Put simply, Hypnotherapy is ‘meditation with goals’.During a session, I will guide you into a deeply relaxed state, allowing your mind to become more open to positive suggestions. From there, I’ll use a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs, including visualisations, to help shift limiting beliefs and tap into your full potential.

Your first session will be a combination of consultation and hypnotherapy, lasting around 90 minutes. We’ll start by discussing your goals and the changes you want to achieve. This is followed by a guided hypnotherapy session aimed at calming your nervous system and preparing your mind for positive change. Throughout the process, you'll stay fully aware and in control.

The initial consultation is combined with a relaxing hypnotherapy session and lasts up to 90 minutes. All sessions thereafter are up to 1 hour.

The number of sessions depends on your individual needs and the issue you're addressing. Once we have the initial consultation, I’ll be able to give you a better idea of roughly how many sessions are required. I use a solution-focused approach designed to achieve your desired outcome in as few sessions as possible. My goal is to help you create lasting change efficiently, without unnecessary prolonged treatment.

Yes, hypnotherapy can be effective for a variety of issues such as anxiety, stress, phobias, sleep problems, smoking cessation, confidence building, and more. It works by addressing your subconscious beliefs that may be contributing to these challenges.

No, hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation. You remain fully in control and aware throughout the process. You will not do anything against your will or values.

Most people can enter a light state of hypnosis, which is sufficient for most types of therapeutic work. It’s a collaborative process, and I’ll work with you to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Yes, hypnotherapy is a safe and natural therapy when practised by a trained professional. It does not involve any invasive techniques and works by gently guiding you into a state of deep relaxation to support positive change.

Hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious mind to encourage positive change, while many other therapies focus mainly on conscious thought processes. I blend both approaches, addressing the conscious mind and the subconscious patterns that drive habits. Hypnotherapy can be used on its own or alongside other therapies, depending on your needs.

No special preparation is needed. Just come with an open mind and a willingness to engage in the process. The more motivated you are, the more likely it will be that you achieve your desired goal.

No, in addition to hypnotherapy, I use Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which identifies and challenges irrational beliefs, replacing them with more rational, empowering thoughts. I also use other modalities such as EFT tapping and EMIT. I tailor each session to your needs, integrating these techniques to help you achieve lasting change. It’s not a one size fits all approach - each session will always be tailored specifically to you.

Yes, smoking cessation is one of the most effective uses of hypnotherapy. It typically requires just one session, and payment includes a follow-up if needed. We’ll focus on breaking the habit and reinforcing positive behaviours, helping you quit for good.
