What is Hypnotherapy?

One of the key concepts of lasting therapeutic change is working with focus. The phrase 'what you focus on you amplify' is central to this idea and can impact quality of life greatly. It is also true that the direction of that focus can define how you experience life. 


The internally focused and absorbed state of hypnosis can assist you in shifting your focus, disconnecting from unhelpful and/or uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and sensations and then connecting to helpful and/or comfortable ones.


Hypnosis is also an space that allows you to get absorbed in new ideas, perspectives and possibilities that can help develop and consolidate change through experiential learning which is when you have an internal experience of the change you want that feels real enough to learn from.

Client Success Stories

'Dear Paula, thanks to your Hypnotherapy sessions, relaxation CD, and self exercises, I was able to control my anxiety related to claustrophobia. This enabled me to have an MRI that was required for assessment of my shoulder pre surgical repair. I am now on a path to repair a long term problem that has impeded my quality of life both physically and mentally. I can not thank you enough. Yours sincerely Christine' 

'I can't put into words just how amazing this lady is. Paula has helped me on the most incredibly difficult journey with such a compassionate and empathetic approach. She is the most genuine, caring person and her knowledge and skill in both psychotherapy and hypnotherapy is incomparable.
Paula instantly makes you feel at ease, she never judges and always helps you find the answers you need. She gave me the strength and courage to get to where I am today. I am in a much better place and feel like a different person thanks to her invaluable help and support. Thank you so much Paula.' Heather (Dundee)

'Paula's approach of combining hypnotherapy with other techniques has proved to be life changing for me. From the very first session, I knew I had found the right person. She has helped me gain a deep insight into the underlying thought processes which both created and sustained my self-doubt and low self-esteem. The therapies used are no doubt excellent in themselves, however it is very much Paula’s experience and skill as a practitioner, that I believe have been key to my progress. I feel significantly better in the knowledge that her help and guidance, combined with her therapeutic techniques, have made a real difference to my life now. Through her empathy and care, Paula instantly makes you feel comfortable, understanding what you need sometimes even better than you do yourself! She tailors her sessions to your needs, offering you recordings and reading material, all of which are extremely helpful. Together we have worked on overcoming lifelong issues, and for all of these reasons I would wholeheartedly recommend Paula.' Louise (Dundee)
