SERVICES

Welcome to Inverclyde Therapy Centre

We provide group and individual therapy from fully qualified, registered and insured therapists. Using hypnotherapy and reiki we can address a range of problems from relaxation and confidence building, through stress relief and weight loss, to addictions and phobias.

Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy


Hypnosis is a technique that can be used to aid the process of therapy. Some people fear hypnosis, having only encountered stage hypnosis. Hypnotherapy does not involve stage techniques. In fact, you cannot be hypnotised unless you are a willing participant. Therefore, it is essential that you build up a good rapport with your therapist. You cannot be forced into a hypnotic state

If you choose Hypnotherapy to free yourself from problems or to advance your potential it is imperative that you choose someone who is qualified and registered with an appropriate body. You must also feel comfortable with the therapist.. But remember, your 'cure' is a two way process and it is your mind that is enacting that cure. The therapist is only guiding you through.

Hypnosis used in therapy works by allowing you access to your unconscious mind. This is the greater part of your mind, which contains all your emotions, attitudes, habits and beliefs. Your conscious mind is the logical part that runs your daily life, the one-tenth that you are aware of!

Reiki


Traditional Reiki originated in Japan in the mid 1800's with Mikao Usui. It is said that Usui was a Christian minister who could not find enough information on the ways of the healing that was carried out by Jesus, so he moved on in his search by looking at Buddhism.

It is administered by the "laying on of hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "Spiritual Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

The act of laying hands is to comfort and relieve pain, and it is as old as instinct itself. The human instinct is to place a hand on an area where there is pain as the warmth conveyed aids the healing process.

Reiki practitioners have to be attuned to allow them to offer healing to others. The Reiki healer experiences a heat radiating through her/his hands to the client who receives the healing. The attunement simply opens channels that were always there.
