FAQs : NLP and Hypnotherapy

At Oxford Minds Therapy, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) which  is a psychological approach to understanding and changing thought patterns and behaviours is used to analyse the connection between brain functions (neuro), language (linguistic), and behavioural patterns (programming) to achieve personal and professional goals. NLP can help you reprogram your mind to improve communication, emotional control, and overall effectiveness.

NLP provides a wide range of benefits including improved communication, enhanced emotional control, personal development, better problem-solving, increased confidence, overcoming phobias and trauma, stress management, and overall mental and physical well-being by reprogramming thought patterns and behaviours.

At Oxford Minds Therapy, NLP works by equipping you with a combination of practical techniques that enable you to understand and change your thought patterns and language to create positive and lasting change in your behaviour and mindset.

Hypnotherapy is another  therapeutic technique that we use at Oxford Minds Therapy. This involves a guided relaxation and focused attention to create a trance-like state, allowing you to access your subconscious mind and make positive changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Hypnotherapy is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic approaches such as NLP to enhance treatment outcomes.

Hypnotherapy facilitates change in NLP by creating a relaxed and focused state, known as a trance, which allows you to access your subconscious mind and become more receptive to positive suggestions and reprogramming of your thought patterns. Hypnotherapy promotes mental and physical well-being by reducing anxiety and stress, treating phobias and addictions, managing pain, improving sleep, boosting confidence, supporting weight management, and facilitating emotional healing. 

Hypnotherapy works by inducing a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often referred to as a trance at Oxford Minds Therapy. In this state, you are more open to suggestions and can explore thoughts, feelings, and memories that may be hidden from your conscious mind.

NLP and hypnotherapy complement each other by combining the strengths of both approaches at Oxford Minds Therapy. Hypnotherapy provides access to the subconscious mind, while NLP offers practical techniques for reframing thoughts, changing behaviours, and achieving goals. Together, they create a powerful synergy for personal transformation and growth.

During the Free Online Consultation at Oxford Minds Therapy I will ask you a series of questions to gather information about your background, current situation and what you hope to achieve through therapy.

A session at Oxford Minds Therapy is typically 60 minutes.

The exact number of sessions will vary based on your unique situation and how you respond to the therapy. This is why the therapy is tailored to your personal individual needs. Typically the number of sessions range from 5 to 10 weeks.

The duration varies from person to person. Some people experience significant changes after a few sessions, while others may need longer-term therapy. Your progress depends on your specific situation and commitment to the process.

At Oxford Minds Therapy, NLP focuses on reprogramming thought patterns and behaviours through language and brain functions to achieve personal and professional goals, while hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation to access the subconscious mind for therapeutic change. In contrast, counselling focuses on talking through issues and providing emotional support. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) addresses the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours but might not always address the deep-rooted emotional aspects of mental health. Psychotherapy provides a deeper exploration of emotional issues and past experiences but can be a longer process and sometimes intense.
