Clinical Hypnotherapy

Clinical Hypnotherapy is the relaxation of mind and body which allows you to resolve problems, break habits and unlock your personal potential. It is a safe and beneficial form of therapy with no harmful side effects which has been used for hundreds of years in various countries and cultures.

Although the term "Hypnosis" was derived from the Greek word hypnos, meaning sleep, Hypnosis is not sleep, but a natural, normal, relaxed and focused state of attention or "trance state" that is generally characterised by:

• Feelings of well-being
• Feelings of lightness or heaviness
• Increased muscle relaxation
• Predominating Alpha Brain Waves
• An enhanced ability to access memories
• An enhanced ability to accept new ideas about yourself if they are not in conflict with your values.

Contrary to some of the myths surrounding Hypnosis, you cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do, or anything against your values, nor will you reveal information you do not want to reveal, it is in fact still possible to tell lies while under hypnosis. You can only be guided into the hypnotic state by your therapist if you want to be and all hypnosis is in fact self hypnosis.

To enhance the effectiveness of the session, Colleen uses a combination of modalities, in particular Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).

NLP explores the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programmes). In effect, NLP is a powerful tool that transforms the way people think and act to have the greatest impact both professionally and personally. The combination of Hypnotherapy and NLP ensures a thorough, powerful and more effective result for you plus results are felt immediately.

Some of the benefits include:

• Remove what is holding you back from living your potential
• Create powerful change
• Resolve issues easily and quickly
• Break habits and addictions
• Overcome fears and phobias
• Learn, grow and evolve
• Detach from inner turmoil and suffering

"I first saw Colleen Dooley to deal with an overwhelming state of resentment that I couldn't seem to shift in my relationships. Regardless of the approach I used (many years of self-development, counselling, hypnosis, journey work etc) I just couldn't let it go and it was not serving me. After ONE session with Colleen, I walked free, and to my amazement I can no longer access those overwhelming emotions!!...I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen as a highly effective facilitator with a gentle and compassionate approach, and am in awe of what she helped me to achieve in just one session. Thankyou Colleen."

"I thoroughly recommend a session with Colleen. She helped me shift some deep seated beliefs that I was running on that I didn't even know I had - beliefs that made sense to a 3 year old but were not serving me in the adult world. Her delivery is confident, caring and professional and the sessions are great value."
Dr John McAndrew

"Colleen has an amazing ability to enable you to see into your own soul and ever so gently reveal the secrets that hold you in pain and fear from living your greatness. With the professional help from Colleen I have excitedly started to re-adjust the mental web of pain which came from my perceptions. The process was fun and life changing. I would highly recommend Colleen to help you explore this gentle way of healing and releasing pain in your life. Thank you."

"Hi Colleen it has been about 10 days since I saw you and all is well, it is hard for me to put it into words however I will give it a go. I guess after what I went through over the past 20 plus years with the onset of Anxiety and depression it was very hard to be positive about anything, most days were spent constantly worrying about money, health issues and anything else I could find for that matter. Anxiety and depression take a lot of energy out of your system and you don’t have much left.

After our 2 sessions that has all changed, I have a clear mind and clean slate on which to work with, I have already made some decisions that I had been putting off for a while. I look ahead with a positive outlook about all the good things that are going to happen to me and when a worrying moment occurs, unlike before I can now stay calm. Our sessions have been of enormous help to me.

Good luck as you continue to help other people who were like myself. Kind regards,"
