Whilst counselling and psychotherapy are often considered the same, or very similar, in general, counselling is usually short term (6-20 sessions) and issue specific (i.e. grief counselling or relationship counselling, whereas psychotherapy tends to take place over a longer period of time and can cover a wide range of issues.

Despite what stage hypnotists and films would make you think, hypnosis is not mind control and it cannot make you do anything that you do not want to do. It is actually a natural process and the hypnotic trance is something we've all experienced in our daily lives. During the process you are alert and in control at all times, whilst being in a state of total relaxation.
Hypnosis works by directly instilling new thoughts into the subconscious mind, where all our habits and beliefs reside, thereby allowing is to upgrade out-dated habits and beliefs to ones we now desire.
