Why have Cognitive Hypnotherapy?

A Cognitive Hypnotherapist acts as a guide to help you find the best way to the solution of your issue - so it's an active collaboration because everyone has everything they need to solve the problem; they just need help finding it.

What is Cognitive Hypnotherapy?

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is designed to treat the person, not the problem. It involves various techniques and creating a hypnotic language pattern based on the information the therapist gets from the client and tailoring their approach individually. Other types of hypnotherapy often use a 'one size/script fits all' approach, which works infrequently and depends on the depth of trance in the client. Cognitive Hypnotherapy listens to the client and finds out how they 'do their problem', it then enables the therapist to use the client's ideas not theirs. This allows the therapist to work very effectively within the client's model of their world. Using an interactive style the therapist can then help them get to where they want to be.

How does Cognitive Hypnotherapy work?

Cognitive Hypnotherapy works on the basis that the client already unconsciously possesses the answers to their own questions and is a process whereby an individual is guided into a trance state for an agreed purpose.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy uses your natural trance states to assist in uncovering the thoughts and memory patterns that led to the problem, and which continue to maintain it. It employs techniques to modify these patterns so that you are able to consciously take control of your behaviour.

A trance state is an altered state of consciousness. Studies show that we are in a trance state as much as 90% of the time. Have you ever driven from one point to another with no memory of how you got there? Been in conversation with a friend and realized that they haven't heard a word you've been saying? If the answer to any of these questions is 'yes', then you have been in or observed a trance in others. It is a naturally occurring state and as such very easy for anyone to achieve

Cognitive Hypnotherapy creates a relaxed state in which mental stress and body tension are reduced. In this relaxed state, the mind is usually more open to the process of change. As such client and therapist can safely work together, to enhance mental, physical and emotional well being that are preventing you living the life you want to live. Whilst in a relaxed state you are still aware of your surroundings and can choose to come out of hypnosis at any time.

Techniques drawn from many areas of psychology are utilised to accomplish this: Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Time Line Reprocessing, to name but a few. Central to our therapeutic arsenal is the revolutionary WordweavingT process of hypnotic language pioneered by Trevor Silvester of the Quest Institute (www.questinstitute.co.uk). This uses the client's own model of the world to effect profound & lasting change at a deep level.
