Our online virtual consultation room is just as effective as our in-person clinic. It couldn’t be easier. We email you a link and you click the link at the time of the scheduled appointment. We welcome you and start the session. No stress, no fuss – simply instant support.

Try to make sure you are not going to be disturbed for an hour. Clients either sit on a chair at a desk, or next to a settee or by their bed. They sit up during the talking section then relax back during the relaxation part. Choose your preferred option – they all work.

Safe, private, professional and very effective!

Childhood anxiety can take the form of a few different disorders, including:
– Generalized Anxiety. This is a common disorder, where children worry about things like school, family, or the future. Besides a looming sense of dread, physical symptoms may manifest like headaches, stomach aches, muscle tension, or tiredness.
– OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Kids with OCD express their anxiety through obsessions and compulsions.
– Phobias. Intense fears about certain things or situations like clowns, small spaces, etc. Children with phobias will avoid the things that they fear.
– Social Phobia (Social Anxiety). This is triggered when speaking in front of others or other social situations. A less common form of social anxiety is called selective mutism, where children or teens are too afraid to talk in certain situations.
– Panic Attacks. These anxiety episodes can happen at any time without warning. Physical symptoms that children can experience are a pounding heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, numbness, or tingling feelings.
– PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). This anxiety disorder stems from a prior traumatic experience. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, fear, and avoidance of the traumatic event that caused the anxiety

Gareth & Enfys did a presentation today to Penarth Ageing Well Club at Glyndwr Hall. This was the second time we’ve given a talk there – the first was when we just started as The Penarth Practice. It was lovely to be invited back today!
To start, they had their regular Keep Fit Exercise Class (funnily enough with Jane, an old ballet school friend of Enfys’s) and, after tea and coffee, we talked about The Power of The Positive 3 (Positive Thoughts, Positive Actions, Positive Interactions).
This talk is a part of The Natural Brain Chemistry Show from Alchemy Hypnotherapy, which will tour venues from late Spring.

A Solution Focused View to Mental Health and Wellbeing

Being Negative is a Bad Habit

Habits are created through repetition. Processing our lives in a negative way actually leads our mind to perceive that we are in some sort and crisis or emergency. Consequently, it promotes behavioural patterns and responses that spiral us out-of-control and into self-perpetuated negative feedback loops. As a result, instead of ‘living’ in the fabulous here and now, we struggle in survival mode.

All humans have the innate resources to effectively control their thought processes in a positive way. And, doing this means the ‘Guard’ part of the brain can relax and the intellectual, rational part can stay in control. How we ‘think’ is how we ‘feel’. So this better management of our mind is going to mean we’re also going to ‘feel’ a lot better too. The healers and ancient wisdom has known for years that our emotions effect our health. Now the latest psychoneuroimmunology (emotions-brain-immune system) is proving this .

Turn Things Around

So start practicing to become the master of your own thought processes. Burst those thought balloons of negativity and ‘practice’ being positive and optimistic. It might feel unnatural, strange or uncomfortable at first. But practice makes perfect. In time this will feel the natural way to be.

habits are formed through repetition. So, now, turn your default button from negative to positive and start enjoying the benefits. You’ll soon notice how this different perspective on life has a positive effect on many other areas of your life. By taking a Solution Focused neuroscientific view, life can be always better!

Need Help?

For therapeutic support and guidance in this we have modes of support to suit all needs and preferences. Alchemy Hypnotherapy’s Holy Trinity of help with mental health issues, life challenges or achieving goals is: our Alchemy Clinic (in Penarth), our Alchemy Clinic (Online) or our Alchemy Courses.

Be Your Own Alchemist…

With Alchemy Hypnotherapy, you will not only acquire the necessary knowledge to transform your life, you will learn how to apply that knowledge.

We can work with you WHEREVER YOU ARE!

Alchemy Hypnotherapy has a fantastic new Online Clinic. Using our bespoke software, all you have to do is click a link and enter your own personal consulting room.
Here we can share whiteboards (eg we can draw pictures of the brain, the parts that work for you or sometimes conspire against you, neuron-to-neuron connections, etc); share documents and files and annotate them live to highlight the most important parts; to co-browse (eg to look at internet research, articles of interest, watch videos, etc) but most of all to see each other and talk, face-to-face, over an internet video conferencing platform that’s like Skype on steroids! (The Solution Focused part)
Then we switch to Audio-only for the Hypnotherapy / Relaxation part…
So you don’t have to come to our lovely clinic in Penarth and you don’t even have to leave your home or rocket!

A USEFUL GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND WORDS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR WORK THAT WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND QUICKLY AND EASILY WHAT ALCHEMY HYPNOTHERAPY IS ALL ABOUT.

ALCHEMY HYPNOTHERAPY

Natural Brain Chemistry, Creating Positive Change!

What is Alchemy? The early alchemists were chemists (pharmacists) – our modern Alchemy is about producing the right balance of natural chemicals in the brain and body to promote health, wellbeing and success (writing and formulating your own prescription).

What is Hypnotherapy? Hypnosis combined with therapeutic techniques.

What is Alchemy Hypnotherapy? Advanced Medical Hypnotherapy and Clinical Solution Focused Psychotherapy, combined with knowledge from:

  • science (Quantum, Medical Neuroscientific, Psychoneuroimmunology)
  • complementary / holistic therapies (Reflexology, Massage, Tarot, Mediumship, Crystals)
  • therapeutic practices / approaches (CBT, Mindfulness, Meditation, NLP)
  • ancient mystical / energy healing work – the rich history of (Quantum, Coherence, Reiki, Shamanism)
  • physical disciplines (Dance, Yoga, Tai Chi, Music, Singing, Sport)

All of which create a potent blend of knowledge to facilitate magical, therapeutic change. None of these techniques are used in a literal sense but they provide a theoretical body of resources that relate to human innate needs and are an invaluable source of inspiration and guidance.

What is Medical Hypnotherapy? This advanced technique specialises in medical and clinical issues.

What is a Hypnotherapist? A therapist using hypnosis and therapeutic techniques with another person.

What is Clinical Solution Focused Psychotherapy?  This is the talking part of therapy, which focuses on present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences. This goal-oriented therapy is not problem focused. Instead, the therapist facilitates the client in developing a vision of the future and lighting the way as they achieve that vision successfully.

What is Hypnosis? A focused state of consciousness.

What is Clinical Hypnosis? The use of hypnotherapeutic approaches for clinical (medical/dental) purposes e.g. helping a client to reduce high blood pressure. 

ALL HYPNOSIS IS SELF-HYPNOSIS

What is Hypnotist? A person who creates a state of hypnosis in another person.

What does Hypnotise mean? To use hypnosis techniques to create a state of hypnosis in another person.

What is Hypnotism? The act of inducing or creating hypnosis in another person.

What is Self-Hypnosis? Using an induction to put one’s self into hypnosis and then giving self-suggestions and possibly using hypnosis techniques within the hypnotic state. 

What is Stage Hypnosis? Hypnosis, combined with suggestions for entertainment purposes (usually entertaining).

What are Hypnoidal States? This can also be referred to as waking hypnosis. A state that has some aspects of dissociation and resembles light hypnosis, yet created (induced) by natural processes rather than purposeful hypnosis. Examples of this are daydreaming, driving (highway hypnosis), becoming engrossed in a book or movie, or zoning out during repetitive exercise (e.g. treadmill). 

What is Hypnotic Induction? The approach/technique used to create a state of hypnosis. 

What is a Hypnotic Deepener? The method of intensifying the state of hypnosis following an induction. 

What is an Awakening? Also called alerting, re-alerting or de-hypnotising. The approach used to return a hypnotised person to their normal waking state. 

What are Suggestions? Constructive things said to a client to generate a positive response (in or out of hypnosis). 

What is the Autonomic Nervous System?

Sympathetic: When activated causes physiological changes to occur, preparing the body for fight/flight. Tension. Occurs naturally during in-breath.

Parasympathetic: A self-regulating, stabilizing system that brings a person back to a state of balance, or homeostasis. Relaxation. Occurs naturally during out-breath. (Trance / Hypnosis is very beneficial to help this process.)

What is REM (Rapid eye movement)? A rapid ‘flickering’ of the eyelids, when closed, due to movement of the eyes. REM occurs during dreaming sleep (see: ‘Brainwaves – Theta’) and also during medium/deep hypnosis. These are the only two times REM naturally occurs.

What is The Subconscious Mind? This is the part of the mind that works in the background below the level of our awareness. It works within patterns that respond to the continual stream of commands given by our thoughts, emotions, hopes and desires and is the caretaker, ensuring all the necessary survival mechanisms are operational. It files all learning, experiences (both positive and negative) and memories and is especially accessible through hypnotic suggestion.
