Answers
Why is your website URL 1066 Hypnotherapy and not 1066 Therapy?
The website URL is based on the original name of my practice. I changed the name of the practice to reflect the ongoing training I have undertaken in different therapy models in order to be able to help my clients more effectively. However, I now have both URLs ‘pointing to’ the same site.
Does the psychotherapy include hypnosis?
No, it doesn’t.
back to questions
Does Cognitive Therapy have any hypnosis?
No. Please note that I no longer offer this as a stand-alone approach, as explained on the main Cognitive Therapy page.
back to questions
How about hypnosis with EMDR?
No, there is no hypnosis involved. Please see the EMDR page for more information.
Hypnosis is simply an natural yet slightly altered state of awareness. A good description of hypnosis is “A state of relaxation and concentration at one with a state of heightened awareness induced by suggestion”.
back to questions
If I have hypnosis will I still be in control?
Yes you will. It is a complete myth, encouraged by stage shows, that people under hypnosis are out of control in any way. Hypnosis when used for therapeutic reasons is not used to apparently ‘make’ people do things they would not normally do. It is just light relaxation.
back to questions
Will I be fully aware if you use hypnosis?
Yes, you will usually have enhanced awareness and focus during hypnosis.
back to questions
Can anyone be placed into a hypnotic state?
Yes, except for the mentally ill and those under the influence of drink or drugs.
back to questions
Can medical problems be helped?
Sometimes. It is essential that you consult your GP with any problems that you feel may be medical before undertaking any form of therapy.
back to questions
Only if you want to. Not all doctors have a thorough knowledge of psychotherapy or hypnotherapy. However, many do recommend it as a positive step forward.
back to questions
Will you inform anyone of my therapy?
I operate under a strict code of client confidentiality.
back to questions
Can you help children and young adults?
Yes, although it is sometimes more useful to work as a family. Please see the Children’s Problems page for further information.
back to questions
Can you guarantee to help me completely with my problem?
back to questions
There can never be any absolute guarantees when it comes to working with a person’s mind. Therapy is a collaborative process. I work to establish trust, and a good rapport and understanding of my clients and their problems. We work together to move towards a resolution of those problems.
