HYPNOTHERAPY

Practitioner

Marilyn Upton

Brief explanation about the therapy

It is the use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes.  It takes the client into a state of heightened awareness and relaxation.  They can then open their minds to beneficial suggestions and the therapist can help then make use of their imagination to help bring about positive change in their life.

What can the client expect at the appointment

At the first appointment the client will have the chance to explain what it is that they want to change.  Marilyn will explain fully how Hypnotherapy can do this, and will take a history of the problem.

What will happen in a session

In nearly every session there is a relaxation time, which is very pleasant and helps a client move forward.  Also the client and Marilyn discuss the client's issue.

How many sessions should the client need before they see a result

Six sessions are often adequate for a complete change to take place but sometimes the client requests more than that for some ongoing support.
