Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses hypnosis to support positive change at a subconscious level. It’s commonly used to help with: Anxiety and stress-related issues Confidence and self-worth Phobias and fears Behavioural habits such as emotional eating or smoking Performance, focus and mindset Hypnosis itself is a natural state of focused attention and relaxation. It’s similar to the feeling you experience when you are daydreaming, deeply absorbed in a book, or just drifting off to sleep, where your body is relaxed but your mind remains aware. In hypnotherapy, this state is used deliberately so we can work with the subconscious patterns that influence thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
