Hypnotherapy and NLP coaching work well together.  Many people will have a broad idea of what hypnotherapy is but allow me to answer some of the questions asked frequently.    

What is hypnotherapy/hypnosis? 

It is a natural state of focus and relaxation during which suggestions are made to create beneficial changes in ideas or behaviour.    Sometimes it will feel like you are daydreaming, sometimes you may remain focused: each person is different.  Most people will remember (most of) what happened during their session(s)

The subconscious mind controls the involuntary functions of the body, including habits and things that we do ‘automatically’ – it is fuelled by our emotions and imagination.  It also contains memories of every single thing that has occurred to us.

In hypnosis the mind is very receptive to new ideas and open to suggestions which encourage more balanced attitudes to reality.

Hypnotherapy and/or NLP coaching is ideal state for enhancing creativity and is also often used in sport psychology to bring the best out of athletes. 

FAQ relating to hypnosis.

Q. Can anyone be hypnotised?
A. Most people can, providing they are able to understand the things they have to do in order to achieve this state.

Q. Can I be made to say or do anything against my will whilst I’m in hypnosis?
A. No. Clinical hypnosis is not the same as stage hypnosis. You are free to accept or reject any suggestions made. 

Q. Am I aware of what’s happening or being said whilst I’m in the hypnosis state?
A. Yes. You will feel deeply relaxed but will never lose contact with the Hypnotherapist’s voice.

Q. What happens if I don’t come out of trance or something happens to the Hypnotherapist, or we lose connection (online sessions) before I am brought out? 
A. You would simply come out of trance naturally as the rapport would be lost with the Hypnotherapist. No-one has ever been stuck in trance.

Q. Will I be able to drive afterwards?
A. Yes. You will still be feeling relaxed; however, your actions and reactions will be functioning more efficiently.

Q. When I am in hypnosis am I unconscious?
A. No, you are in a state half-way between sleep and wake.

Hypnotherapy puts you in the driver’s seat of your mind and shows you how to work the controls allowing you to become more response-able.

NLP Life Coaching is a transformational methodology that helps you access and mobilise both your internal & external resources towards achieving a desired outcome, leading you towards achieving success. This can be reached through a process of asking specific types of questions rather than advising, instructing or teaching.

Here is a part of the basic Framework of NLP

• The mind has a structure that can be mapped. The map is not the territory.  Our perception of reality is not reality itself.
• Mind and body are not separate, they are part of the one system.
• There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.
• There are no mistakes, only results.
• People are not broken - they work perfectly. They do not need to be fixed, we just need to find a solution.
• If your beliefs limit you, then change your beliefs.
• Every behaviour has a positive intention. The intention needs to be acknowledged.
• If someone else can do it, then it is possible that others can too.
• People have all the resources necessary to make any change.
• People make the best choices given the resources available to them.
