Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy

What is Hypnosis?

'Hypnotic responding is a neurobiologically rooted, genetically inherited ability of the human brain. It is an intentional , motivational mode of information processing that allows humans to alter, to varying degrees their experience of body, self, actions and the world" Dell, 2017.

​

Hypnosis is a natural state that can be evoked by a skilled practitioner.

​

As an Ericksonian practitioner of Hypnosis Stephanie understands that each client is unique and the practice strategically uses individual strengths and attributes to promote change. 

​

Through a process of deep relaxation Stephanie enables the client to activate and access subconscious resources to assist them in their present state.

​

The Process Includes:

​

  • Assessment

  • Goal Setting

  • Induction

  • Hypnosis

  • Intervention

  • Follow Through​
