Clinical & Strategic Hypnosis focuses on the solution to a condition rather than why it occurred. It does not require you to delve into the past in search of reasons.  It is very specific in its approach and is focused solely on achieving therapeutic goals.

Your hypnotherapy sessions with me will normally follow these steps:

Case History

This will give us the opportunity to discuss the development of the symptom (the when, where, how, how long, how often) and what attempts you have previously made to address it. I will gather information on your medical history and details of any medication you may be taking.

Education/Reframe

There are many misconceptions about hypnosis and anxiety-based issues. This part of the session will give me the opportunity to help you understand how the body is wired to react in stressful situations and how/why this can sometimes go into overdrive, causing a range of unpleasant symptoms. The objective is to give you the facts and help you see your condition in a different light.

Explanation of treatment

I will explain to you the different stages of the sessions and the form your treatment will take.

Contract for Action

We will discuss your expectations of the treatment, agree your therapeutic goals and affirm our commitment to achieving them with a full understanding of our respective roles in this.  Each session will commence with a review of progress so far and we will discuss whether any modifications to the treatment plan are needed

The Treatment

This is the part of the session where you will go into hypnosis and I will offer positive suggestions to your sub-conscious to address the issue. The treatment may include Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and dual attention therapies (EMT, EMDR, Foveal Focus Deconstruction, EFT). If this is the case, I will explain, in advance, the reason and therapeutic benefits of including these in your treatment.

Homework

I may ask you to carry out a task before our next session. This could be any one of a range of things from self-hypnosis (which I would teach you in advance), to undertaking a visualisation exercise, a physical task, or keeping a note of thoughts or symptoms.
