What is Counselling Hypnotherapy?
Counselling Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that combines traditional counselling techniques with hypnosis. It aims to address both conscious and unconscious (subconscious) aspects/habits of a person's mental and emotional well-being.
Key elements of Counselling Hypnotherapy include:
- Traditional Counselling: This involves techniques like active listening, empathy, tools, resources and providing support.
- Hypnosis: This involves inducing a state of deep relaxation and focus, allowing for exploration of the unconscious mind through the use of personalized story-telling based on notes taken from the clients session(s).
- Integration: The two approaches are integrated to provide a comprehensive and effective therapeutic experience to help the client actualize self-awareness & self-trust.
Benefits of Counselling Hypnotherapy:
