Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is effective because it works in the way that the brain naturally works.

The human brain works largely by habit, responding instinctively, according to past experience.

So if a person has had a pleasant experience in a particular place, then visiting or thinking about that place will bring back pleasant memories.

The brain has a natural ability to make and break instinctive, habitual responses.

Hypnotherapy is effective because it utilises the mind's natural method of breaking unwanted habits and creating new habits.

Most people experience hypnotherapy as very pleasant and relaxing.

'Research shows that there is more scientific evidence for hypnotherapy than any other complementary therapy... by using hypnosis people can perform prodigious feats of willpower and self healing'

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP started as a study of excellence, looking at what worked so that other people could learn to do the same.

NLP has now developed into a mix of different skills and approaches that combine to make a powerful and effective approach to therapy.

NLP looks at the habitual patterns (programs) that we create, in the interaction between our brain (neuro), language (linguistic) and body.

NLP has now developed into a range of techniques and skills that have been shown to work quickly for lasting change.
