - "It didn't work for me-I never went under"
So I am not asleep then?
No. You are simply extremely relaxed. This is why the technique is called "Conscious Hypnosis".
Is there any cause for concern?
None whatsoever. Hypnosis is a proven therapeutic aid
How many visits will I need?
Simpler problems like smoking, nail biting, slimming, pre test nerves, usually require 1-3 sessions and the success rate is surprisingly high. The more deep-rooted nervous disorders require "analytical" rather than suggestion therapy which usually consists of 8-12 weekly sessions.
Can I be influenced to do anything against my will or nature?
No in fact you would be shocked out of the hypnotic state immediately if any such action was suggested to you.
Can "normal" people undergo Hypno-Psychotherapy or Psycho- Analysis?
Not only can they, but they should. For an insight into yourself, it has no equal.
