can I change?

Clinical Hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) combine to create the most fantastic, unique and powerful tool for dispelling hard-wired negative behaviours and creating in their place, a positive mindset along with realistic and attainable plans and goals for the future. Below I have listed just a few of the treatable conditions. Check out my ‘about’ and ‘blog’ sections for more specific information and call me to discuss, if you don’t see yours listed.

stress and anxiety

Stress is a normal response to a threatening situation and anxiety is largely caused by worry, but each are driven by the same chemical reaction. Stress is any demand placed on your brain or your body that you struggle to deal with. Hypnotherapy is used to alter the way in which our brain responds to  these external factors.

smoking

Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Results of more than 600 studies of 72,000 people from America and Europe compared various methods of quitting. On average, hypnosis was over three times as effective as nicotine replacement methods and 15 times as effective as trying to quit alone.

fears and phobias

Utilising the power of Rapid Transformational Therapy, (RTT) and incorporating, where appropriate, techniques such as rewind and EMDR along with specific relaxation methods, both clinical hypnotherapy and RTT can be highly effective in helping to overcome phobias. Around 1 in 10 people, according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, suffer this condition. The most common phobias are open spaces and .. yes you got it.. spiders!  The list of phobias hypnotherapy can treat is endless.

When naming my hypnotherapy business, I wanted to convey a sense of calm and grounding. ‘Mind in Motion’ reflects the idea of freeing the mind, like oiling the rusted cogs and gears of a machine, enabling it to move forward smoothly and easily into a state of positivity and calm…

For most of my life, almost 50 years now, I have been struggling with severe anxiety and depression. I never really knew what the root cause was. Jackie helped me to identify the root cause via RTT.

Even though I faced some horrible memories of child abuse, I always felt safe in the therapy.

I have now replaced the inner child that suffered with anxiety with the adult who lives and thrives today and who is good enough and strong enough to face life. It is amazing how I have been totally free of the anxiety and stress since the therapy.
I can’t recommend Jackie enough if you want to face difficulties in your life you have never managed...

frequently asked questions

Yes, everybody is hypnotizable to some extent – some more than others.  Even strong-minded and analytical people are hypnotisable, as they have excellent control and concentration and these elements are extremely important in hypnotherapy. 

Those who would not be recommended to use hypnosis are people who have suffered heart attacks or strokes and people with epilepsy or those suffering from psychosis. 

The answer is that hypnosis probably feels different for everybody. Many hypnotherapists, (researchers & clinicians) use elements of relaxation procedures, so people commonly associate a feeling of relaxation with hypnosis. Different people have all sorts of bodily responses to relaxation instructions – some feel as though their body is very heavy, whereas some can feel very light, almost as if floating. People typically report feeling very focused or absorbed in hypnosis and often, effortlessly so.

In short, no. Despite the word hypnosis being derived from the Greek god of sleep, ‘Hypnos,’ studies have shown that hypnosis and sleep differ. Studies of brain activity have shown that although there are characteristic patterns of brain activity associated with sleep, the same has not been demonstrated in hypnosis. To observers, hypnosis might appear to be like sleep because suggestions of relaxation are commonly given as part of a hypnotic routine, but hypnotised people are in a state more associated with focussed concentration and wakefulness.

No, hypnosis is not in itself a dangerous procedure, but there are concerns that if it is not used properly,  it could lead to negative reactions. It is therefore important that you choose your hypnotherapist carefully, ensuring they are fully qualified and committed to ongoing study and research. The risks associated with hypnosis (as in, participants may very occasionally experience a mild headache) have been shown not to differ from those associated with attending a university lecture (Lynn, 2000).

Absolutely not! You can’t be made to do anything you don’t want to do in hypnosis because at all times, you retain power over your ability to act upon suggestions.

There is no evidence that anybody can become stuck in hypnosis. The worst that might happen could be that you fall asleep, but even in sleep it is understood that hypnosis can be subliminally absorbed!If the hypnotherapist were to walk out of the room, whilst you were in the hypnotic trance, after a short time with no input, you would come to naturally, and feel no ill effects.
