================== ARTICLE START ==================

Psychotherapy

Psychology is the study of human behaviour. It seeks to look at

the motivational drives within an individual and offer an

explanation to the behaviour that is demonstrated.

Psychotherapy is the use and application of psychological

knowledge to help people understand themselves and begin to

make appropriate changes, or to be comfortable with who they

are.

Psychotherapy has several different theoretical models that

have developed over time, the most commonly known being

psycho-analysis. The therapy that I practise uses some of the

best ideas from these differing schools of thought in order to

help people achieve not only a rapid rate of improvement but

also a lasting one. It has its basis in a cognitive–analytical

model that seeks to look at the process behind thought, and

understand how it has developed, and of course how to change

negative thought processes into positive ones.

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a very effective method of treatment. It is a state

of altered consciousness with increased and heightened

awareness, which is often accompanied by deep relaxation; this

in itself can be beneficial. Contrary to popular belief it does

not involve becoming unconscious and has nothing to do with

sleep.

Hypnosis cannot be forced upon people, but it is a state which

people allow themselves to enter.

It is important to understand that, during hypnosis, people

cannot be forced to do things that they would choose not to do.

Hypnosis or " trance " as it is often referred to is similar to

the experience of day dreaming, when you lose a sense of time

and may without thought continue a task that routinely requires

concentration, such as driving from one place to another but not

actually remembering the journey. This is an example of an

altered state of consciousness that we experience every day of

our lives.

What is Hypno-psychotherapy?

Hypno-psychotherapy is the practice of psychotherapy with

applied hypnosis being the primary approach. The United Kingdom

Council for Psychotherapy, the lead body for the provision of

Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom, recognises the practice of

hypno-psychotherapy.

Both hypnotherapy and hypno-psychotherapy utilise hypnosis in a

therapeutic form, however an individual that only practises as a

hypnotherapist may not have undertaken training in

psychotherapeutic theory and practice.

For therapists to be able to register with United Kingdom

Council for Psychotherapy requires an extensive programme of 4

years training.

Short courses of study that are readily available may give an

insight into the techniques and practice of hypnosis, but they

do not in themselves enable the practitioner to be able to

address all forms of presenting problems.

It is strongly advised that anyone seeking any form of therapy

investigates the qualifications and registrations of the

practitioners they approach for treatment.

A United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy registered therapist

will always provide information relating to their qualifications

and registrations if requested.
