Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy combines clinical hypnosis with therapeutic techniques to address psychological and behavioural challenges. This evidence-based approach helps clients overcome issues like smoking addiction, weight management difficulties, and anxiety disorders. By accessing the unconscious mind, our practitioners facilitate lasting behavioural changes that improve overall wellbeing and quality of life.
Weight Management
Our weight management programmes use cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnosis to create sustainable lifestyle changes. The HypnoBand system simulates gastric band effects without surgery, helping clients develop healthier eating habits. This approach focuses on long-term behavioural modification rather than temporary dieting solutions.
Quit Smoking
This specialised programme addresses both physical and psychological nicotine dependencies. Using hypnotherapy techniques, we help clients break smoking patterns without nicotine substitutes. The treatment focuses on building motivation and creating permanent behavioural changes for improved health outcomes.
Stress Relief
Our stress relief programmes use relaxation techniques and cognitive restructuring to reduce anxiety. By teaching clients to access their body's natural healing processes, we help manage stress-related conditions and improve overall mental wellbeing through proven therapeutic interventions.
Natural Childbirth
This antenatal programme prepares expectant mothers for drug-free childbirth using self-hypnosis and breathing techniques. Based on Dr. Dick-Read's principles, it focuses on reducing fear and tension to facilitate calmer, more comfortable birthing experiences through mental and physical preparation.
