Scotlandtherapy: Hypnotherapy and NLP

Hypnotherapy uses a state of relaxation between normal alertness and sleep to relax the conscious mind and enable the use of methods including suggestion, visulisation, metaphor and analysis.

When in the relaxed state known as trance, the subject remains in full control, can hear what is being said and is able to understand what is happening. In this state however the mind is able to absorb and process useful, appropriate and therapeutic processes that can make a psychological, perceptual or behavioral difference to the individual.

Hypnotherapy can be used in a number of mental health related conditions, in particular the management of phobias and anxiety. Hypnotherapy is a recommended therapy for anxiety related conditions by Anxiety UK.

Sports hypnosis and performance hypnosis combines the use of hypnotherapy with occasionally NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to enable the sports person to choose the optimum psychological profile for the activity in question. Stuart has worked successfully with medal winning martial artists, professional darts players, army entrants and many golfers.

Anxiety related conditions include phobias, fears, panic attacks and conditions relating to low confidence and self image.
