concentration. We will not lose awareness or control, in fact our awareness
is heightened.

therapies:

used to help with problems such as smoking, pre-test nerves, nail biting,
pain etc. It makes use of the mind’s heighten awareness and suggestibility
to beneficial suggestions in order to make changes. This type of therapy generally
requires one or two sessions.

involves the use of modern methods which help a large range of symptoms. This
therapy is concerned with helping people achieve what they want to achieve
in life. In solution oriented hypnosis we are It is particularly helpful with
confidence and self-esteem problems, and change can often be achieved rapidly.

(if necessary in conjunction with medication) in the treatment of Depression
and Anxiety disorders (including) panic attacks , agoraphobia etc concerned
with awakening abilities that appear beyond the persons deliberate control.
Analytical therapy: this is used, combined
with brief therapy techniques, when it is felt to be appropriate to deal with
problems originating in the past.

aims to reveal this cause and then by dealing with it in many possible ways
to remove the harmful effects.
The use of CD’s is an integral part of the therapy.

and your needs. Each session costs £50.The length of treatment might
range from three sessions for minor phobias to perhaps 10,hour-long sessions
for some one who is clinically depressed
