Hypnotherapy with Dr David Kraft

Hypnotherapy is not a therapy by itself. Dr David Kraft uses hypnosis as an adjunct to his therapeutic approach, which combines hypnotherapy with psychotherapy. Some clients require more time in the psychotherapy to work through issues than others, whereas some individuals are able to resolve inner conflicts and find more adaptive ways of leading their lives in a relatively short period of time. Dr Kraft uses a number of hypnotic techniques in therapy, but he is a firm believer in the power of content-free therapy which provides the client with the control and the means to effect change in their own unique way. In addition, Dr Kraft uses Brief Strategic Hypnotherapy to help clients quickly and efficiently to take control of their lives. After an initial consultation session, the therapy will be tailor-made to suit the client’s needs.

Dr David Kraft takes a tremendous amount of care in the initial consultation session to build rapport with his patients and to listen very carefully. Generally, he will not diagnose or even label symptoms; but, rather, he will be guided by each individual before treatment begins.

Here is a list of some of them:  Anxiety (see article)  Alcoholism (see article)  Stress  Eating Disorders (Anorexia Nervosa & Bulimia Nervosa)  Sexual Dysfunction (see article)  Lack of Confidence  Depression  Anger  Phobias* (including Social Phobia and Agoraphobia) (see article)  Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) (see article)  Exam Stress  Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) (see article)  Sleep Disorders (including insomnia, nightmares and night terrors) (see article)  Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)  Grief (and Bereavement)  Migraines  Snoring (and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome)  Performance Anxiety (Musical, Public Speaking, Sports)  Panic Attacks  Pain Relief  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
