Can
hypnosis help me?
Hypnotherapy will almost certainly be able to help
anyone who wishes to improve their performance or change
their behaviour in some way. It is particularly
effective at reducing stress or anxiety, and for
overcoming irrational fears and phobias. But you do not
have to have a "problem" to benefit from hypnosis - we can all sometimes use a little help to boost our
motivation to achieve a personal goal. Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) provides a proven and effective method
of "rehearsing" a desired behaviour in certain
circumstances, so that when that situation arises in
real life the mind already knows how to respond. This
can help improve behaviour in general (such as managing
anger or stress) or in specific circumstances (such as
examinations or a driving test). The human mind learns
very rapidly, and a behaviour that has been rehearsed
mentally will quickly become the natural response in
real life. The foundation weight-loss programme aims to
instil behaviour changes that will allow weight to be
lost easily, naturally and permanently.

If hypnosis is so wonderful,
why does anyone have any problems?
Hypnotherapy is not a magic wand. The single most
important ingredient for success is the client’s own
motivation. Indeed, you can only gain from hypnosis if
you really want to achieve your objective. That is why
Blue Skies places considerable importance upon
techniques that increase motivation and determination,
because if you want something enough, then you will
achieve it. At the same time, we identify those
resources that a client will need to succeed, and
rediscover them within. The human mind is
extraordinarily resilient and resourceful and we all
have within us the strength, courage and determination
we need in our day-to-day lives. Sometimes our
self-esteem and self-belief can be dented by events in
our lives. At Blue Skies we boost self-esteem and
self-confidence so that clients really believe in
themselves and their ability to achieve their goals.
What can I expect from Blue
Skies?
Blue Skies Hypnotherapy recognises the need for client
and therapist to work together and so you are guaranteed
courteous and empathetic treatment. An initial
consultation usually takes about 20 minutes; it will be
conducted in absolute confidentiality and is free of
charge. At the end of the consultation the therapist and
client will decide whether or not to proceed. Sometimes
therapy can begin immediately, and sometimes not. All
charges are in the open before therapy begins. Sessions
are as long as they need to be and so vary in length,
but are usually between 75 minutes and 2 hours long.
Many people find that when an issue is shared with a
therapist it somehow seems reduced in size and more
manageable. At Blue Skies one of our aims is to make the
whole experience rewarding and fulfilling for the
client. The therapist is on the General Hypnotherapy
Register and subscribes to its Code of Ethics. For
further information visit the
General
Hypnotherapy Register website. At Blue Skies, the client’s
psychological well-being is of paramount importance.
