Frequently Asked Questions

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything”
George Bernard Shaw

  • Hypnotherapy is a talking therapy that uses hypnosis to harness the power of your mind to change your thinking patterns, unhelpful emotions and beliefs.

    It works by using your imagination, values and views, to change the way you think, feel and act.

  • Hypnosis is a a simple yet powerful way of using your mind to influence your feelings, thoughts and actions.

    Hypnosis absorbs your imagination and you become engaged with a new idea of how things can change for the better.

    Meanwhile, you’re shutting out anything that stops you focusing and creates a response in your body and mind they remember.

  • In hypnosis, you remain aware and in control the whole time.  You can move and talk.  Once you’ve learnt how to do it, it’s easy to take yourself in and out of hypnosis whenever you want.

    All hypnosis is essentially self hypnosis. You can’t be hypnotised unless you want to. You can always choose to bring yourself out of hypnosis at any time.

    Using self hypnosis, you learn to manage your thoughts, self talk and beliefs so you can live a more effective, engaged and meaningful life.

  • Almost everyone can be hypnotised, although some people find it easier. It’s a skill that can be learnt and practiced.

    Hypnotism depends on your willingness to be hypnotised and your trust and confidence in your therapist. It doesn’t matter how deeply you go into hypnosis as good results can be obtained even when you feel you were not deeply hypnotised.

    Hypnotherapy groups programmes are a practical and accessible way to try out and experience the benefits of hypnotherapy for yourself.

    My groups are a safe space where you can connect with those who have the same struggles.

    You’ll get the benefits of working with me and the help and support of  others who are all working towards the same goals.  My groups are small so you get to have a personal experience.  You also have a forum to share challenges, experiences and insights.   You’ll get to use hypnosis and other tried and tested tools to help you to develop a more resilient approach to life.

    Over six sessions you’ll develop skills to help you to change the way you approach life.  You’ll learn by doing simple, practical exercises that will leave you feeling more confident in yourself.  We’re all unique so you’ll be guided to personalise and apply the techniques in your own life.  Whatever we learn and practice together, you’ll be able to personalise and apply to your own situation as you progress.

  • I offer in person and online appointments to suit you.  You can choose to mix and match how you would like your appointments so they work best for you and the demands of your busy, pressured life.  You receive private one to one sessions with me, either in person at the clinic of your choice or on Zoom.  We agree the appointments in advance so they are at the most convenient time and place for you.

    Online therapy is ideal for people who have busy lives and don’t have the time or energy to spend hours travelling to and from appointments. It is perfect for commuters, busy, working or stay-at-home parents, those who work full-time or unsociable hours.

    If you live in a remote area or have disabilities, social anxiety or phobias that make social interaction difficult, online therapy means you can get the help you need from the comfort and security of your own home.

    Research shows that online therapy is as effective as seeing your therapist in person1.

    Many people prefer working online. They are relaxed when they start their session, as they haven’t spent ages juggling complicated childcare arrangements or stuck in traffic, worrying if they’re going to be late. They get the most from the sessions as they feel completely comfortable in their own home, or using a private room at work.

    You don’t need any special software or technical knowledge. I send you a link for you to click and then we’re good to go. All you need is a computer, tablet or smartphone with a built in camera and microphone.
