About Us
Algarve Hypnosis Clinic, located in Praia da Luz, is a hypnotherapy clinic run by Alison Giles, a qualified hypnotherapist with over 20 years of experience as a nurse in oncology, general nursing, and in the community. This extensive background provides the foundation for her work as a hypnotherapist. Alison's extensive experience has given her a broad understanding of health and well-being, and the impact that illness has on individuals and their families.
At Algarve Hypnosis Clinic, we understand that everyone has the capacity to improve their physical and mental health if they are given the tools to do so. Hypnotherapy is the latest in a series of therapies, including therapeutic massage, oncology massage, and reiki, which Alison has trained in over the last 14 years. This, alongside her nursing background, underpins her holistic approach to health and well-being.

How Hypnotherapy Works
It is generally accepted that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. A hypnotherapist helps facilitate and teach the technique using guided relaxation, allowing the client to feel calm and safe. This creates a highly engaged and focused level of attention during which the mind becomes very open to suggestion, new ideas, and new ways of thinking and responding.
Hypnotherapy aims to create new response patterns within the brain using the inner resources of the imagination and all the senses. This creates an environment where irrational fears, phobias, anxieties, negative thoughts, and suppressed emotions can be safely overcome, and new ways of coping and behaviours can be put into their place.
