Services - Hilltop Hypnotherapy

Aspiring to transform your life, liberated from stress, anxiety, depression, dependencies, and trauma?

Clinical Hypnosis
For many decades, clinical hypnosis has been utilized as a tool to facilitate life transformation in clinical settings. Documented evidence supports its effectiveness in addressing a wide range of issues, including addiction, weight management, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Hypnosis is effective because it helps an individual relax their active conscious mind and access the storehouse of resources and strategies held in their subconscious mind. Once a person identifies their desired changes to cognitive pathways, behavioral responses, and thought patterns, the trance state amplifies the effects of their chosen path.

Strategic Psychotherapy
Strategic Psychotherapy is based on the concept that our behaviors and thought patterns are determined by our perceptual filters, which are developed through each person’s unique life experiences. For example, if three individuals describe the same scene, each description will differ based on their respective experiences and filters. One might focus on colors, another on sounds, and a third on the practical applications of the materials. When our developed filters produce unhelpful results, we can feel stuck. By strategically examining how a person experiences the problem, we can work with them to create a new filter that produces more useful outcomes.

Strategic Hypnosis
The combination of hypnosis techniques with a strategic approach to psychotherapy has the ability to provide profound and lasting change. If you are ready to make a change, get in touch today for a free 20-minute consultation, because you deserve to live a life free of stress. Our unique methods can help you transform your life.

Hi Margaret, you saw me earlier in the year 2023, regarding loneliness and pain associated with my estranged family. I just wanted to update you that I’m feeling better and stronger than ever, since our last session. You helped me tremendously. I can now breathe a little easier without all that heavy trauma I was carrying. Thank you so very much. I often think of you and wonder how you’re doing. I send you a huge hug and gratitude for you and the very important work you are doing.

When I first went to see Margaret, I really thought hypnosis was hocus-pocus! But after my first session, I thought WOW this really works! and now I can’t stop raving about it! I had depression and anxiety for 20 years and it had gotten to the point my wife said ‘Go and see Margaret, she can help you’ , I feel amazing!

I decided to try Hypnotherapy to curb my drinking habits, after an extensive search I found Hilltop Hypnotherapy online.Margaret the founder of Hilltop Hypnotherapy contacted me after I left a message, we talked about my problem and habits.I chose to do 3 sessions, after the first session I stopped my daily drinking habit.Margaret is a wonderful human being, reinforcing my strengths in every session. The environment was so relaxing and I am achieving new goals every day.

Thank you Margaret, you have changed my life!

For years I didn’t believe in this sort of therapy and for years I’ve seen so many different clinical psychologists and GPs. I am so happy to say that after my first session I felt so much lighter and more at peace with myself. I completed 3 sessions and I can highly recommend Margaret to help you with any unresolved trauma or issues.

Thanks again Margaret!

I am tired of crying in my room, I’m on antidepressants I just don’t want my family to see me upset, I see they are disappointed with my ongoing sadness. I hoped you can help me, Margaret.
After my first session, I can’t believe it, I’m smiling! I can’t remember the last time I smiled! Now I am confident again. Thank you Margaret.

Frequently Ask Questions

Not sure yet? Here are the answers to some common questions

What is clinical hypnotherapy?

Clinical hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that utilizes hypnosis to help individuals overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. It involves accessing the subconscious mind through guided relaxation and suggestion, allowing for positive change in thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being.

What is strategic hypnotherapy?

Strategic hypnotherapy is an impactful approach that integrates hypnosis and therapeutic methods to assist individuals in overcoming obstacles and realizing their aspirations. By tapping into the subconscious mind, this technique facilitates profound personal transformation and development.

How does strategic psychotherapy work?

Strategic Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand and manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Through one-on-one sessions with a trained psychotherapist, clients can explore their concerns, gain insights, and develop effective coping strategies. This is different from other forms of psychotherapy as it is focused on the perceptual filters that clients have developed throughout their life. In showing clients how to change those filters, the possibility of change becomes a reality.

Can hypnotherapy help with anxiety, trauma, depression, dependencies, trauma or PTSD?

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy offer a strategic approach to overcoming various mental and emotional challenges, including anxiety, stress, depression, dependencies, trauma, and PTSD. By accessing the subconscious mind through a focused state of heightened awareness, strategic hypnotherapy can effectively address the underlying causes of these conditions. This therapeutic technique employs targeted suggestions and metaphors to reprogram negative thought patterns, alleviate overwhelming emotions, and promote healing from traumatic experiences. Through this process, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms, experience relief from distressing symptoms, and cultivate a greater sense of inner peace and emotional well-being.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

Our practice provides face-to-face hypnotherapy sessions. These appointments occur in a relaxing and confidential environment, allowing you to collaborate directly with a therapist to tackle the issues you wish to address.

Do you offer telehealth sessions?

Yes, we offer telehealth hypnotherapy sessions. These virtual sessions take place via a secure video platform, allowing you to work directly with a therapist from the comfort and privacy of your own space to address your concerns.

Does hypnosis means that I will do things against my will?

Clinical hypnosis is quite different from the dramatized portrayals seen in television and films. It does not entail acting against your own volition. Instead, the effectiveness of clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy stems from the client’s ability to make their own choices based on the suggestions provided by the therapist.

What happens in hypnosis?

A Clinical Hypnotherapist uses hypnosis to achieve a state of mental, physical and emotional relaxation. When in this state, the conscious mind (that busy, critical, analytical part of the mind) takes a rest. Hypnosis allows people to tap into the information that lies in the subconscious mind and make positive changes to thought patterns, habits or behaviours that are having a negative mental or physical impact.

The experience of hypnosis will be different for each client. For some, it is a heightened awareness; for others, a profound relaxation. Sometimes the client hears every word the hypnotist says, and other times the voice fades in and out or becomes completely inaudible. In strategic hypnotherapy and clinical hypnosis the client is always free to alter the hypnotic experience or awaken at will.

Is hypnosis safe?

Hypnosis is a normal, naturally occurring, healthy state of mind. There are no known documented cases of clinical hypnosis resulting in harm. (Analysis of known studies.)

What does hypnosis feel like?

Hypnosis feels like complete physical and mental relaxation. Everyone will experience it differently, based on their own circumstances. It has been likened to daydreaming, or the state of mind just before drifting off to sleep. The hypnotic state of relaxation allows the busy mind to quieten, and the stored resources of the unconscious mind to be accessed and used to create new pathways.
