I am Martin Butler, a fully qualified and registered hypnotherapist.
My approach is to use a combination of hypnotherapy and NLP treatments to provide positive transformations in the lives of my clients. As a result, I have successfully facilitated change in the lives of many people for the better, using hypnosis. After a career in technology, I was looking for a more fulfilling new direction - something which allowed me to both help people and use my soft skills. I chose hypnotherapy because it had worked quickly to overcome my own issues where other therapies had shown little or no progress. I hold a Diploma in Hypnotherapy and the General Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice. I'm also registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register and the National Guild of Hypnotists. |
About Hypnotherapy
Answers to the key questions.
How does hypnosis work?
Hypnosis works by guiding a person into a trance-like state where the conscious mind is relaxed, allowing the subconscious mind to become more open to suggestions. We then communicate directly with the subconscious mind, facilitating change in perceptions, feelings, and behaviour. Hypnosis enables rapid positive changes to be made.
How does hypnosis feel?
Many people report feeling deeply relaxed, calm, and focused. Some may feel a sense of detachment or heightened awareness, while others may feel as if they are daydreaming. It is not sleep, and you will remain conscious throughout and be able to recall what happened.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Most people can be hypnotized, although the level of susceptibility varies from person to person. Daydreaming is a form of hypnosis.
Is hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is safe when conducted by a trained professional. It is impossible to get "stuck" in a state of hypnosis.
Hypnosis is not a substitute for conventional medical treatment for serious mental or physical health conditions.
Can hypnosis make you do things against your will?
Hypnosis cannot make you do anything against your moral or ethical beliefs. While in a hypnotic state, you remain aware and in control, and you cannot be compelled to act against your will.
What is the difference between stage hypnosis and therapeutic hypnosis?
Stage hypnosis is performed for entertainment purposes and often involves participants performing humorous or exaggerated actions. Therapeutic hypnosis, also known as hypnotherapy, is used as a treatment to help individuals achieve specific goals such as overcoming addiction or reducing anxiety.
How many sessions of hypnosis are typically needed for it to be effective?
The number of sessions required can vary depending on the individual's needs and the issue being addressed. Some people may experience significant benefits after just one session, while others might need multiple sessions over a period of weeks or months.
Is hypnosis similar to meditation?
Hypnosis and meditation share similarities in that both involve deep relaxation and focused attention. However, hypnosis is typically guided by a hypnotherapist and is goal-oriented, while meditation is often a self-directed practice aimed at achieving a state of mindfulness or inner peace.
Can hypnosis be done remotely?
Hypnosis can be conducted remotely via video calls or telephone. We offer online sessions, which can be just as effective as in-person sessions.
