FAQ

Everyone is different, so the number of sessions varies depending on your situation and how deeply the issue affects you. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy often works quite quickly. Most people have 6–12 sessions, sometimes more. Certain issues — such as simple phobias — can often be resolved in around 4 sessions.
After your Initial Consultation, I’ll be able to offer a clearer idea of what feels right for you.

Yes, absolutely. Online hypnotherapy is just as effective as working together in person. Many clients prefer being in the comfort of their own home. All you need is a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted for an hour.

Hypnotherapy can be a powerful way to create positive change — whether that’s in your thoughts, feelings, habits, or physical responses.
Your commitment plays an important part: attending your sessions, listening to your relaxation audio, and being open to small changes between sessions.

While hypnotherapy is highly effective for many people, no therapist can guarantee results. Your willingness to engage is what truly supports the process.

This approach focuses on the future you want to create, rather than revisiting past difficulties. This positive, forward-looking perspective helps lay the foundations for meaningful and lasting change.
Through hypnosis, we work with the subconscious mind and utilise the brain’s natural ability to adapt and rewire itself. This supports the development of new, more helpful patterns.

Hypnosis — or trance — is a natural shift in awareness. It often feels like daydreaming or becoming absorbed in something, such as reading a book or watching a film. In this comfortable, relaxed state, your mind becomes calmer and more open to positive, helpful ideas. You remain fully in control, and you won’t do or accept anything that isn’t right for you.

The Initial Consultation is a calm and friendly conversation. We’ll explore what you’d like support with, discuss how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works, and outline what you can expect.
It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions and get a sense of whether this approach feels right for you.

No. You’ll be awake and aware, able to hear everything I say.
It feels more like deep relaxation than sleep, and you remain in control throughout.

Most people can, as long as they are willing to relax and follow the process. You don’t need any special skills — just an open mind and a willingness to engage.

Yes. Hypnotherapy is gentle and collaborative. You can bring yourself out of trance at any time, and you always remain in control.

It’s natural to feel unsure at first, especially if hypnotherapy is new to you. Most people find that any nerves quickly ease once they experience how calm and comfortable trance feels. We’ll always go at a pace that feels right for you.

I’ll give you a relaxation recording and simple tools to support your progress. Small, consistent steps make a big difference, and many clients enjoy building these moments of calm into their routine.

Hypnotherapy can complement many forms of care, but it isn’t a substitute for medical treatment or specialist mental health support. If something falls outside my scope, I will always guide you toward the appropriate professional help.
