Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a ‘state of mind’ similar to day dreaming or the relaxed moment you experience just as you drift off to sleep. In Hypnosis though, instead of it simply being a relaxed state it is a directed state of attention which only occurs when you are feeling relaxed.

Engaging with people in this state has a long proven history of helping people to change their behaviour or experience. Hypnosis teaches you to exercise your mind to help you manage subconscious, automatic, repetitive thoughts and actions. It also allows you to turn down you’re ‘fight or flight response’ and support you on whatever journey your life is currently taking you on.

Some of the things Hypnotherpahy can help with:

• Pregnancy & Childbirth

• Stress, Anxiety and worries (whatever the source)

• Grief & Bereavement

• Relationships, challenges & breakdowns

• Menopause

• Phobic Disorders

• Insomnia & Sleep disorders

• Quit Smoking

Like other treatments at Archway Health & Wellbeing we like to make sure people know what to expect when they come in to see us because we want you to feel safe and relaxed. This is an especially good idea with Hypnotherapy because lots of people have wild and inaccurate preconceptions which they have gained from the media or after having seen a stage hypnotist in action. Actually the process is pleasant, relaxing, you will always feel in control and probably wish you had done it sooner.

During Hypnosis you are always aware of what is going on around you, you can move your body or cough for instance at any time as you would if you were sitting chatting to a friend. Everyone experiences Hypnosis at their level, in their way and so your session will be tailored to your individual needs, which are personal to each client.

Frances’s easy and simple Hypnotherapy techniques will help you to remain calm, channel your feelings, control your breathing and ultimately relax when dealing with potentially stressful situations.
