What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a focused state of relaxation and awareness that allows you to access your subconscious mind. Think of it like a conversation with the part of your mind that runs on autopilot — the place where habits, patterns, and beliefs are stored. By working directly with your subconscious, hypnotherapy helps you create positive, lasting change without the usual resistance or overwhelm.

Myths vs Facts

Myth #1: Hypnosis is mind control. 

Fact: You’re always in control. Hypnosis is a collaborative process where you’re fully aware and can stop at any time if you choose. 

Myth #2: You’ll get stuck in hypnosis. 

Fact: There’s no “trapped” state — you can naturally come out of hypnosis at any moment, just like waking up from a nap. 

Myth #3: Only certain people can be hypnotised. 

Fact: Most people can experience hypnosis as long as they’re willing and open to it. If you can focus on a story or daydream, you’re a good candidate! 

Why Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an incredibly versatile tool that can help with: 

  • Releasing limiting beliefs and behaviours 

  • Building confidence and resilience 

  • Improving mental, emotional, and physical well-being 

  • Accessing hidden strengths and resources 

From reducing stress to achieving personal breakthroughs, hypnosis empowers you to take charge of your journey. 

 FAQs

  • Not at all. You’ll be fully aware of what’s happening and can choose to engage with suggestions or not. Hypnosis feels a bit like zoning out — calm and comfortable.

  • Everyone is different, but many people notice improvements in just 1–2 sessions for simple goals. For more complex issues, a series of sessions might be recommended.

  • It’s a bit like that relaxed state just before you fall asleep. You’ll feel calm, peaceful, and deeply focused, with a heightened sense of awareness.

  • Hypnosis works best when you’re open and willing. With guidance, most people can enter this state. It’s about relaxing into the process — no pressure or performance needed.

  • Absolutely. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, and with a trained professional, it’s a safe and supportive process.
