Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right
Henry Ford
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a comprehensive therapeutic journey.
It commences with a conventional talk-therapy session where you have the opportunity to express your concerns, problems, or current issues. During this stage, we explore your desired changes, the reasons you want these changes, the factors that drive and inspire you, and ultimately, what outcomes you would like to achieve.
​
Hypnotherapy is focused on the present and the future.
It may be interesting to speculate about what past experiences have contributed to your beliefs and habits in the present day, but ultimately the cause is of no consequence.
It's important to understand two key things that make hypnotherapy such an effective and efficient means of getting beyond habits and fears that are holding you back from living the life you want to live:
1. Fears and unwanted habits are not who you are - they're just habitual, conditioned ways of thinking that can be changed.
2. Habits, beliefs and fears are part of your unconscious mind - that instinctive, reactive, automatic part of your mind. Your unconscious mind is focused on keeping you safe or bringing you pleasure, but often the ways it does this can be ultimately unhelpful. So then, rather than convincing your conscious, rational mind, it's necessary to create change in the unconscious mind.
​
Hypnosis is something we experience nearly every day.
It might be “getting lost” in a good book, or the “zoning out” feeling while driving, when you’re so focused on your thoughts that you feel surprised when you realise you’ve somehow reached your destination already. It might be the ‘daydreaming” feeling while gardening or on a walk in nature, when your mind ‘wanders off’ but you still keep enough outer awareness to keep walking, or to hear your phone ringing.
​

Using Imagination
Hypnotherapy is like getting lost in a great book
In a hypnotherapy session, your analytical, conscious mind becomes relaxed and easily distracted. This is mostly done through a process of interweaving stories and metaphors - it really is like getting happily lost in a good book!
​
​
During our hypnotherapy session I will ask you to imagine some things. They don't have to be pictured perfectly clearly. All you have to do is engage your imagination and get a sense of what I ask you to picture.
​
Imagination is used to help with reframing, which is acknowledging emotions and events, and then widening the perspective. Reframing events and situations is shown to reduce stress, help you become more resilient, and change the way you see the world.
Conscious and Unconscious Mind
Hypnotherapy is inward focus and heightened awareness
What’s important and key to the success of hypnotherapy is that while your conscious mind daydreams, your unconscious mind becomes more open and receptive to communication and positive suggestion.
​
Hypnotherapy uses creativity, metaphors, and storytelling methods to induce a relaxed yet focused state of mind. This process aims to circumvent conscious critical and judgmental thought patterns, allowing positive suggestions to access the unconscious mind, where memories, habits, and behaviors are stored.
​
Neuroplasticity
Hypnotherapy is being intentional with our brain's natural plasticity
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt in response to stimuli over time. It is considered generally to be a complex, multifaceted, fundamental property of the brain.
Adaptive plasticity is directly and intentionally shifting attention in a constructive way to create lasting change in thoughts, habits and behaviours. Growth occurs where you apply your focus and attention. Whatever you focus on will prevail. So fears and unwanted habits can paradoxically thrive when they're most unwanted.
Hypnotherapy is a way of directing attention skillfully to change neural networks and what you pay attention to. Scientific literature is increasingly looking at the neurophysiological underpinnings of hypnosis. There are many studies on this, one of which found that "neuroimaging research has consistently demonstrated that subjective changes in response to suggestion are associated with corresponding changes in brain regions related to the specific psychological function in question".
Mental Practice or Motor Imagery Training
Hypnotherapy supports the reorganisation of neural circuitry to improve motor function
Mental practice is a technique that involves stimulating a specific movement or action without physically performing it.
​
This is particularly useful when recovering from a neurological injury, like a stroke, and the resulting disconnect between the nervous system and the body, for example with hemiparesis or hemiplegia (weakness or paralysis on one side of the body).
Studies show that because mental practice shares the same neural mechanism of physical movement and sparks changes in the area of the brain associated with movement, it is an effective complementary method for motor learning.
​
​
Combining mental visualisation or practice with hypnotherapy is an effective way to accelerate skill performance and recovery of motor function.
Solution-focused Hypnotherapy
I take a solution-focused approach to hypnotherapy.
Re-living and re-analyzing all your past problems and traumas is not the way to positively move forward. Life is too short for that.
If you're wanting to quickly change unwanted thoughts and behaviours and start living the life you want to live, then expect to notice benefits from the very first session.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Rose Ewing and what's hypnotherapy all about: A short introduction
-
Why is hypnotherapy often more effective than talk therapies?We know that simply knowing something cognitively does not necessarily translate into being able to control emotions such as fear and anxiety. If we could change our feelings and behaviour by simply reading a book or listening to an expert, life would be so much easier! What’s key to the success of hypnotherapy is that while your conscious mind daydreams, your unconscious mind becomes more open and receptive to positive suggestions.
-
what happens in a session?Hypnosis is a pleasant state of mental and physical relaxation, where the mind turns inward, enhancing receptivity and responsiveness to positive suggestions, ideas, and visualizations. We will begin each session with a conversation about the issue or problem, what improvements you may have noticed, and then dive into hypnosis.
-
Will I still be aware of what's happening around me during hypnosis?Just like getting lost in a good book, throughout the session you will still hear a phone ring or a dog bark. If you have an itch to scratch that is fine. During hypnotherapy there will always be a conscious part of you listening and aware, and also there will be times when you're drifting more, both relaxed and focused.
-
What type of things can hypnotherapy help with?Almost everything! Certainly more than I can list here. But for a start, hypnotherapy can help with sleeping disorders, weight loss/management, anxiety, lack of confidence, stress, fears & phobias, public speaking, smoking cessation, reducing alcohol, gambling, tinnitus relaxation, irritable bowel syndrome, habits like nail biting, bed wetting, hair pulling, sexual issues, menopause symptoms
-
How many sessions are needed?This varies based on the complexity of the issue, but probably fewer than you think. For basic fears, phobias, and habits, my basic two sessions are likely sufficient. With weight loss and more complex issues it generally takes a bit longer.
-
What do you need from me?All that's required from you is that you really really want this change; that you're self-motivated rather than doing it to please someone else.
