Frequently Asked Questions From Our Clients
Is Hypnosis Real?
Yes, hypnosis is a scientifically recognised therapeutic technique. It’s been validated in numerous studies as an effective treatment for a variety of issues, including anxiety, stress, chronic pain, and bad habits
Hypnosis works by inducing a deeply relaxed state, allowing access to the subconscious mind where positive changes can be made to thoughts, behaviours, and habits.
How Does Hypnosis Work?
Hypnosis works by guiding you into a state of deep relaxation, where your subconscious mind becomes more open to suggestion. In this focused state, a hypnotherapist can help you address underlying thoughts, habits, or behaviours that may be difficult to access in your regular, conscious state. This process promotes positive change by aligning your subconscious with your conscious goals, making it easier to overcome challenges like anxiety, bad habits, or phobias.
