What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is often manifested as a natural state of deep relaxation and concentration with heightened awareness, although it does not have to be complete relaxation. You are not asleep nor is there any possibility you would lose control. It uses the subconscious to enhance the power of the mind to aid the improvement of both your physical and mental health.
Please see History of Hypnosis for more information about hypnosis throughout history.
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the application of therapy while in hypnosis, to change or modify behaviour patterns that we wish to change such as Smoking, Gambling, and Binge Eating, and help in the cure of phobias such as the fear of spiders/insects, fear of flying, fear of injections, etc. Hypnotherapy is very effective in helping with Stress, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Weight Loss, and a great many more of life's problems (Many of which are losted below).
We always do what our subconscious mind tells us even if it goes against reason and logic. Hypnotherapy therefore bypasses the conscious mind to allow the positive life affirming suggestions for change, of our own choosing, to be fed to our subconscious mind directly, for us to act upon. Hypnotherapy deals with Psychosomatic problems – that is, problems of the mind that are rooted in and controlled by the subconscious

What is Psychotherapysychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a therapy that involves the examination of behaviour and it requires action or work to solve problems. Behaviour can be said to be anything we do. It can be any action, any thought or thought pattern, what you may say, a memory, a sensation or an emotion. Work is in fact anything we do that requires some degree of effort and this therapy requires the cooperation, desire and work of the client. This includes changing any behaviour, habits or usual actions causing problems, restrictions or distress in life.
Psychotherapy and Counselling have a great deal in common but counselling is not the same as psychotherapy. Counselling usually brings about a realization, or helps a person to reach a decision. A Psychotherapist helps or facilitates as you create changes in your personal environment that bring about changes you desire in your life.
Psychotherapeutic techniques and approaches make up the bulk of the 'therapy' used within the practice of Clinical Hypnotherapy.
