Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Clinical Supervision

Services Offered

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is the clinical application of hypnosis to assist clients to resolve problems arising from habits, maladaptive behaviours, pain (under medical supervision) and psychosomatic medical conditions. It can also be used to assist clients in maximising potential in settings such as work and sport. Hypnotherapy alone is not suitable to deal with deep psychological issues or psychiatric illness (see psychotherapy below).

These descriptions are purely for information only; you will not have to choose a particular approach as I will select the most appropriate approaches once I understand your issues and goals through consultation.

Analytical Hypnotherapy

Sometimes clients are unsure of why they have a particular problem or cannot achieve a goal. It can then be useful to use analytical age regression techniques to have a look back and discover what occurred in the past that has lead to the current situation.

There are a few critical factors in analytical hypnotherapy:

· Causes are often in childhood, and re-examining them with your adult mind can help resolution
· You may or may not already be aware of the cause; even if you are you may not realise all the factors involved and analysis can help you get a clearer more complete picture
· There is no need to “re-experience” bad times: it can be as though you are simply observing

Hypnotherapy is completely natural and safe. There are no harmful side-effects. When administered by a professionally trained and skilled Hypnotherapist the benefits are long lasting and often permanent.

Hypno-Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is defined by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy as a process “to help clients gain insight into their difficulties or distress, establish a greater understanding of their motivation, and enable them to find more appropriate ways of coping or bring about changes in their thinking and behaviour. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and relevant events, sometimes from childhood and personal history, in a structured way.”

Hypno-psychotherapy is the clinical application of hypnosis to enhance psychotherapeutic interventions. Hypno-psychotherapists should be trained at masters level and are trained to deal with deep psychological issues and psychiatric illness. Su is trained to this level.

Clinical Supervision

In most forms of therapy it is mandatory for therapists to have regular supervision. This involves them discussing their cases with a qualified supervisor, with the purpose of ensuring that the therapist is offering the best possible service to their clients.

Supervisors can often add an extra dimension to therapy by highlighting patterns of work that the therapist might have been unaware of, and assisting with potential problems.

Su is a qualified hypnotherapeutic supervisor, and also is committed to receiving her own regular supervision.

Currently Su has vacancies for one to one supervision for either hypnotherapists or hypno-psychotherapists, which are available as face to face, telephone or skype meetings.
