Hello. I’m Sonia Beldom from Mind and Media. I’m a psychotherapist specialising in solution-focussed hypnotherapy, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and NLP (neuro linguistic programming). I’m also an established media and speaking skills trainer who can help transform you into a confident communicator.

The fear of public speaking is very common and I can help you over that and give you the skills to turn you into a confident speaker.

HOW CAN HYPNOTHERAPY HELP?

Hypnosis is very natural comfortable calm state, where you feel deeply relaxed and are still able to hear and sense things around you. You will notice your muscles becoming deeply relaxed as you follow my voice and pay attention to your breathing as your mind and body is transported into a calm and relaxed state. Your subconscious mind controls all of your behaviours and is responsible for maintaining your physical and emotional health and by safely accessing your subconscious mind, we can instill new instructions and suggestions to create changes in your behaviour, mind and body both emotionally & physically.

You are fully conscious throughout the process and totally in control of all your actions.

BUSTING THE MYTHS

  • Hypnotherapy is not mind control. You will not be unconscious or out of control.

  • Hypnotherapy will not make you do daft things. You are in control of all of your actions.

  • Hypnotherapy doesn’t force you to reveal secrets. You are completely in control all the time.

  • Will I stay “under”? No. You are in a deeply relaxed state with total awareness of everything going on around you. You can open your eyes and come out of your deep relaxed state whenever you want.

  • Hypnosis is only for gullible people. Not true. Anybody can enter deep relaxation or hypnotic trance.
