Rebecca Edmonds, MNCH (Reg.), HPD

Overview

I am a clinical hypnotherapist with clinics in HEREFORD & MALVERN. I offer a full range of therapy services to help clients of all ages (from 6 years upwards), including: stress, anxiety & depression; phobias; addictions (smoking, drinking, gambling); irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); weight loss; insomnia; pain management; and much more.

If you look at the testimonials on my website (redmondshypnotherapy.co.uk), my Google business Pages (Rebecca Edmonds Hypnotherapy in Hereford & Malvern), or my Facebook Page (Redmonds Hypnotherapy), you will find that I come highly recommended.

I use solution focused hypnotherapy in conjunction other techniques from the disciplines of psychotherapy, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and neuro linguistic programming (NLP). As every client is unique and individual, I ensure that each session is tailored specifically for you and your needs to help you overcome the challenges you are currently facing and help you achieve your goals.

Hypnotherapy is different from other psychological type therapies because it does not dwell on the past. It is about moving forward in the here and now. It offers a unique approach to overcoming obstacles and making permanent, sustainable changes. It uses visualisation techniques to enable you to focus on what you really want to achieve and move forward in a constructive way. It isn’t magic, but it does make the process of making change much easier by improving your motivation and getting you in the right mind-set.

People often ask the question "Is hypnotherapy safe?". Whether you realise it or not, you naturally go into "trance" many times a day already and hypnotherapy simply replicates that experience. It is therefore a perfectly safe and natural technique. You will remain conscious and in full control. It provides a very relaxing and enjoyable way to engage the subconscious brain, enabling you to make positive changes that you have been unable to do with your conscious mind.

Hypnotherapy can help with a great many conditions, particularly those exacerbated by stress. Some of the more common areas are shown below, but this list is by no means exhaustive, so please contact me for more information if there is something else you would like to work on.
