# Aktive Hypnotherapy

Aktive Hypnotherapy is a clinical hypnotherapy practice based in Nottingham, with an additional clinic in Mansfield, serving clients across the East Midlands including Derby and Leicester. Led by experienced practitioner Shayne Rice, the clinic specialises in using clinical hypnotherapy to help clients access their unconscious mind and overcome a wide range of personal challenges.

The practice distinguishes itself through education and demystification. Rather than perpetuating stage hypnosis stereotypes, Aktive Hypnotherapy clearly explains that hypnosis is a natural, altered state of awareness—similar to daydreaming—where the analytical conscious mind is temporarily bypassed to access the unconscious mind's resources. This approach builds client confidence and removes common misconceptions that prevent people from seeking help.

The clinic treats diverse issues including phobias (flying, heights, spiders), smoking cessation, weight management through virtual gastric band therapy, anxiety, public speaking fears, stress, IBS, pain control, confidence building and relationship issues. Each treatment is tailored to the individual's needs.

What sets Aktive Hypnotherapy apart is their commitment to clinical standards combined with an accessible, approachable philosophy. They directly counter myths about hypnotherapy, explaining that anyone with average concentration can be hypnotised, and that the experience varies between individuals without affecting treatment success. This transparency, paired with their comprehensive treatment range and flexible clinic locations, makes them a trusted local resource for those seeking hypnotherapeutic solutions.
