Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a natural state of awareness.
Hypnotherapy dates back to the Greeks and Romans. In 1955 the British Medical Association officially recognised hypnosis as a legitimate therapeutic technique, it is now increasingly an accepted part of conventional medicine.
It is estimated that more than 75% of modern illnesses are stress induced.

Why hypnotherapy is effective and how it differs from other therapies
During hypnosis the client is in contact with his/her subconscious mind, the seat of all emotion and behavioural problems. Most other forms of therapy are carried out at a conscious level, and the will-power of the conscious mind is small against that of a learned response from the past.
These responses and emotional reactions are a bit like computer programmes which keep running and running, causing the same unpleasant effects, until they are dealt with.
Problems occur when a behaviour pattern or programme is made in response to a situation that originated in the past. Later in life, the situation changes but the behaviour response sometimes does not. As hypnotherapy can help to change that behaviour response on a subconscious level, clients can be freed from long-lasting burdens.
It is now widely accepted by the medical profession that mind and body are closely related. Therefore, any tension or disease in the mind can possibly create tension or disease in the body. As hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind, then psychosomatic and stress-related conditions can be dealt with very effectively.
