Welcome to Inner Potential Hypnotherapy which specialises in treating emotional and mental problems such as depression/Anxieties, panic attacks, low self esteem, agression/anger, phobias and sexual problems/Abuse.

There are four main reasons for working with Inner Potential Hypnotherapy when you are dealing with an emotional or mental issue:

1. Your Hypnotherapist in Berkshire, Amreeta, is trained as a Psychologist as well and has worked in a therapeutic way with child and domestic/sexual abuse for five years before she chose to channel her expertise by training as a clinical Hypnotherapist as well. Thereby she has not only the Hypnosis techniques to apply to the issues you may have but she also has the therapeutic knowledge and experience of doing it in the most professional and safe way, so that the change process from problem to potential in your life is smooth and long lasting.
2. Inner Potential Hypnotherapy is a specialist service: for the past three years Amreeta has been specialising in anxieties, panic attacks, phobias, depression, anger/aggression and low self-esteem and she has been working both with children/adolescents and adults around Berkshire.
3. Amreeta can say with her experience of three years in full-time practice in Reading, Wokingham, Windsor and Woodley that she has found an average of 4-6 sessions is all that it takes for issues such as anxieties, phobias, panic attacks, low self esteem, anger and stress to be resolved; and with children it can take even lesser sessions. But with cases where there’s a history of child abuse, sexual abuse or emotional breakdowns the sessions can go up to eight or ten.
4. Amreeta is registered with the BSCH (British Society of Clinical Hypnosis), GHR (General Hypnotherapy Register and HA (Hypnotherapy Association) and works closely with G.P. surgeries, counsellors, psychotherapists and other professionals in Berkshire. She goes through regular supervision and CPD (Continuous Professional Development) programs as well so that she maintains the professional and ethical level of Inner Potential Hypnotherapy even after years of training as Psychologist and Hypnotherapist!

What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a safe and natural phenomenon which occurs everyday in our lives. Everyone of us has experienced a trance state while listening to our favourite piece of music, while daydreaming or while meditating.

The unconscious mind is where we store all our thoughts beliefs and emotions. It also controls our bodily functions. Our conscious mind is the controller and approver of what it will allow out of the unconscious mind and prefers to repress all those emotions which can be hurtful or traumatizing.

Ironically enough it is the unconscious mind that from behind the curtain of consciousness controls our behaviours and mannerisms of everyday.

Have you caught yourself saying "I do want to stop smoking but I can't - something else controls me......." or "I do want to control my eating habits but I don't have that power...." or "I wish I could have more self-confidence, but my body and voice trembles despite myself in a social situation....". well you have and are experiencing the power of your unconscious mind.

HERE IS THE MISSING PIECE IN THE PUZZLE:

The unconscious mind does not only repress our emotions but it also stores our capacity for amelioration and growth. Have you ever experienced yourself achieving a considerable amount of work in a few hours of intense concentration and focus? That same amount of work could have taken you days to complete. Here you have experienced the power of your unconscious to help you achieve.

How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy helps the conscious mind to relax and allow the unconscious mind to open and accept positive ideas and suggestions; once these suggestions are imprinted and reinforced through hypnotherapy they take a more rooted form and help in removing the old negative beliefs.

The client comes with his/her problem and a treatment plan is drawn with his/her co-operation. The sessions last for approximately one hour each and two to five sessions are enough depending on the nature of the problem. Treating a deep rooted phobia will take longer than an exams phobia, for example.

Hypnotherapy does not work against the wish and will of the client. The belief that the hypnotherapist has taken control over the mind of the person is a myth that clinical hypnotherapy is proving wrong everyday in practice.

Can hypnotherapy be harmful?
No, hypnotherapy helps towards relaxing the body and mind if nothing else. When practised ethically and according to the needs of the client hypnotherapy can only be beneficial.

Is hypnotherapy expensive?
No,hypnotherapy is a very cost-effective solution because in 3-6 sessions most clients achieve up to 80-90% of their goals. The first session lasts up to 90 minutes with consecutive sessions lasting approx 1 hour. Each session costs £75.
