Frequently Asked Questions

All sessions are tailored to your individual needs and goals for therapy, so the number of sessions required varies for each individual. Many clients will benefit from just 3 or 4 sessions. Generally we recommend a complete course of treatment  to include at least  4–6 sessions, but you may wish to continue beyond this. We also offer packages for specific issues which can be booked in a block, saving you £10 per session.

Sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly but this can be flexible depending on your circumstances and goals for therapy. Each session is one hour in duration.

Hypnosis is actually a natural process that we do throughout the day without thinking about it. Everyone’s experience of hypnosis is different, but It can feel a bit like being so absorbed in a film or book, that time flies by. We are still aware of everything around us, but our minds are deeply  focused on something else. Hypnosis is just increased internal focus, allowing you to become receptive and resourceful, which encourages neuroplasticity (positive changes within your brain) This will help you make long term changes to achieve your goals.

Absolutely not! You are free to come out of hypnosis whenever you wish. Hypnosis is just increased internal focus, allowing you to become receptive and resourceful, you are always in control.

Absolutely not, unless you wish to. Hypnotherapy and various other therapeutic modalities can be used to process trauma without your therapist even being aware of the content of the traumatic experience. We will only ever discuss as much as  you are comfortable to share.

Absolutely not, your therapist will go through a detailed consultation with you, in order to agree upon achievable goals that you feel comfortable and aligned with.

We hear this all the time, you are never overreacting by seeking therapy. Your feelings and experiences are absolutely valid. Everyone's goals for therapy are different, your experiences and challenges are relative to you and how they are impacting your quality of life.

It’s important that you feel comfortable and able to share openly with your therapist. Evidence shows that the relationship between a client and their therapist is fundamental in the efficacy of the treatment. Feedback is so important and enables us to adjust the approach to suit you, however If you feel that you’re just not gelling with your therapist, we will happily refer you to a colleague; your therapeutic experience is our primary concern.

Not at all! Stage hypnosis is nothing like hypnotherapy. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and you will be in full control, just with heightened internal focus. You are free to choose which suggestions you take onboard during hypnosis. There is zero magic or mind control involved!
