How does Counselling work?
Working
with a professional counsellor gives each client the opportunity
to explore any difficulties she or he may be experiencing.
The
trained counsellor in non judgmental
and will not give advice.
The
counsellor will support the client through changes they may
want to make in their lives, for whatever reason.

How does Hypnotherapy work?
There
may be a certain variation amongst therapists but most hypnotherapy
involves the following process:
The
client is led by the therapist’s guiding voice into a
state of body and mind relaxation and the client will feel
very relaxed but incontrol and able to work with the therapist
to produce beneficial changes.
The
outcome of each session cannot however be predetermined and
hypnotherapy should be seen as a way of supporting the client
and not as a ‘cure’.
