The Basics of Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is the art and science of guiding the mind into a deeply relaxed, yet highly focused state of awareness. You might experience it as a sense of calm stillness, daydreaming, or “zoning out” — that peaceful place where your inner world feels more vivid than the outer one.

In this natural state of hypnosis, your conscious mind gently steps aside, allowing direct access to the subconscious — the part of your mind that runs your habits, emotions, and automatic responses. This bypassing of the “critical faculty” (your inner gatekeeper) makes it possible to introduce new, positive suggestions that can rewire old patterns with ease.

At The Hypnosis Clinic, we use a range of gentle and effective techniques to help you enter hypnosis comfortably. Once you’re there, time seems to flow effortlessly, your body relaxes completely, and your mind becomes open to change. It’s safe, soothing, and deeply empowering — like pressing a mental “reset” button for your wellbeing.

The Role of the Subconscious Mind

Your subconscious mind is like a vast and powerful storage system — a personal archive of everything you’ve ever learned, felt, or experienced. It takes care of your automatic processes (like breathing, healing, or digesting food) and your learned skills (like walking, driving, or writing your name).

But it also holds your emotional memories and learned behaviours — even the ones that no longer serve you. This is where habits such as overeating, smoking, anxiety, or insomnia can take root. These patterns aren’t signs of weakness; they’re simply programs that were installed long ago and kept running in the background.

Through hypnotherapy, we access this deeper level of mind and gently rewrite the script. By replacing old, limiting beliefs with empowering ones, you can transform unwanted habits, release fears and phobias, and restore calm to your nervous system.

Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural, and enjoyable process that opens the door to meaningful, lasting change.
It’s not about losing control — it’s about gaining it, in the most positive and life-enhancing way.
