This therapeutic process enhances connectivity between brain regions associated with relaxation, attention, and mental control. Neuroimaging suggests hypnosis may improve connectivity between brain regions involved in attention and control while reducing activity in areas associated with self-awareness and sensory processing. These changes in connectivity could contribute to the altered state of consciousness experienced during hypnosis.

For more straightforward issues like quitting smoking or specific phobias, some people might find success in just a few sessions. However, more complex problems such as chronic pain, anxiety disorders, or deep-seated behavioural patterns may require a more extended treatment plan.

Hypnotherapy is considered a safe therapeutic tool recognised and used by the NHS. However, as with any therapy, some people should be cautious about this treatment approach. Individuals with severe mental health conditions such as Psychosis, severe personality disorders, severe PTSD, substance use disorders and severe levels of anxiety should be extra cautious. If you are unsure if this treatment is right for you, we can discuss your individual needs in privacy, and I can give you my recommendation.

Good quality sleep is essential for your positive physical and mental well-being.

Most of us wake during the lighter phases of our natural sleep cycles and fall back to sleep effortlessly. However, naturally returning to sleep is complicated and causes problems for some. Hypnosis can help.

Hypnotherapy can help your sleep issues by training your subconscious mind to switch off worry and drift back to sleep. Over time, your mind will stop waking you, and your natural, regular sleep pattern will continue.

Your nervous system links your mind and body. Stress, anxiety and depression often have a profound, negative effect on all your bodily systems and functions.

During the stress response (fight or flight), body parts are on high alert, primed for action. During this time, ”less essential functions such as digestion, the immune system or fertility are suppressed.

Circulation reduces your gut to your extremities, giving you maximum power to run or fight. This can lead to symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, indigestion or nausea.

Generalised anxiety often contributes to hyper-sensitivity and hyper-reactivity of the gut, triggering IBS symptoms. Worrying about IBS flare-ups can re-trigger symptoms, creating a vicious cycle.

The stress response process is designed to return to normal once a threat has passed. Unfortunately, in today’s busy world, we find ourselves overstimulated with information on top of our busy daily routines and family/ work demands.

We are permanently ”hooked in” checking emails, text messages and scrolling social media pages at all times of the day. As a result of this lifestyle, our bodies are subject to a permanent state of low-level anxiety, and we are unable to relax effectively and regulate correctly.

Hypnotherapy is an effective form of stress relief and can act as a circuit breaker for mind-body symptoms. The gut relaxes and breaks the anxiety loop by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest phase) by giving the body a much-needed break from stimulation.

During this restful, recuperative state, the subconscious mind is gently filled with positive suggestions to calm the nervous response, soothe the digestive system and end the cycle of symptoms.

Hypnotherapy is recognised and recommended as an effective and safe treatment for IBS by NHS NICE guidelines.
