Hypnotherapy

My approach is non-judgemental, client led, warm, holistic and empathic, Integrating Hypnotherapy, Thought Field Therapy (TFT-tapping) and mBIT coaching as needed to enhance your bespoke hypnotherapy treatment. I aim to help you progress, with a positive, confident outlook on life.

Would you like to:

Feel less stressed or anxious?
Remove fear or phobia?
Manage pain?
Manage your weight?
Stop smoking?
Feel more relaxed during pregnancy and labour?
Be more confident in exams/Driving test?

Events in life meet us head on, causing stress, anxiety and trauma. Issues around Job loss, separation, divorce, bereavement, financial or social worries, health or housing problems, behavioural problems all eat away at us. We feel helpless, depressed, lack confidence or motivation,

Hypnotherapy helps with any emotional, physical and behavioural issues you may be experiencing, bringing positive, lasting changes, providing you with the tools you need. Your treatment is specifically tailored for you, to empower you both now and in your life ahead.

What hypnotherapy is not

Hypnotherapy is not as you’ve seen on TV, people on stage clucking like chickens, unaware of their actions. You are aware and in control of your thoughts and actions all times during treatments.

How does hypnotherapy work?

We all go into a state of hypnosis several times daily, like daydreaming whilst doing mundane tasks, reading a book, watching TV or a film, or driving, to arrive at our destination unaware how we got there. It will feel very comfortable, safe and familiar to you.

In hypnosis you will be in a state of focussed calm, aware of everything I say to you, aware of the sounds and environment around you. You can come out of this relaxed state any time you choose.

I will ease your busy conscious mind into the background, and communicate with your receptive subconscious/unconscious mind, which is well suited to hypnotherapy. It is the part of your mind which can bring about positive changes for you.

Your conscious mind is busy, logical, and controls your decision making and willpower.

Your subconscious/unconscious mind stores all your memories since birth, controls your emotions, both positive and negative, stores your dreams, controls autonomic processes like your heart beating, breathing, blood pressure and walking.

You can see where the saying “I’m in two minds about it” comes from.

Hypnosis can lower heart and breathing rate, reduce blood pressure, improve circulation and digestion. You will feel pleasantly relaxed and refreshed at the end of your treatment.

Will hypnotherapy work for me?

It can, but you need to be motivated to want to make changes in your life. There is no magic wand.
Some of the many condition’s hypnotherapy is successful at treating:

Stress/Anxiety
Phobias/Fear
Weight Management
Stopping Smoking
Pregnancy & Hypnobirthing
Pain Management
Driving test /Exam Stress

THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY. T.F.T. also known as TAPPING

Events occur in life which cause us pain. Negative emotions can cause energy blocks which prevent you moving on with your life. Thought Field Therapy can produce rapid changes, to reduce or eliminate emotional and physical negativity.

Thought Field Therapy (also known as TFT or tapping) is natural, safe and drug free. Tapping can provide rapid relief by reducing damaging, negative emotions surrounding an event, helping a wide variety of problems. Tapping treats the emotion around the event, not the event itself and can cause a ‘shift’ in emotions in a shorter space of time. You will still remember the event, but the stressful, negative feelings associated with it can reduce, and in some cases disappear.

Tapping can help you with:

Anxiety
Stress
Anger
Fear
Phobias
Depression
Panic attacks
Pain management
Habits & Addictions
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY. T.F.T. also known as TAPPING

TFT (Tapping) was discovered and developed in 1980 by Dr. Roger Callahan, a distinguished American Clinical Psychologist, and has its roots in acupuncture.

Tapping works with you (under my guidance) tapping gently with your fingers on meridian points on your hands and upper body in a specific sequence (algorithm). This effectively releases and switches off negative feelings and thoughts around an emotional or physical experience. Asking you ‘tune in’ and think of the problem, I will guide you through the sequences you need to help resolve your issue.

” Highly recommend Frances as a Hypnotherapist, it’s no exaggeration to say she changed my life. I now have the tools and strategies to get on with my life. She also inspired me to train as a Hypnotherapist myself.”

Lorraine Barker

Never having had hypnotherapy before I was intrigued as to how and if it worked. I put myself in Francis’s hands and asked if she could reduce my anxiety regarding flying out to Sri Lanka, a 13 1/2-hour trip, alone to meet a friend.
I wasn’t sure if it had worked or not until the day came for the flight. I found myself almost looking forward to it! The upgrade going out helped, I won’t lie, but from leaving the house to arriving at the hotel I was totally fine. The return journey literally flew by (pardon the pun) and before I knew it there were only 4 hours left, I’d been that involved in my book.
I’ve already booked my next appt with Francis as I know I can trust her and apparently it may even work!!

Frances has coached me for stress and anxiety. I didn’t know what to expect. Frances put me at my ease and I found it very relaxing, and I feel more confident about the way forward.

May. Faversham

I visited Frances at Abbey Place Clinic for hypnotherapy for my concerns about visiting the dentist. I had been fearful since I was a child. I had a lot of stress thinking about my check-ups, which was even worse if I needed any further dental work done. I found the hypnotherapy sessions helped enormously. I can now visit the dentist without the dread I used to have. I would definitely recommend hypnotherapy with Frances.

Keith. Milton Regis

I saw Frances for Hypnobirthing when I was expecting my first baby. I found the relaxation techniques helped during my labour. I still use the relaxation at night to help me to go back to sleep after my son’s night feeds.
