My name is Elizabeth and I live and practise in Mid Cornwall. During the past few years I have furthered my life-long interest in hypnosis and healing by training with the South West School of Clinical Hypnotherapy. Since I gained my diploma in Hypnotherapy ‘with excellence' I have completed modules at the Advanced Level in Depression and OCD. Considering my career in Education I have recently completed further training in ‘Hypnotherapy with Children' with the Academy of Clinical and Medical Hypnosis Ltd. The tutor Carol Wan, currently practises at Great Ormond Street hospital. My membership of the HA is dependent on Continuing Professional Development and Supervision by an appropriately qualified professional. This ensures my commitment to Professional Competency. I am an ethical, professional practitioner, committed to each client as an individual as I have been throughout my professional life in Education.
Hypnosis is a natural, safe state of deep relaxation. It is an intermediate state between sleep and wakefulness. It is a fact that most of us actually experience this state several times a day as, both daydreaming and the period when you are drifting off to sleep, are periods when you are in a light ‘trance'. As you relax even more you will be encouraged to focus on pleasant sensations that help you feel safe and relaxed. It is in this relaxed state of consciousness that your unconscious mind becomes receptive to positive suggestions. Effective and long lasting changes are made, often very quickly.
Children and Hypnotherapy:
Children are, mostly, very open to hypnotherapy and, as many of the younger ones have not seen stage hypnosis they have no preconceived ideas about the process. The more fun we can engage in with the younger children the more comfortable and successful the treatment will be. Parents/Carers are welcome to stay with the child. Sessions with children are, on the whole, shorter than those with adults and each session is less structured, with children using their vivid imaginations with ease.
The ‘Solution-Focused Approach' with children takes a forward looking approach. It is very safe and normally brings very positive results.
Examples of treatments (some of these are specifically adults and others appropriately children's therapies) include:
Anxiety/Self Esteem, Assertiveness, Behaviour Issues, Being Bullied, Confidence, Emotional well-being, Exam nerves, Fears/Phobias, Grief and Mourning, Guided relaxation, Habit Disorders, Learning and Performance, Nocturnal Enuresis, Obsessive thoughts and Compulsive Actions, Pain Management, Relationship Issues, Separation Anxiety, Sleep Disorders .
These are examples of areas which respond well to hypnotherapy – the list is by no means exhaustive. Please ask about any issue that concerns you. .
