FAQ
How do I book?
Simply send me a message through the contact page or give me a call (01803 445239) and we can arrange an initial consultation. This can be done in person, over the telephone or via Zoom / video call. This meeting takes approximately 20 minutes. During the meeting I will be able to answer any questions you may have, and I can explain exactly what to expect. We will discuss the reason you have sought hypnotherapy and based on that I will be able to outline how many sessions may be needed. Some issues can be resolved in just one session.
Once you are happy to proceed, we can then book you in for your first session which will take approximately 40-60 minutes. Payment is due 24 hours before your appointment. Sessions cost £60 and include audio hypnosis recordings for you to use at home.
What happens during a session?
Following our consultation I will design a deeply relaxing induction and deepener specifically suited to you to guide you to a heightened state of awareness. You remain in control at all times during hypnotherapy and cannot be made to do anything you don't want to.
This hypnotic state is completely natural, in fact we enter it several times a day without trying, for example if we are engrossed in a good book or film or when we do things on 'autopilot'.
From here, depending on your individual needs I will either offer positive suggestions or use regression or aversion techniques to help reframe your subconscious mind. I may also provide you with an anchor that you can use to re-create this feeling should you need it such as if you're experiencing a craving or fear.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies greatly depending on the individual and the issue they are wanting help with. In general, most phobias can be resolved in just one session. Any form of deep-rooted trauma and analysis can take three to four sessions. During consultation I will be able to give you a clear idea of how many sessions you may need.
What can hypnotherapy help with?
Hypnotherapy can help with almost every human condition and problem. Here is a list of the most common problems that hypnotherapy has a very high success rate at helping.:

Can everyone be hypnotised?
Yes but you have to want to be hypnotised for hypnotherapy to work and be open to it and not resistant. Some clients are referred by their GP for treatment or persuaded by well meaning family members or friends. This is often unsuccessful unless the client actually wants this for themselves.
