Psychotherapy is the use & application of psychological knowledge to help people understand themselves & start to make appropriate changes, or to be comfortable with who they are.
Psychology is the study of human behaviour. It seeks to look at the motivational drives within an individual & offer an explanation to the behaviour that is demonstrated.
Psychotherapy has several different theoretical models that have developed over time, the most often known being psycho-analysis. The therapy that I practise makes use of a number of the best ideas from these differing schools of thought in order to help people accomplish not only a quick rate of improvement but also an enduring. It's its basis in a cognitive-analytical model that seeks to look at the system behind thought, & understand the way it's developed, & naturally how to change negative thought processes in to positive ones.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a effective technique of treatment. It is a state of altered consciousness with increased & heightened awareness, which is often accompanied by deep relaxation; this in itself can be beneficial. Contrary to popular belief it does not involve becoming unconscious & has nothing to do with /Hypnosis cannot be forced on people, but it is a state which people permit themselves to enter.
What is Hypno-psychotherapy?
It is important to understand that, in the coursework of hypnosis, people cannot be forced to do things that they would pick not to do. Hypnosis or �trance� as it is often referred to is similar to the experience of day dreaming, when you lose a sense of time & may without thought continue a task that routinely requires concentration, such as driving from place to another but not actually recalling the journey. This is an example of an altered state of consciousness that they experience every day of our lives.
Both hypnotherapy & hypno-psychotherapy utilise hypnosis in a therapeutic form, however an individual that only practises as a hypnotherapist may not have undertaken training in psychotherapeutic theory & practice.
Hypno-psychotherapy is the practice of psychotherapy with applied hypnosis being the primary approach. The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy, the lead body for the provision of Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom, recognises the practice of hypno-psychotherapy.
For therapists to be able to register with United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy requires an extensive programme of four years training.
Short courses of study that are available may give an insight in to the techniques & practice of hypnosis, but they do not in themselves enable the practitioner to be able to address all forms of presenting issues.
It is strongly advised that anyone seeking any kind of therapy investigates the qualifications & registrations of the practitioners they approach for treatment.
