Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural, and therapeutic process that combines relaxation with focused attention. It allows the conscious mind to quieten down so we can communicate more effectively with your subconscious—the part of the mind where our automatic responses, habits, and anxieties are stored.
No. This is the most common myth. You are always in control and can "wake up" or stop at any time. You cannot be made to say or do anything that goes against your values or willpower. Think of me as a guide on a journey; you are the one driving the car.
Most people describe it as a state of deep, pleasant relaxation, similar to daydreaming or that "drift" you feel just before falling asleep. Your body may feel heavy or light, but your mind will remain alert and aware of my voice.
Stage hypnosis is for entertainment and relies on "tricks" and highly suggestible volunteers. Clinical Hypnotherapy is a serious therapeutic tool used to create long-term, positive changes in your behavior, thoughts, and emotional well-being.
Because everyone is unique, the number of sessions varies. For specific phobias, we often see results in 3–4 sessions. For more deep-rooted generalized anxiety or confidence building, most clients find that 6–10 sessions allow for the most sustainable and lasting change.
Virtually everyone who wants to be hypnotised can be. It is a natural state of mind that we actually enter several times a day (like when you're absorbed in a book or driving on autopilot). If you are open to the process and feel comfortable, it will work for you.
Yes, it is completely safe and non-invasive. There are no side effects other than a sense of calm and clarity. However, if you have a history of severe mental health conditions like psychosis or epilepsy, please consult your GP before starting treatment.
Yes. Just like my Mindfulness coaching, Clinical Hypnotherapy is highly effective over video calls. As long as you have a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed, the results are just as powerful as in-person sessions.
