What happens in a hypnotherapy session?

Initially we will talk about the nature of your issue – this helps me understand how you have come to this point in your life. This also allows time for us to get comfortable with each other and you can ask any questions you like.

We usually spend some time looking at what hypnotherapy is, how it works, why it works and some simple examples that help your understanding.

All of this is completely confidential. After this I tailor an individual approach to the issue and deliver the therapy based on our negotiated goals, modifying the therapy according to our progress.

We will talk about what the actual hypnosis state feels like and what you can expect to happen; usually it requires you to make yourself comfortable. We then work through a number of relaxation exercises and then begin the process.

I have treated hundreds and hundreds of people – everyone responds a little differently. The overall feeling seem to be that it’s a pleasant, relaxing experience that many begin to look forward to. I can’t get you to do anything you really don’t want to do – this is why we spend time getting very clear on your goals and needs. Then we can proceed to get you doing the things that you really want to do.

Hypnotherapy is a safe and very powerful technique in the right hands. Always check your practitioner’s credentials, professional registration and insurance before proceeding.
