FAQ

  • Everyone can experience hypnosis! Just relax, think positively, and imagine the things being suggested.

    Hypnosis is definitely not a state of sleep or unconsciousness. 90% of people report being aware of everything that happens, and some relaxation can help but is not essential to hypnosis.

  • Absolutely not. You might think about stage hypnosis or things you read in novels or see in movies. Those are very far from hypnosis in a therapeutic settings.

    You might experience discomfort when talking about issues, just like you would when talking to a friend, but there is nothing you will need to or even requested to do that you do not want to.

    All you need to bring with you is your open mind and willingness to work on the issues.

  • No, there is no scientific evidence that this can occur, just like you naturally wake up every morning without an alarm clock, you will simply come out of hypnosis if our call gets disconnected.

    As we want you to be aware of all what is being said you will be in control and actively participating even though your eyes are closed and you are deeply relaxed.

  • This really depends on your issue and it will be driven by your need. However, as a baseline, about 6-8 sessions is what expected to create results in general. It does not only depend on the complexity of the issue itself but also how much you invest in working on them between the sessions.

    CBH or Hypno-CBT® is one of the fast resulting therapy forms.

  • It is possible that the relaxation exercise make you doze off, however hypnosis and the therapy works best if you are fully awake and aware of what is happening. For this reason it is best if you are in seated position - unless you have physical issues -, but make it as comfortable as possible.

  • After the introductory call you will receive a few forms to fill in and we will schedule our first video call. This call might be longer than the normal 45-60 minute sessions as we will work out together what your achievable goal is.

    Ideally we will have a session in every week, near to the end of the therapy this will potentially increase to 2 weeks or more depending on your situation and need.

  • Absolutely.

    It really down to your preference as being in the comfort of your own home, no commuting, no stress around driving to and from location are great positives.

    If however you prefer in person therapy and live in or near Calne, Wiltshire, please reach out and discuss availability.

  • Hypnotic suggestion means that you will be experiencing certain helpful ideas at a level profound enough to directly influence our emotions and behaviour.

    Psychological and emotional problems can be seen as the result of negative thinking - a sort of “negative self-hypnosis” -, whereas hypnotherapy aims to encourage and suggest positive ideas (thoughts, images, emotions, behaviours) which lead to improvement.

    As an example:
    “With every breath you take, you begin to feel more grounded and self-assured. A quiet confidence grows inside you. Calm, steady, and real. You begin to trust yourself more, knowing that you are capable, strong, and ready for whatever comes next."
