Everybody can go into a light trance, even if we don't think we can. It's a natural human behaviour for us and we all do it as we are drifting to sleep, or when we daydream and 'drift off' for a few minutes. All that's needed is to relax, and the guided visualisation helps you with that.

Solution focused hypnotherapy is a brief therapy; results are quicker than other therapies but there are no set rules. It's important for results to be long lasting and this happens with best effect on weekly sessions where we can gain momentum and we track progress each week. Following that we can have longer gaps between sessions to ensure that your treatment is continuing to be effective.

The initial consultation typically takes around an hour, where we discuss your goals and what you want to

achieve. I'll also ask a number of questions to guide you through. I'll explain how the brain works in relation to our work, to reassure you how you can regain control in a short period of time. I'll explain what typically happens during sessions and it gives you the opportunity to ask any questions.

No. Clinical hypnotherapy is a professional therapy unlike stage or TV entertainment. You will be in control the whole time and you will be fully aware of everything happening. Hypnotherapy is a safe, calming, and relaxing experience. Once you trust that your therapist is a friendly experienced professional with only your best interests at heart, most people are able to relax, take some time out, and enjoy the process and the results.
