In this framework, we do not advocate for a single, prescriptive approach for our clients. Instead, we draw on various techniques and utilise them as effective tools for change. We believe in having a tailored approach to meet the specific needs of our clients; we don’t treat the label; we treat the client.

One of the main elements of Cognitive Hypnotherapy is that we believe trance is an everyday state, with up to 90% of our day being spent in trance. We believe trance is induced by the unconscious, not something that can be done to us. It guides us to behave and respond in a way that it believes is best for us at that moment; it is trying to keep us safe. All behaviour has a positive intention. Every single one of us has our own interpretation of the world based on our lived experiences, forming what we call a ‘reality tunnel’ where we draw on our past experiences to make sense of the ones we experience now.
