HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnotherapy is a mind-body intervention in which hypnosis is used to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility in the treatment of a medical or psychological disorder or concern. Hypnosis will lead you into a deeply relaxed state, use your agreed methods to help you towards your goals (for example, suggesting that you do not want to carry out a certain habit). During Hypnosis you will be in a trance state, remain awake, be aware of your surrounding, and what is happening. It is important to note that you will remain in control and can end the trance/session at any time.
Session; (1-2 hours)
COACHING
The essence of coaching is to help you change in the way you wish and guide you in the direction you want to go. Coaching can support you at every level in becoming who you want to be, builds awareness, empowers choice and leads to change. Put simply, coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the 'here and now' rather than on the distant past or future. Coaching can help you to identify skills to be developed, key strengths, and strategies for improvement, it is dilemma specific and goal focussed.
Sessions; (1-2 hours)
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on negative thoughts, feelings and behaviour cycles that cause distress. CBT is a structured approach and is aimed at particular problems. Often, intervention can be brief or take place over a longer period (up to 20 sessions) depending on the nature of the problem. CBT has a strong evidence base for effectiveness and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends CBT for Depression, Anxiety, Panic, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) among other problems.
