Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical hypnotherapy serves as a versatile approach for addressing various life challenges. Qualified Hypnotherapist, Kerri Ludlow can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, phobias, addiction, substance abuse, low self-esteem and the impact of traumatic events can be effectively treated through hypnosis. In therapeutic hypnosis, individuals enter a relaxed state, allowing Kerri to communicate with the subconscious mind and offer tailored suggestions for symptoms like pain, anxiety or addiction. It's important to distinguish clinical hypnotherapy from stage hypnosis seen in entertainment, where people might quack like ducks. Clinical hypnotherapy, unlike its theatrical counterpart, involves therapists with extensive clinical training, ensuring that clients always retain control, and any changes are agreed upon. Unlike the stereotypical image of swinging watches, the process is focused on genuine and lasting positive change. Kerri offers this service via Zoom.
