<p>You are feeling veerry sleeepy. Well, yes, nothing new there. But if you&#8217;re thinking about addressing any emotional or psychological issues that are causing concern, it may be time to consider the benefits of hypnotherapy. Dispel all thoughts of some scary dude snapping their fingers to put you into a trance though, it&#8217;s not like that, I promise. And it&#8217;s not just about dealing with deep-rooted trauma or crisis either. Hypnotherapy can help with niggling fears and anxiety, personal development, sleep issues, weight management, self-image, habits and addiction, so if any of those things are affecting your wellbeing, then this could just be the game-changer you&#8217;re looking for. </p>

<p>Experienced and GHSC accredited hypnotherapist Shelly Dar is a huge proponent of the importance of self-care and feeling empowered to live a fulfilling and rewarding life without the blockages associated with debilitating negative habits and she offers transformative therapy sessions to help prioritise your wellbeing, release anxiety, build confidence and bring emotional calm.</p>



<p>Hypnotherapy has been used in various forms for thousands of years, promoting positive development and healing whilst the recipient is in a naturally occurring, altered state of awareness and helping to overcome negative thoughts, replace phobic responses and overcome suppressed emotions and irrational fears.</p>



<p>Shelly&#8217;s practise is in Great Glen, a peaceful village to the south of Leicester, where the light and calm therapy space has a lovely view to the garden and she also offers sessions at the gorgeous <a href="https://yoga-house.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yoga House</a> in Stoneygate. </p>

<p>Calm and relaxing, the space Shelly has created at her home feels wonderfully welcoming, decorated with neutral tones and with fluffy rugs on the floor, a collection of brass singing bowls, a cosy chair with soft blankets and a therapy bed to one side of the room. Shelly has given this space a welcoming and comforting atmosphere and the at-home setting adds to a sense of safety and informality that can certainly help when you need to feel most supported. </p>

<p>Our session begins with a cup of camomile tea and an informal chat about what Shelly can provide in terms of therapy and what the potential outcomes and benefits of that might be. Shelly is easy to open up to and there&#8217;s no sense of feeling judged or interrogated, it just feels very natural. I was there to receive one of Shelly&#8217;s most frequently requested therapies, Anxiety Release. Perhaps coincidentally, or perhaps by some planetary alignment, I&#8217;d been listening to a podcast in the car which addressed the huge surge in anxiety related illnesses. It&#8217;s a hot topic. Most of us struggle with it in some way or another and, for some people, anxiety can really begin to have an impact on your daily life. But that&#8217;s not an inevitability and you can take positive action to address it.</p>



<p>After the initial chat, I settled down onto the therapy couch, head propped on a big comfy cushion, blanket over me and eye mask on. For a busy working Mum, just the chance to have a lie down in the middle of the day felt like therapy, but there&#8217;s so much more to it than that, with sound therapy and positive affirmations to help guide you to a place of greater confidence and self-worth. At no point did I lose control, so don&#8217;t imagine that you won&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re doing or saying. Shelly&#8217;s hypnotherapy method is meditative and harnesses the power of the senses and subtle suggestion, as you drift into a state of total relaxation. I didn&#8217;t fall asleep during the session, but I definitely did not remain fully conscious, as Shelley&#8217;s soft voice and the sound of the singing bowls, lulled me into a semi-trance. When I came back to my awareness, I felt slightly blurry, but also restored and realigned, as though there was nothing weighing down on me. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-muddy-verdict">THE MUDDY VERDICT</h2>



<p><strong>Good for:</strong> There are so many concerns that can be addressed with hypnotherapy and Shelly will help with everything from nail biting and performance at work to more debilitating pathologies including alcohol and drug dependence. The main thing is that you have to be open to and ready for change. And if plinky plonky vibes set your teeth on edge, this is a soft way into alternative therapy. </p>



<p><strong>Not for</strong>: If you&#8217;re expecting a magic panacea, then you might well be disappointed, as with anything that&#8217;s worth doing you need to be prepared to put the work in. </p>



<p><strong>The damage:</strong> An initial 90 minute consultation and therapy session costs £145, with subsequent 60 minute sessions at £95 each. </p>
