Durham Hypnosis

Hypnotherapy can be a powerful and useful tool in allowing us to control our weight, whether that is to maintain, increase or decrease our weight. Unlike dieting, hypnotherapy concentrates on healthy balanced eating and lifestyle which takes the focus off deprivation. Generally, when we are feeling like we are being deprived of something we begin to obsess about that thing and find ourselves trapped in a cycle of obsession and deprivation. Hypnotherapy helps to focus you on your goal and concentrate on the positive aspects of controlling your intake of calories, increasing your energy and increasing your confidence in yourself and your ability to achieve a weight you are happy with.

More and more smokers just like your-self are questioning why do I smoke?
Are you sick, or even hate smoking?
Are you not fed up of spending all that money on cigarettes ..day in day out? (about £2500 a year for a 20 a day habit)
Are you not worried about your health and the effect that smoking is having?

It is not important how many times you have said I am going to quit, may it be 10, 20 or 100 times before. This is the 1st time that you are going to take that major step in gaining the freedom from smoking that you want.

"Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower it turns out, counts for very little." 
New Scientist vol 136 issue 1845

Supporting you through our life coaching program to achieve the life that you want. You don't need to be stuck anymore.

Most of us at some point in our lives suffer to a higher or lower degree, from depression, anxiety and stress. This can be as a result of specific circumstances or can be a 'build up' of difficulties, for some it becomes almost a 'learned behaviour' and we get stuck in a negative cycle of thoughts, actions and symptoms. Hypnotherapy can breaks the negative cycle of depression, anxiety and stress allowing us to become more positive, feel calmer and more organised, it allows us the space to re-organise our thoughts into a more productive pattern. If you feel 'stuck' in this negative cycle, Hypnotherapy may be the way for you to become 'unstuck'.

Past life regression is an exciting trip into your own past lives, unlocking doors in your mind that open other worlds, worlds that were yours in another time.

This is a technique which will take an individual back through time to their previous lives by accessing normally hidden memories in the subconscious mind.

I will lead you through the use of hypnosis along with visualisation procedures similar to those used in some forms of meditation.

So what will you encounter in these past lives? Some people discover lives that they have shared with people that they have a close bond with in their present life. Others are drawn to certain places or countries that they immediately feel comfortable and familiar with. Each life explored is a journey and an adventure.

With Hypnotherapy straightforward fears and phobias can be very quick to treat. An Initial Consultation followed by 3 sessions are usually all that is required to treat your phobia. The technique is very relaxing and positive. The Initial Consultation explains how your fear/phobia has evolved and how your mind has supported the belief that, whatever your fear or phobia, it is to be feared and/or avoided. We focus very much on your preferred behaviour when faced with the object of your fear or phobia and therefore do not look at what may have caused the negative feelings you have. The details of your experiences of these feared/phobic situations can remain private; as your Hypnotherapist I would only have to know how you would like things to be in the future.

Many of us suffer from a lack of confidence in one area of our lives or another. A lack of confidence can restrict us in living our lives to the fullest. We may try telling ourselves we are confident, or try to act confident to overcome this difficulty, only to find ourselves trembling internally and losing even more confidence. Hypnotherapy can enable us to believe in ourselves by ensuring the subconscious believes in us. The number of sessions will vary from client to client.

Sleep problems can be debilitating to a happy, productive life. In our Initial Consultation a full explanation of how and why these sleep problems occur will help you to begin to understand the solution to your sleep problems including the problem of nightmares. With the free relaxation CD every client receives at their Initial Consultation, improvements are seen very quickly. The number of sessions required for sleep problems can vary from 1-10 depending on the severity of the problem and any possible underlying problems.
