What is Hypnotherapy
What is Hypnotherapy? And Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
- "It's where hypnosis, psychotherapy and neuroscience align"
Hypnotherapy is a highly safe, effective, and soothing supplementary therapy for a wide range of conditions. My method is a hybrid of hypnosis and straightforward, solution-focused therapy. During a hypnotic trance, the mind is utilised to solve certain challenges by entering a hypnotic state and allowing the subconscious mind to absorb recommendations. According to scientific research, entering a hypnotic state aids in the processing of previously taught knowledge, making it simpler to absorb and process information in meaningful ways. During a hypnotic trance, we may mute the conscious brain's voices, allowing us to reach the subconscious mind, which is highly susceptible to suggestion in this relaxed condition. Hypnosis activates the brain's problem-solving, decision-making, and reasoning centers. I can support positive change to help you reach your objectives whilst in hypnosis. Solution-focused hypnotherapy focuses on the solution rather than the issue. It is particularly beneficial for a variety of conditions, including anxiety, depression, bad habits and weight control.
Hypnotherapists are neither counsellors nor psychologists, therefore talks tend to focus on the "now" rather than the past, and sessions are without analysis. This method enables people to concentrate on the good parts of life. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy understands that each individual is unique and special, and focuses on each client's requirements, offering full support to assist the client reach their goals, tailoring the treatment to help them make good changes in life. At KRT Hypno Solutions, the belief is in the power of the mind and its ability to heal and transform. The philosophy is centered around empowering individuals to take control of their thoughts and emotions, and hypnosis and hypnotherapy are used to facilitate this process.
What it is and isn't - FAQ's
What is a HypnoticTrance?
"Its like a lovely relaxing day-dream state"
Trance is a course very ordinary in many ways, we often go into trance many times during a day without realising, whilst watching TV, driving etc....it is a light day dream state. Trance is created simply through use of relaxation and visualisation techniques, it is a pleasant, relaxing and highly beneficial experience. During therapy sessions the client remains in complete control at all times and can exit trance whenever they want to. The process should always be relaxed, pleasant and positive.
What to expect on the couch?
"Will you take over my mind, can I move, will you touch me"
Some people are hesitant about seeing a Hypnotherapist, because they feel it may be embarrassing or they may feel they are being controlled by another human being. Fortunately these fears are unfounded, that's not how hypnosis works. During hypnotherapy you are in complete control of what your'e doing the whole time and you will have a clear memory once the session ends, you are completely aware of whats' happening the whole session and will be aware throughout the whole process.
You will lie on the couch on one side of the room and I will sit on a chair on the other side of the room, Hypnotherapy is about you listening to me, whilst you are laid down nice and relaxed, I have no reason to come near you or touch you or ask you to respond to me, this is your time to relax and unwind. Whilst you are listening to me, I will advise you to visualise certain scenes in your mind with your eyes closed, you will find this deeply relaxing and pleasant, this process enables you to enter that lovely trance, day-dream state where you mind is open to suggestions. You are NOT in a deep sleep, you are in a "dazed, day-dream state" where you can hear all that is being said or parts of what is being said, and have the ability to move if you so wish, I do not have the ability to control your mind and you are free to leave the room if wish to do so, but I've never had anyone want to do that, quite the opposite infact........
What Hypnotherapy is not...
"It is not what you see on TV or the stage"
We have all seen on television or on stage where a self-proclaimed "Hypnotist" gets someone to "bark like a dog" with an apparent snap of the fingers, the volunteer then apparently awakens without any knowledge of what has occurred....This depiction of hypnosis, is little more than a media-driven myth. We are unable to make a client do anything they do not want to do, such as "bark like a dog" as staged Hypnotists over the years have made people believe, this is something entirely different! This NOT what we do.
How effective is Hypnotherapy?
"Extremely effective"
Hypnotherapy is extremely effective. Results may vary from person to person, full commitment is important and the client will need to want to change. The therapy process is effectively a team effort and should be treated as such. Hypnotherapy can often be seen as magical and it certainly does feel that way at times, it is important to recognise that it is down to the client wanting to change and the client's willingness to engage in the therapeutic process. Therapy is intended to help clients uncover their own strengths, allowing them new life skills to deal with situations as and when they arise.
Hypnosis is natural, powerful and effective
*Please note - Hypnotherapy is not suitable for those with Psychosis
A Little more about me...
Hi, I'm Katherine Rivera-Tallents an experienced and accredited/certified part-time Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist based in Carterton, near Witney, West Oxfordshire, also working from a well-being clinic in Burford, Harley Street, London, and working with clients worldwide online. I am also proud to be an approved and registered Clinical Hypnotherapist Practitioner for Anxiety UK.
I have a high standard of Hypnotherapy training in a classroom-based setting, which included hundreds of hours of hands-on client interaction and case studies. I have my DSFH and HPD, and am a member of the following Associations some of which are part of the Professional Standards Authority, the National Council For Hypnotherapy (NCH), the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), their code of conduct I adhere to, you can therefore expect the best standard of service with me. I also regularly undertake supervision (as all professional Hypnotherapists are expected to), which is in line with our accreditation memberships, I also regularly update my skill set and make sure that I am up to date with the latest techniques by expanding my knowledge where possible with additional courses.
I have over 20 years experience of working with people from a wide range of personality types, of varying ages, I am also a Mother to two children and understand the pressures that our modern daily lives can put us under, this pressure can sometimes get too much.
After a personal transformation and changing my own thought process, I decided to initially train in counselling which very quickly led me on to become a Hypnotherapist, I decided I wanted to help others who may be struggling and to show them a new way of concentrating their thoughts on the here and now. I personally feel that my skills as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist helps my clients live more fulfilling lives, for I believe it is better to concentrate ones efforts on the positive aspects of their daily lives and that the past should be left where it belongs, in the past. I would never ask anyone to tell me about their past, I want us to encourage what makes you happy now and that is exactly what we will focus on together, the here and now.
I am not a medical practitioner, Doctor, Psychiatrist, or Psychologist, or in anyway able to treat/prescribe or diagnose any medical conditions, my services are holistic and complementary and can work nicely alongside any other treatments you may be receiving.
With Hypnotherapy I know that I can show you the way to a happy and more fulfilling life. My goal is to help you achieve the best version of you.
