What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is simply a state of highly focused concentration and heightened awareness. You unknowingly experience this natural state every day. It's just a way of tuning out distracting thoughts, and focusing your attention, just as you do when you're daydreaming, or when totally absorbed in a film, book, TV show, or favourite hobby, or even when driving.

Hypnosis is thought to work by altering your state of consciousness, in such a way that the analytical left-hand side of the brain is quietened down, while the non-analytical right-hand side is made more alert. This allows the unconscious mind to come to the fore, where it is able to accept suggestions more easily. The unconscious mind contains all your memories and experiences, and controls your automatic thoughts and behaviours, and this is the part which has to change for your behaviour and physical state to alter.

What is hypnotherapy?

In hypnotherapy you are guided into hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. It is literally therapy done while in hypnosis and can be thought of as an effective and speedy form of psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy can change your patterns of behaviour and perceptions, enabling irrational fears, phobias, habits, negative thoughts and suppressed emotions to be overcome. With the help of the hypnotherapist, you are able to look at problems differently and maybe discover solutions to problems that had been missed before. Hypnotherapy and NLP can quickly and effectively treat many of the things that you might otherwise have considered visiting a counsellor for, and a lot more.

Using hypnosis to gain access to the unconscious mind allows the therapist to suggest positive and beneficial ideas which become firmly planted in your unconscious. It is also possible to recall and resolve past memories which relate to current blockages. Old, outdated and inappropriate patterns of behaviour can be dropped, in favour of new and more rewarding ways of being.

It is generally assumed that hypnotherapy is limited to dealing with problems such as smoking and excess weight, however a major part of a hypnotherapist's practice is in dealing with such problems as stress, anxiety, panic attacks, as well as physical complaints such as migraine, arthritis, digestive disorders, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and numerous psychosomatic illnesses.


Are there any dangers in hypnosis?

There are no substantiated cases of harm befalling any hypnotised subject. The British Medical Association approved hypnotherapy as a valid medical treatment in 1955 and the American Medical Association followed in 1958.

I practice from my home located in Chorlton-cum-Hardy in South Manchester, close to junction 7 & 8 of the M60 and the end of the M56. Within easy travelling distance of areas in Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire.

 

Booking a Consultation

I offer a 30 minute Initial Consultation. This gives us the chance to discuss your problems further, answer any questions you might have and give you an estimate of the number of sessions you may require. Most specific issues can be very quickly dealt with in around four to six sessions, for more deep rooted or complex problems, seven or more may be required. However as we are all unique individuals, you decide when you have reached resolution. It is always my aim to help you resolve your issues as quickly as possible.

My services can be combined and tailored to your individual or company needs, and range from one to one private therapy or coaching sessions through to group training and workshops.

When you are committed to making the inner changes you need, to achieve the life you want, simply phone me on 0161 881 4333 or to make an appointment now.

Clients' Comments

'A note to thank you for the work you did with me over the past weeks. I feel much more focused, more care free and have a healthy amount of realistic self belief. The last session in particular seemed to clear something much more fundamental than the eating thing.

I think you are a highly skilled and effective practitioner and I count myself as lucky to have come across you. Thank you again. '

Chorlton

'8yrs of prescribed anti-depressants never even scratched the surface of my condition. 4 sessions of NLP empowered me to be my 'true' self and gave me the ability to handle situations which (previously) filled me with anxiety due to low self esteem & a sub-zero confidence level.

My mind is finally a nice place to be thanks to NLP.'

Didsbury

'I saw you just over a year ago to quit smoking. I am no longer an ex-smoker, but a non smoker and have passed the 1 year mark successfully, so thank you for your help with that.'

'Thank you once again for your help with the eating. I feel more relaxed around food and can now make better decisions about what I eat.'

P.

'Nigel's sessions, give a real insight into the powers of hypnotherapy and NLP. His sessions are both friendly & relaxed and have helped me greatly with confidence and agoraphobia problems, allowing me to enjoy parts of my life I once feared. He teaches as well as heals and helps you in self-hypnosis allowing you after your sessions to help yourself.

If you have fears or phobias then his sessions are a must.'


RJ

'A very positive experience in all ways. Many Thanks.
Would recommend it to everyone!'


Dr. B

'Overcame years of food abuse. Made me feel great and calm about my body.'

FT

'I feel much better thank you. I really don't worry about blushing as much as I used to and I do feel like I blush less and am just generally less self conscious about it. Thanks for your time! '
