What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?

 

Most people are pleasantly surprised by just how natural hypnosis feels.

 

You remain aware throughout the experience and are always in control.

 

As your body relaxes, your mind becomes calmly focused, making it easier to work with your subconscious mind. You can speak, move, open your eyes or end the session whenever you choose.

 

Many people describe hypnosis as feeling similar to becoming completely absorbed in a good book, listening to your favourite music, watching a film or driving a familiar journey and suddenly realising you've arrived.

In fact, we naturally move in and out of these focused states many times every day.

 

Clients leave feeling deeply relaxed, refreshed and pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the experience has been. Many describe it as a massage for the mind.

 

How Does It Work?

 

When we're deeply relaxed, the busy, analytical part of the mind naturally begins to quieten.

 

This creates the perfect opportunity to work more directly with the subconscious mind, where many of our beliefs, habits and automatic responses are stored.

​

I often describe it as updating the software on a computer.

 

The computer doesn't change.

 

It simply begins running more efficiently.

​

In much the same way, hypnosis gives you the opportunity to update the patterns running behind the scenes, allowing your subconscious mind to better support the life you want to create.

 

A Skill You Can Use for Life

 

One of the wonderful things about hypnosis is that, at its heart, it is really a form of self-hypnosis.

 

My role is simply to guide you into this relaxed, focused state.

 

You're the one creating the change.

 

As you become familiar with the process, many people discover they can recreate this state themselves, giving them a valuable skill they can continue using long after our sessions have finished.

Every person is unique, and together we'll explore how hypnosis can best support your individual goals.

​

Every Session is Unique

 

No two people are the same, so no two sessions are the same either.

I tailor every session to you, your goals and the way you naturally experience the world.

 

Sometimes hypnosis on its own is exactly what's needed.

 

Occasionally, I may feel that another approach, such as regression work or inner child healing, would help address the deeper cause of an issue and create even more lasting change. If that's the case, we'll discuss it together and decide on the approach that feels right for you.

My aim is always the same - to help you create meaningful, lasting change in a way that is comfortable, empowering and right for you.
