Hypnotherapy
Here at Calm Minds we use Hypnotherapy as a tool to help alleviate problems in our life that we simply cannot tackle by other conventional means. Take stopping smoking for example. Statistically only 6% of us can give up smoking using just our willpower alone and other treatments, such as Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) don't see much better results.
Many people in the Stockport, Cheshire and Greater Manchester area struggle to quit smoking and we believe we can help you here at Calm Minds.
Using Smoking Hypnotherapy I have helped many people kick the habit. Through using this type of therapy people have found it much easier to switch off the graving and not feel the need to replace it with another (such as eating). The process is simple. You enter a very relaxed state and the therapist makes the suggestion to your subconcious mind that the craving for tobacco is switched off and reinforces that tobacco is doing harm to your body.
As well as Smoking Hypnotherapy we offer therapy to help with all kinds of habits, anxiety, relationships and many other issues.
Counselling
As well as our use of Hypnotherapy we specialise in Counselling. In this modern society many more people are feeling the strains of these things almost on a daily basis, whether its stress and anxiety from your job or depression when reflecting on your life or the way things are going, here at Calm Minds we can help you alleviate these modern day pressures that are ultimatley harming us and could lead to worse problems in the future if they aren't dealt with immediatley.
During our Stress Counselling meetings we try to help you talk your issues out with us which in and of istelf can be extremely beneficial. Taking time to look at your whole life, where you spend your time and energy and where your self-care is can be useful. There are also a range of techniques we can offer during our counselling that can help you in these situations such as mediatation and self-hypnosis.
As well as Stress Counselling we offer counselling for: Childhood related issues, abuse, anger, depression, relationships, anxiety, habits, ASD and couples counselling. We also offer supervision in counselling and hypnotherapy.
Below you can hear me talk about counselling and hypnotherapy in further detail and what Calm Minds can offer to the people of Stockport and Cheshire.
