Hypnotherapy: Unlock the Power of Your Mind
Welcome to the Hypnotherapy space at Nurture from Within — where deep healing, transformation, and empowerment begin within.
What Is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a powerful therapeutic approach that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to reach a natural, heightened state of awareness — often referred to as a trance state. In this calm and receptive state, the conscious mind becomes quiet, allowing access to the subconscious — the part of your mind where patterns, beliefs, memories, and emotions are stored.
Unlike stage hypnosis, clinical hypnotherapy is a safe, evidence-based practice that supports emotional and psychological healing. You remain in control throughout the process, simply guided into a space where your mind is open to new insights, clarity, and positive change.
How Hypnotherapy Helps with Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are subconscious thoughts and assumptions that hold you back — such as “I’m not good enough,” “I’ll never be happy,” or “I don’t deserve love.” These beliefs often form in childhood or after difficult life experiences, and they can influence how you see yourself and the world.
Through hypnotherapy, we bypass the critical, analytical mind and connect directly with the subconscious to:
- Identify and release outdated beliefs
- Reframe inner narratives with empowering truths
- Plant seeds of self-worth, confidence, and possibility
The result? You begin to act, feel, and think in alignment with your full potential.
Healing Trauma with Hypnotherapy
Trauma leaves imprints — not just in the body, but in the mind. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle yet profound way to process and release trauma safely, without re-traumatisation. By working with the subconscious, we can:
- Address root causes of emotional pain
- Reconnect with inner strength and resilience
- Calm the nervous system and restore a sense of safety
- Rewire trauma responses with self-compassion and empowerment
Whether you’ve experienced childhood neglect, abuse, loss, or emotional pain that still affects you today, hypnotherapy can help you reclaim your present and create a new future.

FAQs
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a form of complementary therapy. It uses hypnosis, a natural state of mind that we often experience throughout the day. For example, when we are daydreaming, watching television or reading a book. It is a pleasant, safe practice and feels like deep relaxation.
What’s the initial consultation?
The Initial Consultation is up to 90 minutes. During this time we will talk about your requirements and goals. I will then discuss with you your tailor made programme, including suitable hypnotherapy techniques. The client agreement is completed.
What will happen in a hypnotherapy session?
Your first hypnotherapy session will usually be a week later, following your Initial Consultation. We will begin with a chat to make sure you are comfortable, you’ll be able to put your feet up and relax into a comfortable chair or lie on a couch, with a cosy blanket (or without, whatever suits you best). I will begin the hypnosis with some verbal relaxation, relaxing the mind and body from head to toe. All you need to do is close your eyes and listen as you become deeply relaxed. Then the work begins! I will use the techniques I have discussed with you to help you reach your goals before giving you plenty of time to transition back to wakefulness. At the end of your session we can discuss how you are feeling and look at the progress you have made so far.
Can I easily come out of hypnosis?
Yes. If at any time you wish to come out of Hypnosis, simply open your eyes.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on what the issue is and underlying circumstances. It will be something that we decide together since some situations are very straightforward and only need one session where others can take much longer. As a guide, six sessions is fairly typical but my approach is to see how you feel about the number of Sessions you need from the beginning. I am very flexible though and am happy to offer more sessions, or stop early if you’ve met your goals in fewer sessions than we originally planned.
Can you be forced to be hypnotised?
You can only be hypnotised if you want it, under your own control and cannot be forced to do anything that you do not feel comfortable with.
What does hypnotherapy feel like?
Hypnotherapy is a pleasant feeling of deep relaxation ~ you are in control at all times. Clients experience feelings of deep relaxation on all levels, calmness, strengthening, focus, grounding and peace. Some people visualise beautiful healing colours and feel pleasantly relaxed and distanced from their bodies in a very safe and comfortable way.
How do you put me into hypnosis?
I will guide you into hypnosis using relaxation techniques. There is an induction, deepener and then the prepared script is applied with a gentle awakening at the end of the session.
Do I need to do anything?
During the session, you will be guided in to deep relaxation. You will be given practical tasks to do in between sessions, such as effective breathing techniques and self-hypnosis.
Will I feel differently following the session?
The feedback from my clients is very positive. People often say they have thoroughly enjoyed the Session and feel relaxed and refreshed.
Why should I choose hypnotherapy?
The benefits of receiving Hypnotherapy are amazing. It is a natural, safe practice and can help you in many ways. Often people find that they have struggled for many years with behaviour patterns that stem from childhood, or from a more recent traumatic event, and hypnosis is able to get to the root cause where other methods might only help more superficially.
Will the hynotherapy be linked with my medical records?
Seeking help from a Qualified Hypnotherapist in private practice, is an alternative way of getting help. Sometimes people do not want an issue logged on their medical records. There are however some medical issues where GP approval should be sought. This would only be sought with your approval. In my experience, the GPs I have sought permission from are very supportive of Hypnotherapy and have clearly seen an improvement with their patients.
