FAQs

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is the bringing together of the conscious and subconscious minds in a trance state.  It is a safe, powerful technique creating a deeply relaxed state of the body, mind and emotions.  It is also a perfectly natural state that we are often in during our everyday lives i.e. whilst watching television, reading a book, or doing repeated tasks.

During the session I will guide you into a relaxed trance state by the sound of my voice.  Trance is not sleep but a deeply relaxed state.  This state is hugely beneficial, as your brain is not only at its optimum resting point, but also at its optimum productivity.

In this relaxed state, the subconscious mind accepts suggestions to promote and reinforce positive messages.  So, all positive solution focused suggestions will be taken on board.

Is it safe?

Yes.  You will simply be relaxed.  Should you need to become fully alert during the trance part of the session, then you will be able to do this automatically just like snapping yourself out of a day dream.

Will I reveal personal secrets whilst in Hypnosis?

No. Hypnotherapy is not the same as stage hypnosis, you are in full control of all you say and do.

How many sessions will it take?

The number of sessions required varies.

Phobias usually take 4 sessions, Quit Smoking is 1 session which lasts up to two hours. Other issues are largely dependent upon the client and the presenting issue.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is generally a rapid psychological approach compared with other forms of psychotherapy and many clients notice significant changes after 3-6 sessions, however, I do not have a magic wand! You will need to work with me, for instance, by listening to my download.
