A calmer mind. A brighter you.
Sometimes we know we want to change, but our thoughts, emotions and habits can make it difficult to move forward.
Hypnotherapy provides a calm, supportive space to explore the thoughts, feelings and patterns that may be affecting how you think, feel and behave.
At Empower Yourself, I use a person-centred approach to hypnotherapy, tailoring sessions to your individual needs, circumstances and goals. Hypnotherapy may be used alongside other approaches such as coaching, NLP and counselling, where appropriate.
It can support people who are experiencing challenges such as:
-
Anxiety and stress
-
Overthinking and difficulty switching off
-
Low confidence and self-esteem
-
Fears and phobias
-
Unhelpful habits and behaviours
-
Sleep difficulties
-
Motivation and confidence
-
Life changes and transitions
-
Emotional wellbeing
-
Personal and professional development
What happens in a session?
Your first session is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to hypnotherapy, what you'd like to change and what you hope to achieve.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we'll explore what may be keeping you stuck and identify ways to help you move forward.
Hypnotherapy involves a relaxed, focused state of attention in which you remain aware and in control. It is not about losing control or being made to do anything against your wishes.
My aim is to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment where you feel heard, understood and supported.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR LIFE TO CHANGE.
YOU CAN CREATE CHANGE.
Whether you're looking to feel calmer, build confidence, change an unhelpful pattern or simply feel more like yourself again, hypnotherapy can be one part of your journey towards positive change.
You don't need to become someone else.
You need to become more YOU. 🦋

Additional Information
Hypnosis is a therapeutic,, altered state of consciousness characterized by intense focus, deep relaxation, and heightened suggestibility. It involves detaching attention from the immediate environment to focus inward, allowing individuals to become more open to suggestions that can change sensations, thoughts, behaviors, or emotions. It is used to manage pain, treat mental health conditions, and modify habits.
Key Aspects of Hypnosis
-
Hypnotherapy: When used by professionals to treat, for example, anxiety, pain, or smoking, it is known as hypnotherapy.
-
Self-Hypnosis: A person can intentionally put themselves into this trance-like state to achieve goals, such as managing stress, similar to being engrossed in a movie.
-
Reality of Experience: While in this state, imagined experiences can feel real, helping to break, for example, unhealthy, deeply ingrained patterns.
-
Not Sleep: Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is a state of active, focused attention rather than sleep.
-
Mechanism: It typically involves a, hypnotic induction (preliminary instructions) followed by,
suggestions to help the individual relax and focus.
Common Uses and Effectiveness
-
Pain Management: Used for, for example, cancer-related pain, chronic conditions, and dental procedures.
-
Behavioral Change: Effective for smoking cessation and weight loss.
-
Mental Health: Used to manage anxiety, phobias, and stress.
-
Medical Procedures: Used to, for example, reduce, for instance, anxiety before surgery and manage, for example, side effects of treatment.
Important Considerations
-
Safety: Generally, it is safe, but it should be done with a qualified professional, especially for, for instance, deep-seated, for instance, psychological issues.
-
Limitations: It is not effective for everyone, as suggestibility varies among individuals.
-
Risks: While rare, potential side effects can include dizziness, headache, anxiety, or the creation of false memories.
Hypnosis works best when a person is a willing participant.
