Hello, I’m Emma, a registered clinical hypnotherapist based on the outskirts of Exeter, Devon. I hold the General Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice (GQHP) together with a diploma in hypnotherapy and certificate in hypnotherapy for children.

During my time working for the NHS, predominantly in children services, it became apparent to me that both adults and children face challenges on a daily basis. Whether this is anxiety, low self-esteem, phobias or behavioural issues, we can all struggle internally to find the answers we need.

With all the therapies that are available it can be overwhelming and confusing making the right decision for you. Hypnotherapy is a gentle therapy that is entirely client led. I will work in collaboration with you, or your child, to empower the freedom to choose your own path.

Hypnosis is a state of mind not body. The deep relaxed state you enter is often compared to the act of daydreaming, it allows the conscious mind to quieten down, allowing access to the sub-conscious.

People often find themselves in this trance like state when participating in activities such as reading a favourite book, watching waves lap up on a beach, or entranced by a crackling fire. We all experience this hypnotic trance during every day, mundane activities such as driving a familiar route home. In this hypnotic state the person is very relaxed and unaware of their surroundings. This opens up the mind to suggestion from others, a process that a hypnotherapist uses to guide the client effortlessly to find their own solutions.

This trance like state that hypnotherapists encourage cannot be reached unwillingly. The client is always in full control and often generates suggestions within their own mind. Clients use their imagination, forming images and feelings, thus enhancing the ability to achieve positive outcomes. Hypnotherapy allows for the sub-conscious mind to be open to suggestion and therefore allows for guidance to the appropriate solutions. This process is often referred to as self-hypnosis.
