Hypnosis is sometimes referred to as an "altered state of consciousness" in which an individual can experience an increased receptiveness and responsiveness to their inner experiential perceptions. It is a state of heightened suggestibility in which a therapist can use suggestions to influence the patient's unconscious mind while their conscious mind remains relaxed.
Anyone who wants to be hypnotised can be. Conversely, if you do not want to be hypnotised you will not be. Cooperation is thus crucial in the assistance of therapeutic change rather than a 'power tool' that the therapist possesses to make you change against your will. How responsive you are to hypnosis and the depth of relaxation achieved is dependant on a number of factors.
Hypnotherapy can be used to treat a whole range of thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours effectively and relatively quickly. If the condition is not listed, please feel free to discuss your condition. Many patients have never considered their condition to be treatable using a hypnotherapy treatment or to consider their condition to have a stress or anxiety connection.
I am an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist and Stress Management Consultant. My practice in therapy is based on the strong belief that we have the potential to transform our experience. This can be achieved by using the inner resources within our minds. Hypnotherapy is an effective method that can help access these resources and empower the individual to achieve their full potential.
With The Advertising Standards Authority frowning upon anonymous testimonials because of the potential for the material to be fabricated, I have (voluntarily) chosen to remove those testimonials given by previous clients who wished to remain anonymous.

My consultations with Richard J D' Souza was successful from my very first visit. My problem ,what we call in clay shooting , is called, Trigger Freeze..... unable to pull the trigger to take the shot. It would happen both in practice, and competitions. It got me so mentally frustrating that l nearly gave up on the sport that l had enjoyed and loved for many years.
After discussion with Richard, he talked me through breath, and mental preparation, to help me relax. The very next day l was shooting a GB selection shoot, l focused on what we had discussed , and l became more confident and the shooting

Richard is a very grounded, experienced individual. He is quick to find root causes to problems and offer solutions in a calm and balanced way.
I worked with Richard for approximately one year. I was experiencing a myriad of issues related to self esteem, chronic fatigue, and depression. My interaction with him was limited to counseling from afar as we live in different countries. It was clear he's been treating people with anxiety/depression and fatigue for quite some time; he was quick to recognize patterns and offer the appropriate solution. He also was not afraid to amend his opinion as I

With a little trepidation, myself and my husband booked a session with Richard for our daughter who HAD a severe needle phobia. So bad was her phobia that she has had dental treatment with no anaesthesia and would also hyperventilate and pass out at just the sight of a needle.
Today after six sessions of hypnosis our daughter was able to have her first needle after 19 years!!! This is life changing for our daughter and we are so proud of her!
This was all down to Richards expertise and professionalism and we can’t thank him enough.
Highly recommended!!!

Highly professional and experienced therapist. I found his sessions to be perfect. I suffer from low self esteem issues and self doubt. I was initially sceptical about hypnotherapy. However, I found that his sessions were perfect in enabling me to improve my confidence and I feel more relaxed and less anxious. Highly recommended.

I had this very obscure phobia and thought that I would give Richard J D’Souza Hypnotherapy Cardiff a try. The visualization work helped me to ease my panic response. He also included some CBT work to challenge my thought processes and the outcome has been a great success. It’s been 3 months since my last treatment and the issue is out of sight and out of mind! Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help; since I attended hypnotherapy with you I have been able to approach many of the problems in my life in a different and more confident way.
The regression into my childhood helped me to face fears and deal with them; these fears had been with me for many years and were causing me a great deal of stress in my adult life. Some of the affects I had not even linked with problems I had today until they were brought to my attention through your therapy.
I will not hesitate to contact you if I decide to attend hypnotherapy again.
