Hypnotherapy in East Sussex

Clinical studies continue to prove that the combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and clinical hypnosis is the most effective treatment for a wide range of emotional and psychological problems. Compared to many 'talking' therapies, treatment lasts a matter of weeks rather than years.

It's All About 'Self-Talk'
Loss of a job, divorce, or failure to achieve some cherished goal - such setbacks can lead to lasting, overwhelming feelings of sadness and depression. Or it may be that lack of self-confidence or low self-esteem prevent you from having successful relationships or getting ahead in your career. For some, anxiety, stress, fears or phobias may make life a misery.

All these problems have in common the learned habit of holding negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves and our lives which affect our behaviour and our feelings - in other words, the way we think, our unhelpful 'self-talk', ensures that we can't move forward.

Just as the words we use when speaking to others will influence their feelings about us and their behaviour towards us, so the way we 'talk' to ourselves influences our own feelings and behaviour - and the result can be positive or negative.


Can We Change?
The good news is that in a remarkably short time, we can learn to change our self-talk - we can make it work for us rather than against us.

Cognitive behavioural techniques allow you to uncover any unhelpful or unrealistic thoughts or beliefs (cognitions) you may be holding; they allow you to set the goals for your therapy; and they give you the skills to develop more constructive ways of thinking about yourself and your life. As we work through this process together, it enables me to tailor your hypnotherapy precisely to meet your needs and goals. Hypnosis accesses the deepest part of the mind so that you absorb positive suggestions for change and most importantly, you feel empowered to act on those suggestions. This combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and clinical hypnosis can produce rapid, powerful and lasting results.

Imagine

being able to stop self-defeating thoughts instantly

developing the habit of constructive, helpful ways of thinking

living with inner security and a deep sense of your own self-worth

replacing anxiety with calm self-assurance

All these changes and more are possible with cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy.
