What is clinical hypnotherapy?

Clinical hypnotherapy uses focused attention within a therapeutic conversation. Rachel may use imagery, metaphor, questions and suggestions adapted to you.

People often recognise similar absorption when reading, listening to music, daydreaming or travelling a familiar route. In therapy, that ordinary capacity is used deliberately and collaboratively.

You are not asleep and Rachel does not take control. You can speak, move, ask questions, disagree, pause or stop.
