What is Integrative hypnotherapy?
That is a good question, one which I will now attempt to explain.
There are many approaches to hypnotherapy and that is hardly surprising as hypnotherapy is in reality simply talking therapy within hypnosis. As such one can find brief solution focused hypnotherapists, cognitive hypnotherapists, clinical hypnotherapists, mindfulness hypnotherapists, suggestion hypnotherapists and of course named after the great hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, Ericksonian hypnotherapists.
I call myself an Integrative Hypnotherapist because I am trained in and certified independently as a psychotherapist. My training is in Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Parts Therapy and more psychotherapy approaches including cognitive and behavioural. As well I am a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP, a branch of modern psychology. You will see from my Training and Qualifications page that I have thousand of hours of formal training plus on top I have an extensive DVD and Book library and many Online Programmes too. Everyday whether I am working with clients/patients or not, I am researching and looking into hypnosis and psychotherapy. I would say I am a scientific researcher in hypnotherapy as well as an Integrative Hypnotherapist.
I therefore incorporate psychotherapy into my treatment programmes and I utilise the very best models from cognitive, behavioural, person centred as well as humanistic psychotherapy into my work with clients and patients whilst they are within hypnosis. This means every single session I do with a client or patient is different, the therapy is tailored or customised exactly to them. People are individuals and unique, a one size approach does not fit all.
