CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY IN HUNGERFORD & ONLINE
Clinical hypnotherapy, an evidence-based approach.
Clinical hypnosis is a technique that helps you experience changes in how you feel, think, or behave by guiding you into a relaxed state.
A relaxed conversation, no obligation. In person at The Croft, Hungerford, or online anywhere.
What the research shows
This combination of hypnotherapy and CBT is at the heart of how I work.
Hypnosis can be a valuable addition to many therapeutic approaches. Research supports its use in helping with anxiety, stress, sleep and confidence, and in changing how pain is experienced. There is also a substantial body of research on combining hypnosis with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Studies suggest that adding hypnosis can enhance the effectiveness of CBT, for example in reducing anxiety, including public speaking anxiety.
What happens in a session
​1
The induction
The process usually starts with an induction, a way of helping you get into a relaxed state. Methods vary, but they often include suggestions to help you feel calm and at ease.
2
The relaxed state
We can monitor and adjust our thoughts.
​
3
Making change
This helps you tap into your own mind's ability to create beneficial changes, making it easier to address issues or achieve personal goals.
​
The two approaches work together: CBT addresses the conscious layer, hypnotherapy the automatic one. That combination is why results are typically faster and more durable than either delivers alone.
​
How clinical hypnotherapy works
• Access the subconscious mind to uncover underlying beliefs and patterns.
• Identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviours.
• Put practical coping strategies and skills from CBT into practice.
• Foster self-awareness, resilience, and empowerment.​​
