Hypnotherapy

What is hypnosis?

The experience of hypnosis is rather like a deep state of relaxation. The
conscious mind can interfere less in this altered state and the unconscious
mind (the inner self) can be given beneficial suggestions to help achieve a
goal. Many issues stem from unconscious behavioural patterns. Hypnosis
helps us to utilise the creative potential of our own mind.
