The Broad Street Practice

Hypnotherapy

There are many different forms of hypnotherapy where hypnosis is the tool.

  • Fees - see our fee schedule [here]

Hypnosis is simply the tool a therapist uses to carry out the therapy. The therapy will vary according to the problem you have and to a certain extent the therapist whom you choose to see, as all therapists tend to work in slightly different ways.

Here at the Broad Street Practice, our husband and wife team, Shirley and Peter Balfe will usually use just two types of therapy.

SUGGESTION THERAPY

  • Smoking cessation
  • Nail biting
  • Relaxation and sleep assistance
  • Driving test and exam nerves

Whilst in the relaxing state of hypnosis, powerful positive suggestions are given to the client which will change the behaviour pattern in that person, so that they no longer smoke cigarettes or bite their nails etc. Results are achieved in one or maybe two sessions maximum, and a back-up CD is often supplied.

PURE HYPNOANALYSIS

Pure hypotherapy is a unique therapy which aims to treat the cause of a problem and not just the symptoms. In fact any problem which is not habit-based but has a root cause. Surely we need to ask ourselves why do we have the problem in the first place?

  • Phobias/Anxiety/Panic attacks
  • Depression
  • Low self-confidence/self-esteem
  • Irritable bowel syndrome and much more.

Pure hypnoanalysis is a very gentle but powerful approach which uncovers ‘trapped’ emotions within us which need to be resolved, thus making the symptom/problem redundant. An average analysis takes about eight or nine sessions.

Hypnosis for Childbirth Courses – These courses are very popular for mums who want to have as natural a childbirth experience as possible. Courses usually start at about 30 weeks. Mums-to-be are taught self-hypnosis, relaxation and anaesthesia techniques so that they can control their own pain. To find out more ring and book a free chat.

Hypnosis is a natural phenomenon. We all go in and out of hypnosis on a regular basis throughout the day. Day-dreaming, being miles away, ‘losing’ part of your car journey to work, are all examples of natural hypnosis. All the therapist does is make the state happen when it is required during the session. There are no swinging watches or whirling machines. We simply talk to you in a very calm quiet voice whilst you are relaxing in the chair with your feet up. What could be nicer?

 

HYPNOTHERAPY FEES  

Everyone is offered a free one hour initial consultation which is your chance to come along and have a chat. You will be given the opportunity to discuss your problem in more detail and the treatments, times and costs will be explained to you. There is of course no obligation on your part.
