Hi, I’m Elise behind Lethe Hypnotherapy and I became a qualified hypnotherapist in 2025.
After 4 years of studying Psychology my venture into hypnotherapy was initially fuelled by a desire to go into Psychotherapy/ Counselling. However, during my course, I was able to see the impact of this therapy through practice sessions with my volunteers- after that it only felt right to continue to share this practice further.
I believe hypnotherapy can be particularly helpful for those that are aware of their thought patterns, limiting beliefs and potentially intellectualise their feelings. When this is the case I believe delving into the body and unconscious mind can be more successful than exploring the issue through talking. I believe this because, have you ever tried to logically think your way out of an uncomfortable emotion, only to find you just cannot convince your body to feel okay about it? By using hypnotherapy to enter a meditative like state, it’s possible to suggest new core beliefs and release old feelings.
It can be difficult to try and make positive change if you don’t know that you can feel differently, while there are no guarantees I feel hypnotherapy gives that opportunity to feel differently and integrate long lasting change. I believe many issues in adulthood root back to self esteem and childhood and everyone deserves to let go of burdens that were never theirs to carry. Everyone deserves to let go of programs that they have forgotten.
