Asthma Hypnotherapy

Asthma, a chronic condition affecting the airways, can significantly impact quality of life. Asthma Hypnotherapy offers an innovative approach to managing this condition, focusing on the mind-body connection to improve breathing and reduce symptoms. While not a substitute for medical treatment, it complements existing asthma management plans by addressing the psychological and emotional aspects often associated with asthma.

Our specialised hypnotherapy sessions target stress and anxiety, common triggers that can exacerbate asthma symptoms. By inducing a state of deep relaxation, we help reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. This approach also aims to enhance lung function and respiratory health through guided imagery and breathing techniques.

Integrated Therapeutic Approach for Asthma Symptoms

Our strategy in addressing asthma through hypnotherapy combines Clinical Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Counselling, NLP, and Psychology, providing a well-rounded treatment:

Clinical Hypnotherapy

We utilise hypnosis to access and reprogram the subconscious mind, where deep-seated anxieties and patterns affecting asthma reside. This aids in altering the body’s response to asthma triggers.

Psychotherapy

Through psychotherapy, we explore the emotional and psychological aspects linked to asthma, addressing any underlying stress or anxiety that exacerbates the condition.

Counselling

Counselling sessions offer a supportive environment, enabling individuals to discuss their experiences and challenges with asthma fostering better coping strategies and emotional resilience.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP techniques change negative thought patterns and behaviours associated with asthma, reinforcing positive responses and attitudes towards the condition.

Psychology

Grounded in psychological principles, our approach involves understanding asthma’s cognitive and emotional facets and applying evidence-based strategies to improve overall well-being and asthma management.

Combining these diverse but complementary therapies provides a practical, holistic approach to asthma management, focusing on our clients’ physical symptoms and emotional well-being.
