Most people look forward to their retirement. But as the time draws nearer, some people become concerned, the main anxieties typically being loss of purpose and change in self-identity.

Change hypnotherapy is becoming an increasingly popular way of helping people cope with the potentially dramatic transition from work to retirement. It facilitates controlled social, emotional, cognitive and physical adjustment, empowering individuals to make the most of this exciting and challenging new phase of life.

At the initial consultation each individual's unique situation and experiences are assessed, and then specific treatment programmes devised, tailored to individual requirements. By combining relaxation hypnosis, stress hypnotherapy, confidence hypnosis and hypnotherapy counselling, treatment tends to focus on helping people set realistic, attainable goals, building self-esteem and confidence, enhancing cognitive and physical functioning, encouraging skill use and skill acquisition, and on effective status / role adjustment.
