Hypnotherapy with Emma Parnell-Cook

How can hypnotherapy help?

There are many fears and misunderstandings about the use of hypnosis and hypnotherapy, and the myths and mystery that surround it are totally undeserved. What happens in hypnosis is very normal, certainly not magical, and produces positive and predictable results.

Hypnosis is usually induced by the use of the therapist's voice, and although remaining fully aware, you will feel very relaxed. At no time will you "lose control", nor can you be manipulated in any way.

Hypnosis is a totally natural phenomenon, is simply a very comfortable and relaxed state during which it is quite easy to converse sensibly with the therapist. Almost anyone can enter the hypnotic state easily.

Hypnotherapy can help with many issues, some of which could include:

Smoking cessation

Weight loss motivation and weight management

Unwanted habits, such as nail biting

Fears and phobias

Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCDs)

Stress and anxiety

Depression

Grief and bereavement

Motivation

Pain and illness, such as IBS

Regression

Past life regression

Relationship and sexual issues

Confidence and self esteem

Sport motivation to reach peak performance

Nerves (exams, driving tests etc)

Addictions, such as gambling

Public speaking

It would be impossible to list all the issues that could be helped with hypnotherapy, so if you have a concern that is not shown, please do get in touch. I will be happy to chat with you to see if hypnotherapy, or indeed NLP or TFT can help.

Smoking Cessation

I am passionate about helping clients to stop smoking and have a high success rate. I am also a member of the National Smoking Cessation Institute, and work closely with their clients to help them stop smoking.

I run a two-session smoking cessation course, although the habit should be broken after the first session. Some hypnotherapists offer a smoking cessation service in one hour. And some of them are successful. However, it is important to me that the client not only stops smoking permanently, but that they don't adopt alternative habits to replace the smoking. By inviting the client to a second session, normally a week later, we can discuss how they are coping with not smoking, alleviating any areas of discomfort if there are any, and rectifying any negative habits they may have started as a result of stopping smoking, such as eating more than usual. I am also able to consolidate all of the new behaviours to allow the client to continue to be a non smoker for the rest of their life.

Contraindications of Hypnotherapy

If you suffer from epilepsy, schizophrenia or clinical depression, you should consult your GP before approaching a hypnotherapist.
