Frequently asked questions 

Below some of the most common questions people ask before starting therapy

What Is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that provides a way of working with deeper emotional and behavioural patterns that can influence how we feel, think and respond.

Hypnosis itself is a deeply relaxed state of focused attention, similar to being absorbed in a book, listening to music or daydreaming. During hypnosis, you remain aware, in control and able to speak at all times.

Hypnotherapy can be used to support a wide range of issues, including:

• Anxiety

• Low confidence

• Stress

• Childhood trauma

• Phobias

• Relationship patterns

• Emotional reactions

• Self-esteem
   

Is Hypnotherapy Safe?

Hypnotherapy is generally considered safe when delivered appropriately by an experienced practitioner. With more than 25 years of professional experience, I work in a calm, structured and supportive way, with your individual circumstances always taken into account.

​

You will never be made to do anything against your will, and you remain fully in control throughout the process.

If I feel that another form of support would be more appropriate for your situation, I will always be open about this.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

This varies depending on the issue you're seeking support with, your individual circumstances and what you would like to achieve.

​

Some people choose to have just a few sessions, while others benefit from working together for longer. We can discuss what may be appropriate for you during an initial conversation.

​

I don't believe in recommending a fixed number of sessions before understanding what you are experiencing.

Do You Offer Online Hypnotherapy?

Yes.

​

I work exclusively online via Zoom, with clients in London and around the world.

​

Online sessions provide a personal and private way to have hypnotherapy from the comfort of your own space. Many people appreciate the convenience, privacy and familiarity of being in their own environment.

​

You can find out more about how online hypnotherapy works on my Online Hypnotherapy page.

​

What Happens During a Session?

Every session is tailored to you, but may include:

• Discussion of what you'd like to change

• Exploring emotional and behavioural patterns

• Understanding relevant experiences from your past, where appropriate

• Hypnotherapy, Inner Child work and/or NLP

• Developing new ways of responding to thoughts, feelings or situations
   

Sessions are calm, structured and collaborative. You remain involved throughout the process, and the work is paced according to your individual needs.

​

How Much Does Hypnotherapy Cost?

My fees are:

£375 for a 90-minute session
£500 for a 2-hour session

£600 for a smoking cessation session. 

​

The session length recommended will depend on what you are seeking support with and your individual circumstances.

​

Payment and booking information will be provided when scheduling your appointment.

How Do I Get Started?

The first step is simply to make contact.

​

We can have a brief conversation about what you're experiencing, answer any questions you may have and explore whether hypnotherapy could be a suitable approach for you.
