The hypnotherapy Sheffield deserves is at Focused Hypnosis

We love Sheffield!

Sheffield is the UK's eighth largest city and is known throughout the world as "The Steel City" thanks to our industrial heritage (which is now sadly all but gone). The people of Sheffield are not hard as steel though and sometimes need some help to deal with life's issues.

The University of Sheffield - Firth Court

In the city we have Sheffield Hallam which hosts 31,000 students and University and the University of Sheffield which is ranked the 13th best in the UK and 82nd in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2018.

This means that a large number of the people who seek help from Focused Hypnosis are students looking for help coping with the stresses and strains of student life.

Just a few of Sheffield's 2 million trees

Sheffield is also known for its greenery. It is claimed that there are 2 million trees in Sheffield with more trees per head of population than any other city in Europe. There are some that claim that Sheffield is the greenest city in Europe but Sheffield is actually only the 6th greenest city in the UK.

Sheffield is also on the edge of the Peak District which means that within 30 minutes most people in the city can find themselves in the wilds of the Peaks. This has lead to the city slowly being more commonly known as "The Outdoor City" rather than "The Steel City".

The reason this is important is that trees and nature generally can reduce levels of stress, anxiety, depression and obesity. While our environment might mean that Sheffielders are less prone to these problems they still exist for some individuals.

That is where hypnotherapy can make a big difference. To read more about how you could benefit from hypnotherapy read the blog posts related to the issue you wish to tackle or read the issue specific page found in the menu at the top of this page.

How many sessions of hypnotherapy do you need?

Different people need a different number of sessions, even if each person has the same issue. As a general rule though, the average number of treatment sessions people have is about three.

How often will I need to have hypnosis sessions?

At the beginning it is usually best to have each treatment session around 7 days apart. This gives the work done in each session the time to sink in and to be processed by the brain and during this time you may begin to notice your thoughts, attitudes or behaviours changing.

How long do the effects of hypnotherapy last?

Some people find that a treatment process can last for the rest of their life. It is affected by the severity of the issue, the circumstances the client is dealing with and the skill and experience of the hypnotherapist.

What issues can hypnosis treat?

Hypnotherapists are usually generalists rather than specialists. A generalist is like a GP/doctor. They see people for all sorts of different issues and are pretty good at helping most people to some degree. However, if you have a serious health issue and your GP said “I could have a go at treating you but to be honest I have never done this kind of procedure before” it wouldn't exactly fill you with confidence would it? Compare that to a specialist who says “The only field I work in is this one and I see people day in and day out with the exact issue you have and I know exactly what I am doing when I treat this.” Who inspires more confidence? The specialist of course! The downside is that there aren't many specialist hypnotherapists. As a result a generalist will probably be easier to find. Issues hypnotherapists often treat are weight loss, phobias, stopping smoking, and confidence issues (like public speaking – the UK's #1 phobia).

How much does hypnosis cost?

This is usually one of the questions most people want to know. You could find a cheap hypnotherapist that charges as little as £40 per session and sometimes for this price you can get someone who is good at what they do. Equally you might be able to find some that charge £90 per session and they might be rubbish at what they do. I would recommend finding a hypnotherapist you want to work with that takes account of their cost but also focuses on other factors like the number and quality of their reviews, the quality of their website, the gut instinct you get from speaking to them and if they work at home out of a back bedroom or if they have a professional clinic.

Who is the best hypnotherapist in Sheffield?

The best hypnotherapist for you is the one who get you the result you are looking for. There is a much higher chance of your hypnotherapist help you specifically if they can prove they have helped others with a similar issue. Good hypnotherapists tend to have been in business for a number of years. A good hypnotherapist will often work from a private office rather than a converted room at home.
Focused Hypnosis was established in 2009, is one of the highest rated hypnotherapy clinics in the city and is based at the Sheffield Wellness Centre which is one of Sheffield's fastest growing private health clinics.
