You remain aware, involved and in control throughout your hypnotherapy session.
Hypnotherapy, simply explained
Hypnotherapy combines therapeutic conversation with a state of focused attention and relaxation. The aim is to create an environment in which you can explore patterns, thoughts and responses with greater focus.
Understanding hypnotherapy
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses hypnosis alongside appropriate therapeutic techniques. Hypnosis is often described as a state of focused attention in which you may feel deeply relaxed while remaining aware of what is happening around you.
During this focused state, therapeutic suggestions, imagery and conversation may be used to help you explore the changes you would like to make.
Every person's experience is different. Some people describe feeling deeply relaxed, while others simply notice that their attention has become more focused.
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. You do not surrender control,
and you can speak, move or end the process whenever you choose.
Areas of support
What might hypnotherapy help you explore?
Hypnotherapy may be considered for a range of personal goals and emotional wellbeing concerns. Suitability is always discussed individually before treatment begins.
Anxiety
Supporting relaxation, emotional regulation and more helpful ways of responding to anxious thoughts.
Confidence
Exploring self-beliefs and developing a more constructive and confident internal response.
Habits
Understanding unwanted patterns and supporting the development of different responses and behaviours.
Fears & Phobias
Exploring fearful responses and working towards feeling more confident and in control.
Relaxation
Learning ways to slow down, focus attention and create space for greater calm.
Emotional Wellbeing
Exploring emotional patterns and supporting greater understanding, resilience and self-awareness.
Personal Change
Working towards an individual goal where hypnotherapy is considered appropriate for your circumstances.
A common misconception
Hypnosis does not mean losing control
Stage hypnosis and television can sometimes create an unrealistic impression of hypnosis. Therapeutic hypnosis is very different. You remain an active participant throughout the process.
✓
You remain conscious and aware of the session.
✓
You can speak or communicate at any time.
✓
You cannot be forced to do something against your wishes.
✓
You remain involved in decisions about your therapy.
✓
You may stop the process whenever you choose.
Your session
What happens during hypnotherapy?
Standard hypnotherapy sessions are approximately 50–60 minutes. Your session is personalised rather than following one fixed script or formula.
Before therapeutic work begins, Hajra will take time to understand what you would like support with and whether hypnotherapy is appropriate for your circumstances.
01
Conversation
Your session begins with a discussion about how you are feeling, your goals and anything relevant since your previous appointment.
02
Focused relaxation
You will be guided towards a comfortable state of focused attention and relaxation.
03
Therapeutic work
Appropriate therapeutic techniques are used in relation to the goals and issues you have agreed to explore.
04
Return and reflection
The focused work is brought to a close gradually, with time to reflect on the session before finishing.
Deeper therapeutic work
Advanced Age Regression Therapy
Advanced Age Regression Therapy is intended for deeper therapeutic exploration where it is considered appropriate.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms appearing in the present, this approach may involve exploring experiences, associations and patterns that could help provide greater understanding of the underlying issue.
A more in-depth approach
Because this work may involve deeper exploration, Advanced Age Regression Therapy can require additional time compared with a standard 50–60 minute hypnotherapy session. Its suitability would always be considered carefully before proceeding.
Suitability and safety
Is hypnotherapy right for me?
Hypnotherapy is not automatically appropriate for every person, concern or circumstance. This is why Hajra begins with a free 15-minute consultation before inviting you to proceed.
Your wellbeing comes first
Hajra will consider your needs, relevant health information and current circumstances before deciding whether hypnotherapy appears appropriate and within her professional scope of practice.
Working alongside healthcare
Hypnotherapy does not replace medical diagnosis, treatment or advice. You should continue to follow guidance from your GP, consultant or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
