About Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy
 We all enter into natural trance states every day of our lives for example just before going to sleep on as we are waking up. Hypnosis is a little like sleep but is not sleep - you can hear everything that is said and you are in control at all times.
When we are in trance states we can access our unconscious mind more easily and when in a hypnotic trance positive, beneficial suggestions can be given to the unconscious mind to help generate positive changes in our lives. The unconscious mind can be source of many of our issues but can also be source of hidden resources.
You cannot be hypnotised against your will and cannot be made to do anything that you do not wish to do. Suggestions that run against your value or belief systems are automatically rejected. Hypnosis is therefore very safe.
About Clinical Hypnotherapy?
Clinical Hypnotherapy is simply the use of hypnosis to generate positive changes in our lives. Hypnotherapy can be employed to treat a wide variety of issues and conditions either as a stand-alone therapy or on conjunction with other therapies such as EMDR or NLP.
As a field of study modern Clinical Hypnotherapy is integrative which means that the best aspects of CBT, psycho-analysis, quantum psychology and counselling are integrated in the therapeutic process as a matter of course.
The vast proportion of people respond easily and quickly to treatment using hypnotherapy. The number of sessions required depends greatly on the nature of the issue and a variety of individual factors. In all cases a willingness to change must be present.
Unless otherwise requested, therapy tends to be solution / goal directed with regression / analysis being utilised only when other approaches have not generated the desired effect. In other words, you don't need to go into the past unless you want to or unless necessary.
A few of the very many issues that can benefit from clinical hypnotherapy are listed below:

Am I in control?
You remain in control at all times. You cannot be made to do anything that runs against your core value or belief systems. You need to want whatever change is being proposed.
You will be able to hear everything and you may remember everything. Equally it's OK for your conscious mind to wander your unconscious mind will hear and remember everything that you need to hear and remember.
Can everyone hypnotised?
Almost everyone can enter into some form of trance state. A smaller number of people can access very deep trance states but that's fine because most therapy work is done using light to medium depth trance states.
