WHAT HYPNOTHERAPY ACTUALLY IS
Hypnotherapy can sound a bit mysterious… but it’s actually something you already do every day.
It’s a natural state your mind goes in and out of.
Just like that feeling when you’re driving and suddenly realise you don’t remember the last 10 minutes.
Or when you’re completely absorbed in a film or scrolling your phone and everything else fades out.
That’s hypnosis.
Which is why it feels so familiar when you experience it properly because your mind already knows how to go there.
WHY YOU CAN “KNOW” SOMETHING… BUT NOT FEEL IT
Here’s the part that matters for you:
You’ve got your conscious mind and this is your logic. It’s the part that says:
“I can trust him”
“This relationship is different”
“I know I’m safe”
And then there’s your subconscious mind and this is where your beliefs live.
Your past experiences in love and childhood.
Your emotional patterns around love.
And it’s powerful because its job is to keep you safe.
So if at any point your subconscious has learnt that love isn’t fully safe, it doesn’t matter how good things look on paper....
Part of you is still scanning and bracing for when that changes.
That’s why it can feel like a constant tug of war:
One part of you wants the relationship but the other part doesn’t fully trust it.
WHY THIS DOESN’T SHIFT WITH “JUST THINKING DIFFERENTLY”
You might have already tried:
-
Talking it through
-
Journalling
-
Telling yourself to “stop overthinking”
-
Reminding yourself everything is okay
And it might help briefly, but it doesn’t last because your subconscious has a filter.
It only accepts what already feels true to it (even if that's different to what you logically know).
So if deep down you don’t feel safe in love, your subconscious won't let it go.
HOW HYPNOTHERAPY CHANGES THIS
When you’re guided into hypnosis, that filter softens and opens so we can speak with your subconscious.
And this is where the real work happens.
We gently work with your subconscious to help it see you are safe, worthy and loveable.
So it knows it doesn't need to live in fear of you being hurt anymore.
And that means…
You feel steady, calm and grounded in your relationship.
Secure when you're with a healthy, loving partner without needing to check or prove it.
At ease enough to actually relax into your relationship so it feels like a safe place.
You trust what you feel and are able to be fully present without holding parts of yourself back.
When your subconscious feels safe in love, all of this is finally possible.
HYPNOTHERAPY FAQS
Does it work online?
Yes and it works beautifully. You’re in your own space, completely comfortable and all you need is to hear my voice guiding you. My clients use either a laptop, tablet or their phone to connect to our sessions.
What if I can’t go into hypnosis?
You already can; it’s a natural state your mind enters every day. I simply guide you into it and my clients always find it so much easier than they expect. One of the most lovely parts of it is how peaceful it feels which is often such a welcome shift after years of feeling on edge.
Will I lose control?
No, you’re aware the whole time. It feels like being deeply connected to yourself where you finally have the answers to everything that previously felt confusing. You feel relaxed and focused and aware of the space around you.
What if I don’t know why I feel this way?
You don’t need to, we'll uncover that together and your subconscious already holds the answers. We just access them in a way that finally makes sense and allows us to change what’s been keeping you stuck.
What if I’ve never told anyone this before?
That’s so much more common than you think. I’m often the first person my clients have shared these things with and it can feel daunting, but there’s something really powerful about finally saying it out loud.
And one thing to know about me is that I’ll always meet you with understanding, warmth and zero judgement.
