During the initial consultation, we will discuss the issues for which you are seeking help and talk about how you would like things to be different. I will gather some general information from you and talk to you about how the brain works, how we can suffer in the way we do and most importantly, what we can do about it.

There is no trance session at this appointment but you will be given a copy of my relaxation recording to listen to at bed time. We will see a difference!

It is recommended that sessions are taken weekly

sessions begin with a discussion about all of the good things about your week., no matter how small. We then do a re-cap of how the brain works and how we can suffer in the ways that we do and why. After that I'll ask you some solution focused questions which will help guide you in the right direction so that you’ll be able to come up with your own small steps - steps that will help you to get to where you want to go, to reach and achieve your goals. You will essentially picture in your mind how your life could be if things were different. Once you are focusing on the solution, we finish with 25 minutes of ‘trance’ which will allow your subconscious mind to become more receptive to positive directions and accept that change is possible. This is a deeply relaxing and highly enjoyable experience - some say it’s the best part.

Depending on the reasons why you are seeking treatment, you may need 8,10,12, sometimes more sessions. Solution focused hypnotherapy works relatively quickly but is by no means a “quick fix”. Your commitment to positive change is crucial and by reinforcing your sessions with nightly use of the free recording, you will gain maximum, permanent results from your sessions.

With the use of an advanced therapeutic technique, borrowed from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Fears and phobias can be generally treated in four sessions. These consist of: The initial consultation, one general therapy session, the rewind session, followed by the reframe session.

It is advisable to have these sessions one week apart so if you are looking for treatment of a fear of flying for example, then make sure you have adequate time from the start of treatment until the day of the flight.

Results may vary and client cooperation is key. It must be your decision to attend hypnotherapy sessions and if you have been pressured to come along by a friend or family member then treatment may not be successful

A relaxation download will be sent following the initial consultation.

According to the British Medical Association (BMA), the use of hypnosis in stop smoking therapy is the most effective help available to those who are addicted to smoking.

If you have a conscious desire to stop smoking then I can help. During this one-off 2 hour long session, you will imagine how your life will be different if you stopped smoking.

*in order for smoking cessation to be effective, it must be your own decision to quit - if you have been persuaded by a friend or family member to attend then treatment may not be effective.

You will receive a copy of my relaxation recording to enhance the hypnotherapy session and continue to motivate you and reinforce your positive decision to quit.
