What is hypnosis?
The actual experience of being hypnotised is very difficult to describe, neither asleep nor awake.
All hypnotic states are characterised by a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation, an altered state of consciousness into which individuals allow themselves to enter, so that desired beneficial suggestions may be given directly to the unconscious mind. Thus, hypnosis is a natural, effective way of making contact with the inner (unconscious) self, a source of many of our problems as well as a tremendous reservoir of unrecognised potential strength and knowledge i.e. the forgotten assets.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy means the use of hypnosis for treatment and relief of a variety of somatic and psychological symptom in the early part of the 20th century hypnosis was used almost exclusively by stage hypnotists, therefore projecting a hopeless distorted view of this very powerful therapeutic tool. However in 1955 the British Medical Association endorsed the practice of hypnosis in Medical school education since when it has become a valuable addition to conventional medical treatment. Modern hypnotherapists use hypnosis not only for medical purposes but also as an aid for the resolution of many problems of a psychological origin.
It is estimated that approximately 85% of people of all age groups will readily respond to clinical hypnotherapy. It is often successful where other, more conventional methods have failed.
Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe and there are no harmful side effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled Hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent.

Questions
Are there side effects?
Yes, you sleep better and feel more confident about everything.
Am I in control?
You will hear everything, which is being said, but do not need to listen. Everything you wish to take on board you will.
Can everyone be hypnotised?
Yes but only if they want to be. Nobody can ever be hypnotised against his or her will, and even when hypnotised you can reject any of the suggestions given if not appropriate.
How does it feel?
Different for everyone, but always pleasant.
Can I have someone there with me?
Yes if you wish. Most people feel more comfortable on their own, but it is entirely up to the individual.
What if I don't really want to stop? 1 have never met a smoker who really wanted to stop, if they did they would not need extra help. Hypnosis can help you become someone for whom smoking is a thing of the past - it does not change your personality, nor make you anti-smoking, you just stop smoking yourself.
How long does it last?
One session of one hour .... And you leave as someone who no longer smokes. Easy.
