Emotion-Focused Hypnotherapy
Emotion focused hypnotherapy utilises the power of your subconscious mind to deeply understand and connect to your emotions, how they feel within your body and the meaning you have been making about them. Together we uncover how you have been keeping yourself in repeating cycles and break the pattern by learning skills to regulate your nervous system, release stored emotions and create corrective emotional experiences.
Emotion focused hypnotherapy integrates your body responses, emotions and cognitions to approach your challenges holistically. You learn how to tune into your felt sense of emotion, understanding how your body communicates with you, responding rather than reacting to its messages. This deeply transformative therapy allows to create change from a regulated nervous system, focusing on your capacity to hold space for the good and let go of what is no longer serving you.

What to expect
In an intake session for Emotion focused hypnotherapy, we begin by discussing your reasons for coming. Following your lead, we go as deeply into your story as feels safe for you. Intake sessions last 90 minutes so we can take our time. After our initial discussion we commence hypnotherapy – I will invite you to close your eyes and ask you to simply follow my voice as I guide you into an inwardly focused state. Depending on what has come up during our initial conversation I will pick a therapeutic intervention that aligns with you and your goals. In the following sessions we will work together to develop safety inside your body, release what no longer serves you and build capacity to create from a place of ease in your life.

Joanne Colfer
Emotion Focused Hypnotherapy Life Coach Solution Focused Hypnotherapist.
“Joanne is an absolutely amazing hypnotherapist, and I cannot recommend her enough, especially for anyone who feels a little stuck in life. I did a course of sessions with Joanne at a time in my life when I was feeling very negative about my career and feeling very constrained by my living situation. Through just four sessions, Joanne enabled me to tap into a deeper knowing, reset my cognitive patterns and - I kid you not - overnight my behaviour changed. Week by week, I gained further clarity as my limiting beliefs faded away. I’ll be going back to her anytime I feel myself getting in my own way or when my judgment feels clouded, the clarity and insights you gain are remarkable.”
“I found my hypnotherapy sessions with Joanne extremely helpful to release deeper emotions trapped in my subconscious that were holding me back from being more confident and surer in what I am doing in my life, and calm while pursuing my goals.”
