Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and suggestions to help you access your subconscious mind. This process can empower you to break free from limiting beliefs, reduce stress, and create positive, lasting changes in your thoughts and behaviors.

2. Will I lose control during hypnotherapy?

Not at all! You remain fully in control throughout the entire process. Hypnotherapy is not like stage hypnosis; it’s a collaborative experience where you stay aware and can choose to accept or reject any suggestions.

3. Can everyone be hypnotized?

Most people can enter a state of hypnosis, as it’s a natural state of focused relaxation that we all experience daily (like daydreaming). If you’re open to the process and willing to engage, hypnotherapy can work for you.

4. What does being in hypnosis feel like?

Hypnosis feels like a state of deep relaxation, similar to being in a meditative or “zoned-out” state. You’re calm, comfortable, and aware, yet deeply focused on the suggestions provided.

5. Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is a safe and well-regarded therapeutic practice when conducted by a trained professional. It’s a natural and non-invasive way to create positive change.

6. How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and the complexity of the issue. Some clients experience significant change after one session, while others may benefit from a series of sessions for deeper transformation.

7. What issues can hypnotherapy help with?

Hypnotherapy is effective for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Stress and anxiety management.

• Building confidence and self-esteem.

• Breaking bad habits (like smoking or overeating).

• Improving sleep quality.

• Overcoming fears and phobias.

• Enhancing focus and productivity.

8. Can I get “stuck” in hypnosis?

No, it’s impossible to get stuck in hypnosis. If the session were to end abruptly, you would either return to full awareness naturally or drift into a light sleep before waking up feeling refreshed.

9. How is hypnotherapy different from meditation?

While both involve relaxation and focus, hypnotherapy includes targeted suggestions designed to address specific goals or issues. Meditation often emphasizes mindfulness and presence without specific outcomes.

10. Do I have to believe in hypnotherapy for it to work?

While being open to the process helps, hypnotherapy doesn’t require unwavering belief to be effective. It works by accessing your subconscious mind, which is receptive to positive change, regardless of initial skepticism.

11. Can hypnotherapy replace medical or psychological treatments?

Hypnotherapy is a complementary approach and should not replace professional medical or psychological care. It works best alongside traditional treatments for overall well-being. If you are receiving medical or psychological treatments please speak to your medical professional before applying for a bespoke hypnotherapy program.

12. What happens after a hypnotherapy session?

After a session, you may feel deeply relaxed and more focused on your goals. Many clients report immediate shifts in mindset, while others notice gradual improvements over time as the suggestions take root in their subconscious mind.

13. How can I prepare for my first session?

Simply come with an open mind and a clear idea of what you want to achieve. Wear comfortable clothing and ensure you have a quiet, private space, where you will not be disturbed. Let the people you live with know not to bother you for the duration of the session.

14. What is included in the package?

As detailed above, this program includes an initial consultation call, hypnotherapy treatment plan (PDF), your own personalised hypnotherapy recording (mp3) and an integration call.
