Thinking Therapeutically
The Total Guide to Using Hypnotherapy & NLP Effectively by The Founders of CCTS
What is Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is therapy that is undertaken with a subject in a state of hypnosis. This is an induced mental state that has been used for thousands of years in the treatment of psychological and psychosomatic complaints, and still today holds an element of mystery and drama to many. Although a popular misconception is that hypnosis is a form of unconsciousness resembling sleep, contemporary research suggests that it is actually a wakeful state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, with diminished peripheral awareness. Hence there is no deep-seated mystery about the use of hypnosis as a therapy technique, only a recordable change in brain frequency that opens the incredible power of the subconscious mind to the client. Hypnosis enables the vast array of therapeutic techniques to be used with often lightening quick effect, so we combine it in a clinical and cognitive form with NLP.
The clinical applications of hypnotherapy have to be seen and experienced to be believed, but once you have witnessed the positive results, there is no going back.
What is NLP?
Neuro Linguistic Programming, often simply referred to as NLP, focuses upon the incredible power of language within communication and reminds us of just how powerful every word we utter can be. Allied to this is NLP's study of human behaviour and importantly what ‘works' in human behaviour and what does not. With a clear approach to ‘modelling' what works and in addition to utilizing the power of the subconscious mind NLP has found itself as one of the most sought after set of skills and knowledge available in the current psychological field.

What is Psychotherapy?
In the exploration of one's place in life we often find ourselves asking questions about our purpose, meaning and existence in the world. This can lead to massive insights, which open up the possibility to us of making changes in our life that suit our current understanding of what it is to be us. Psychotherapy offers more than just the space to explore this. It offers an abundance of techniques taken from a variety of different therapeutic schools of thought that can allow us to become aligned with a sense of how we want to live our life.
In essence psychotherapy enables a rich exploration of the infinite possibilities that we as human beings have open to us. To find the answers within enables growth that really does mean something. As written centuries ago in Greek mythology, "That which is worth learning cannot be taught".
What is Counselling?
Counselling is a process that involves skills of caring, listening and prompting. It is a way of relating to another person, enabling that person to explore his or her thoughts, feelings and behaviours, in order to reach a clearer self-understanding. That person is then helped to find and use his or her strengths, so that they can cope more effectively with their life by making appropriate decisions or by taking relevant action.
Essentially, counselling is a purposeful relationship in which one person helps another to help themselves. The aim of counselling is to provide help and support by the aid of an understanding listener.
