Clinical Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a natural state which we often enter whilst driving or watching television. It is merely a state of focused relaxation where the mind can ignore outside influences and concentrate fully on the self. Deep relaxation enables the mind to be accessed to bring about the appropriate change, learning or healing process. When using hypnosis you are in control and always totally aware, just very relaxed.

You are allowing your own body to restore and heal itself when you use hypnosis, as all it really does is allow you to pay full attention to yourself and what your body is trying to tell you.

For infertility it can:

• Help unblock unconscious reasons why conception isn’t occurring
• Assist physiological processes to be restored such as ovulation or increased luteal phase 
• Assist the body and mind to use prescribed fertility drugs for any treatment such as In Vitro Fertilisation
• Allow women to change their attitude to a more calm and positive one
• Improve sperm quality for men by reducing stress and boosting the immune system

and much much more

During our session you will still be able to talk to me and you will have full control over what you choose to tell me. I will also teach you how to use self hypnosis at home so that you can gain lifelong benefits from many of the techniques you have learnt.

How do I ‘hypnotise’ you?

I am able to adapt techniques to suit the individual. An example of how a session works is that I will talk you through a relaxation exercise whereby I ask you to close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing for a while, suggesting that breathing out can release tension. I then go through your whole body talking each part down so that it feels comfortable and relaxed. I will then count from ten to one and you will gradually find that as the numbers pass you get progressively more comfortable and relaxed. I will generally then start asking you to imagine yourself somewhere pleasant and comforting.

This may be a place you have already been to or an imaginary place. This will deepen your concentration and we can move on to work towards the goals already discussed and I can suggest ways to rectify situations based on my medical and therapeutic skills as a nurse and fertility practitioner. As the client you can then have input as to which direction the session goes.

Surprised there are no pendulums? It really is that simple, but so so powerful. Your subconscious mind controls the way in which your body processes function, so the more you are in tune with this part of your mind the more you are helping yourself to feel better and to become empowered. Sometimes this is all that is needed to modify an abnormal menstrual cycle. You really are able to influence the way in which your body responds.
