Hypnotherapy is a valuable treatment for many symptoms and problems. It allows you to access your inner strength and resources. Our clients have seen just how powerful & effective this therapy is, and the feedback we receive from our clients is extremely effective empowering and rewarding.
Hypnotherapy is a type of complementary therapy that uses hypnosis, an altered state of consciousness. Hypnosis is widely promoted as a treatment for various long-term conditions and for breaking certain habits.
In a hypnotherapy session you are always in control and you are not made to do anything. It is generally accepted that all hypnosis is ultimately self-hypnosis. A hypnotist helps to facilitate your experience – hypnotherapy is not about being made to do things, in fact it is the opposite, it is about empowerment and altering behaviours that cause you difficulties in life.
We are trained therapists specialising in weight loss and gastric band hypnotherapy
How does Hypnotherapy work?
Hypnosis is thought to work by altering our state of consciousness in such a way that the analytical left-hand side of the brain is turned off, while the non-analytical right-hand side is made more alert. The conscious control of the mind is inhibited, and the subconscious mind awoken.
As the subconscious mind is a deeper-seated and more instinctive force than the conscious mind, this is the part which has to change for the clients behaviour and physical state to change.
For example, a client who consciously wants to overcome their fear of spiders may try everything they consciously can to do it, but will still fail as long as their subconscious mind retains this terror and prevents the patient from succeeding. Progress can only be made by reprogramming the subconscious so that deep-seated inner instincts and beliefs are altered.
Hypnotherapy is a valuable therapeutic tool looking towards your inner experiences, hypnotherapy amplifies your abilities and empowers you to discover and develop strength in yourself you never knew you had. Hypnotherapy can be used to make a meaningful difference to your life.
When guided into a relaxed state the conscious mind is still engaged and the subconscious mind is also accessed. The subconscious mind is more receptive to the process of change, therefore enabling you to achieve your goals, aspirations and lead a balanced life.

Also at Simply Therapy we specialise in weight loss and have a a licensed Gastric Band Hypno Practitioner. This process is not a diet, through exploring underlying emotions and behaviours attached to food, you are given back the control that was taken away from you.
The Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy is a viable alternative to weight loss surgery. It is 100% safe and results in natural weight loss. Gastric band hypnotherapy is a technique that uses the power of your mind to fit a virtual gastric band to your stomach therefore restricting the volume of food leading to effective, steady weight loss.
Weight loss hypnotherapy sessions may include only if appropriate for you; increasing your metabolism, increasing yourself belief, dispersing your need to comfort eat, decreasing your appetite, portion sizes, using a combination of hypnotherapy & NLP techniques to overcome binge eating. The Therapist will incorporate different techniques if appropriate to help you to achieve your ideal weight & your weight loss goals.
