Step Into a Transformational Hypnotherapy Session
Imagine unlocking the full potential of your mind in just one session. Clinical Hypnotherapy is a proven, science-backed approach to addressing deep-seated emotional and psychological challenges.
Dr Tom Barber and Dr Sandra Westland, our expert hypnotherapists at Colchester Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, bring decades of experience, offering a personalised and compassionate approach to help you achieve meaningful change.
So, what happens in a hypnotherapy session? First, we take the time to understand you. Every person is different, and that’s why every session is tailored to your specific needs.
Your therapist will guide you into a deep state of relaxation, where your unconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions.
Contrary to myths, hypnosis doesn’t mean losing control—it’s a focused state of awareness where real transformation happens.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, habits, or trauma, we work with you to bring about lasting change in a way that feels natural and empowering.
“When you change the way you think, you change the way you feel, and when you change the way you feel, you change your life.”
– Paul McKenna, one of the world’s leading hypnotists and behavioural change experts.
Hypnotherapy That Adapts to You—Not the Other Way Around
Hypnotherapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. The best therapy aligns with your personality, mindset, and needs.
At our Colchester Hypnotherapy practice, we don’t force you to fit into a single approach. Instead, we use a range of clinically proven methods, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment possible.
We specialise in:
- Clinical Hypnosis – Traditional hypnosis for behavioural change.
- Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy – Combining hypnosis with CBT principles.
- Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) – Reprogramming the mind for success.
- Analytical Hypnotherapy – Digging deep to resolve root causes.
- Hypnohealing – Using hypnosis for physical and emotional well-being.
- Transpersonal Hypnotherapy – A holistic, spiritual approach to therapy.
Each of these techniques brings unique benefits, and your therapist will work closely with you to find the right approach. Let’s explore each method so you can get a feel for how they work.
Clinical Hypnosis: The Foundation of Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnosis is the traditional approach to hypnotherapy, used for decades to help people quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, and overcome fears.
It works by guiding you into a trance-like state where your unconscious mind is more receptive to positive change.
This method is highly effective for habit control, phobias, and boosting confidence.
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy: The Best of Both Worlds
Combining the power of hypnosis with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), this approach is ideal for anxiety, depression, and self-limiting beliefs.
We work on breaking negative thought patterns and reinforcing positive behaviours while you’re in a relaxed, focused state. It’s evidence-based and one of the most effective approaches in modern therapy.
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP): Rewiring Your Mind for Success
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a pattern of negative thinking, NLP can help. By changing the way your mind processes information, NLP techniques help you break free from self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviours.
This is particularly useful for confidence, public speaking, and performance enhancement. NLP can really help you break free of old patterns and forge a new way of being.
Analytical Hypnotherapy: Getting to the Root Cause
Some problems run deeper than habits or surface-level thoughts. Analytical Hypnotherapy explores unconscious memories and emotions that may be influencing your current struggles.
This technique is particularly beneficial for trauma, childhood experiences, and long-standing emotional difficulties.
Hypnohealing: The Mind-Body Connection
The mind has a powerful influence over the body. Hypnohealing focuses on using hypnosis to aid in pain management, stress relief, and even supporting physical healing processes.
It’s a gentle yet effective way to promote overall well-being.
Transpersonal Hypnotherapy: A Holistic, Spiritual Approach
For those seeking a deeper connection with themselves and their purpose, Transpersonal Hypnotherapy offers a unique journey.
This approach integrates spiritual elements, helping clients explore past life regression, higher consciousness, and deep personal insights.
