The number of sessions varies based on your individual needs. We will discuss this during the initial consultation.

To get the best results from our hypnotherapy sessions, I would recommend weekly sessions. I have found that clients make quicker progress and need fewer sessions when committed to weekly appointments. I understand that this is not always possible and we can discuss this during the initial consultation.

To get the very best from the sessions, full commitment from you is vitally important. 

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is safe. It is considered a natural and therapeutic alternative to address stress related conditions. 

Whilst in a hypnotic state, clients are in a deep relaxation and heightened focus to facilitate positive change, but remain aware of their surroundings, and remain in control at all times. Clients can hear, talk and come out of relaxation any time if they wish to do so. 

Can the hypnotherapist make me do things like I see in the pubs for entertainment value? 

No! Solution focused hypnotherapy is nothing like what you see on television or in a pub on a Saturday night.

I cannot make you do anything you don't want to do. I cannot make you bark like a dog or cluck like a chicken. You won't tell me all your deep dark secrets and there won't be a pocket watch in sight.

Throughout the hypnosis, you can choose to keep your eyes open if you wish, although many clients find it more relaxing to close their eyes. I will read a series of language patterns which are aimed to access both the conscious and subconscious mind as they come together in focus. This makes hypnosis a powerful tool for fostering positive change, whilst addressing issues such as anxiety, phobias, improving habits such as smoking/vaping, and even weight loss.

What can I expect in the Initial consultation?

During the initial consultation, we'll explore your motivations for seeking hypnotherapy and clarify how you would benefit from it. It's important for me to gather some personal details and information regarding your health so that I have a better understanding of your circumstances and the challenges you have faced. Providing a relaxed environment and establishing a trusting relationship are key, as I want you to feel comfortable getting to know me.

As we talk, I’ll share insights about how the brain works and the underlying reasons for your feelings and thoughts. I will present this information in a straightforward and approachable manner, making it easy for you to grasp and understand. Many clients find that this knowledge not only enhances their understanding of their own experiences but also serves as a foundational step toward shifting their mindset and making positive changes.

I’ll also outline what you can expect in future sessions and provide you with the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. This process ensures that solution-focused hypnotherapy aligns with your needs and that you feel confident in my approach as your hypnotherapist. Your comfort is one of my priorities, and I’m here to support you on your journey!
