Karen Dess, Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapy is a relaxed state of focused awareness. As you go into a trance you will feel your body relax and your mind let go of all tension and stress, but you will remain responsive and will be able to hear and react as you chose throughout the experience. As you begin to relax into a trance you will feel a sensation that is very much like the feeling of comfort you get right before you drift into sleep.

All that is required is the ability to follow instructions. This powerful yet gentle tool can be used to assist anyone aged 8 and onwards.

I have had particular success with the following complaints:

• Confidence
  
• Life Direction
  
• Weightloss
  
• Stop Smoking
  
• Relationships
  
• Anxiety
  
• Relationships
  
• Fears and Phobias
  
• Emotional Traumas
  
• Depression
  
• Habits
  
• IBS
  
• Nail Biting
  
• Concentration and many others.

I can help you to achieve all of the following, and more:

• Improve your self esteem
  
• Manage your weight effectively
  
• Control stress
  
• Overcome phobias
  
• Reduce Pain
  
• Improve Sleep Patterns

• Deal with Sexual Concerns
  
• Gain more Confidence
  
• Experience a Positive and Enjoyable Labour and Birth

Would you like to become the best you can be emotionally, mentally and physically?

Session information:

Full First Session (2 hours) - In this session we work together to achieve the following:
• full questionnaire and analysis to establish what is working for you and what is not.
• clarify and define your goals and establish the outcomes you want.
• form a strategy for you to achieve these outcomes which fits in with your life and lifestyle.
• full session of hypnosis for at least 30 minutes.

Subsequent sessions (60 - 90 minutes) - In these sessions we will continue to work together to remove obstacles and blocks that come up in daily life until you achieve your desired outcome. All sessions include hypnosis.

Introductory Session (75 minutes) - If you're not sure that this process is right for you, you may like to try and introductory session. Here we will conduct a revised questionnaire and analysis to define what is not working for you and clarify and define your goals and establish the outcomes you want. We can then form a possible strategy for you to achieve these goals should you continue working with me. There is no hypnosis in an introductory session.
