If you are looking for psychotherapy or hypnotherapy, you first need to know and understand both what psychotherapy and hypnotherapy are, and what they aren't.
The term psychotherapy is derived from Ancient Greek psyche(ψυχή meaning "breath; spirit; soul") and therapeia (θεραπεία "healing; medical treatment").
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Psychotherapy as:
"The treatment of mental or emotional disorder or of related bodily ills by psychological means."
Alternatively, the Oxford English Dictionary defines Psychotherapy (in 2015) as
"The treatment of disorders of the mind or personality by psychological methods..."
One definition of psychotherapy is as follows:
"In the most inclusive sense, the use of absolutely any technique or procedure that has palliative or curative effects upon any mental, emotional or behavioural disorder. In this general sense the term is neutral with regard to the theory that may underlie it, the actual procedures and techniques entailed and the form and duration of treatment.
There may, however, be legal and professional issues involved in the actual practice of what is called psychotherapy, and in the technical literature the term is properly used only when the teratment is is carried out by someone with recognised training and using accepted techniques.
The term is often shortened to therapy, particularly when modifiers are appended to identify the form of therapy or the theoretical orientation of the therapist."
It has been estimated that there are over a thousand different psychotherapy techniques, some being minor variations, while others are based on very different conceptions of psychology, ethics (how to live), or techniques. Most involve one-to-one sessions, between client and therapist, but some are conducted with groups, including families.
Hypnotherapy is a very advanced form of psychotherapy that is carried out whilst the client is in a hypnotic state of focussed attention. It is carried out by trained psychotherapists that have been trained in the way that the mind works, both whilst in Hypnosis, and out of Hypnosis, and are experienced in the safe and effective use use of Hypnosis in therapy.
The form of Hypnotherapy that the Surrey Hypnotherapy Clinic practises, and specialises in, is termed Hypnoanalysis. This form of Psychotherapy is a private and confidential one-to-one therapy, and is the preferred form of therapy because:
