Treatments

Personally designed treatment plans for you.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that I use to help my clients overcome addiction and reclaim control over their own lives.

When it comes to treating depression, hypnotherapy helps increase the chemicals, serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine levels in your body. The release of these hormones tends to make you happy from the inside out, enabling you to bring in a new, positive perspective towards everything in your life.

Furthermore, the bespoke hypnotherapy sessions that I offer, either in person or online, can help you form new habits and assist with other mental health issues. We will work together to create personalised sessions for you. We can then come up with a plan for the necessary steps towards greatly improving your well-being.

Addictions

Addictions, or repeated behaviours, can over-whelm and control your life. This can show in behaviours, such as drug use, alcohol, gambling, which is unhealthy for our mind and body. Often associated with feelings of secrecy, shame and guilt, it can be hard to know where to turn. Our brains become involved in reward, stress and lack of self-control, creating harmful changes in our brain circuits.

Hypnotherapy can help you take back control, help you understand that you can make the right choices and successfully overcome the problem.

The NHS define addiction as ‘not having control over doing, taking or using something, to the point where it can be harmful to you.’ Hypnotherapy can help you take back that control.

I work with people needing support to overcome addiction to:

Alcohol
Drug taking (such as smoking weed or social cocaine use – not physical drug addiction)
Eating
Gambling
Shopping
Smoking

In my work, I seek to understand the issue or issues associated with the addiction, no judgement.

We talk about the reasons for wanting change at this point, so I can understand what the client wants to achieve moving forward and their perceived benefits of the change. Hypnotherapy allows access to the subconscious, where the responses, reactions and behaviours we have to certain triggers can be re-programmed. In this wonderful state of relaxation, your unconscious mind becomes more open to suggestion, allowing you to create the changes you desire.

Many clients have achieved their desired outcomes, reminding me why I do this work, such a sense of satisfaction. I’m confident that I can help you create the changes you want. Working together, we can alter the way you think, feel and behave, by breaking old, unwanted behaviours and creating new ones. Together we can work to help you regain control over your own life.

Behavioural Change

Hypnotherapy can help people modify undesirable behaviours such as smoking, overeating, nail-biting, and addictions. It is often used as a tool to support clients to break unhealthy habits.

Stress Reduction

Hypnosis can induce deep relaxation, helping individuals reduce stress, anxiety, and tension. It can be especially effective in managing symptoms of stress-related disorders.

Pain Management

Hypnotherapy can help individuals manage and alleviate chronic pain, such as migraines, arthritis, or fibromyalgia. It can be used alongside conventional medical treatments to reduce pain perception.

Hypnotherapy to Overcome Insomnia and Sleep Problems

Hypnosis can be beneficial in treating insomnia and other sleep disorders. It helps individuals achieve a state of relaxation, which can improve their sleep patterns.

Waking up in the middle of the night or struggling to fall asleep is a problem many face. Worries about work, personal stress, relationships, or other thoughts that keep you awake at night? Insomnia can leave anyone fatigued, unable to cope, desperately trying to get through each day.

At the Initial Consultation, I explain that we all have a metaphorical stress bucket which we fill every day! The more stress we experience, the bigger the load we carry. This can, in turn, harm both our physical and emotional well-being along with our ability to sleep properly.

Once we start to re-establish a good sleep pattern, you will waken each morning feeling ready to start the day with new vigour and excitement!

Solution-focused Hypnotherapy can help individuals deal with stress and anxiety to achieve a sound night’s sleep and adopt a healthier sleeping pattern.

Enhanced Self-Esteem and Confidence

Hypnotherapy can help individuals develop a more positive self-image, boost self-esteem, and increase self-confidence. This can be valuable in addressing issues like social anxiety and public speaking fears.

Phobia and Anxiety Management

Hypnotherapy is often used to treat various phobias and anxieties, such as fear of flying, heights, or public speaking. It can help individuals confront and overcome these fears.

Smoking Cessation

Hypnosis is frequently employed as part of smoking cessation programs. It aims to change the way individuals perceive and think about smoking, making it easier to stop. It can also help to stop Vaping.

Weight Management

Hypnotherapy can be used to support weight loss efforts by addressing the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to overeating or unhealthy eating habits.

Improved Focus and Concentration

Hypnosis can enhance concentration and mental clarity, making it useful for individuals seeking to improve their academic or professional performance.

Reduce stress & anxiety during pregnancy and manage pain during Childbirth

Hypnotherapy during pregnancy can offer several potential benefits, although it’s important to note that individual experiences may vary and must never be relied on in place of medical advice.

Reduced Anxiety and Stress:

Hypnotherapy techniques can help individuals relax and manage anxiety or stress related to pregnancy, childbirth, or parenting.

Pain Management:

Pain or discomfort during pregnancy may be alleviated using hypnotherapy, reducing the need for medicines. It may assist in reducing perceptions of pain during labor and delivery. Some women report feeling more in control and less fearful of the birthing process.

Improved Sleep:

Pregnancy can sometimes disrupt sleep due to physical discomfort and hormonal changes. Hypnotherapy can promote better sleep and relaxation.

Enhanced Bonding:

Hypnotherapy sessions may include visualization exercises that help expecting parents establish a deeper connection with their unborn child.

Faster Recovery:

Some individuals believe that hypnotherapy during pregnancy can contribute to a smoother recovery postpartum, both physically and emotionally.

Positive Mindset:

Hypnotherapy aims to instil positive affirmations and beliefs about pregnancy and childbirth, fostering a more optimistic mindset.

Coping with Fear and Phobias:

For individuals with specific fears or phobias related to pregnancy or childbirth, hypnotherapy can be a tool to address and alleviate those concerns.

Increased Confidence:

Hypnotherapy can boost self-confidence and self-esteem, which may be particularly beneficial for first-time parents or those who have had challenging birthing experiences in the past.

Better Communication:

Couples may use hypnotherapy to enhance communication skills, ensuring they are on the same page and providing emotional support to each other.

Reduced Nausea and Vomiting:

Some studies suggest that hypnotherapy may help alleviate symptoms of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (morning sickness).

Mind-Body Connection:

Hypnotherapy encourages the mind-body connection, allowing individuals to become more attuned to their bodies and better manage the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy.

Preparation for Childbirth:

Hypnotherapy can provide tools for expectant parents to prepare for the birthing process, including techniques for relaxation, visualization, and breathing exercises.

It’s important to approach hypnotherapy with the guidance of a qualified and experienced practitioner, especially during pregnancy. Before starting any complementary therapy, individuals should consult with their healthcare providers to ensure it aligns with their overall care plan and is safe for their specific situation.

Emotional Healing

Hypnotherapy can help individuals process and heal from past traumas or emotional wounds. It can be particularly helpful in cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Working with Children & Teenagers

Children perceive and understand things differently to adults, which can have a distinct impact on them. They may struggle to deal with various everyday situations, and this can have a negative impact on their thought process and behaviour, leading to withdrawal, anger, low self-esteem and lack of confidence.

Life-changing experiences, traumatic events, exam pressures, bullying, medical conditions, eating issues and sleeping troubles are some of the many problems children deal with.

These events can manifest in ways which can affect their development and emotional well-being which makes it important to intervene at the right time with the correct treatment.

Hypnotherapy is an excellent way to get to the root cause of the issue, as it engages a child’s senses through imagination and hypnosis.

At Hollybush Hypnotherapy, I provide treatment for children, working with them to understand their needs and suggest new methods or thought processes that they can adopt to approach things in different ways.

By helping their thought process, positive changes can occur in a child which boosts their self-esteem, self-worth and positively impact the way they perceive things.

I strive to provide my clients with professionalism and personalised services in a relaxed environment, to ensure that every child is happy during the sessions.

Importantly, I work together with the parents or guardians to foster understanding, establish new language patterns and different approaches to the issues being faced.
