Frequently asked questions

“ Is clinical hypnotherapy the same as I have seen performed by stage hypnotists? ”

Although similar, hypnotherapy uses the power of the mind to heal rather than make you act in a particular way. You will not begin to sing like Elvis or bark like a dog .

“ Will I be asleep during therapy?”

No, you will be aware during all elements of the therapy, although you may feel relaxed.

“ Can anyone meditate? ”

Anyone can meditate, although with practice, deeper meditative states can be achieved.

“ Are your therapies safe? ”

Yes, I am fully trained and a member of the relevant industry bodies and associations. I also comply with a strict code of ethics.

“ How long does a therapy session last? ”

Typically between 1 to 1.5 hours, although this will depend upon the goals of each session. I will discuss this with you prior to your appointment.

“ How many sessions will I need”

This varies from client to client and depends upon the exact goal of the therapy, but typically will be between 3 and 6 sessions.

“ Will it hurt?”

The therapies used are painless.
