The suitability of hypnotherapy depends on each individual’s condition.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. Clinical hypnosis is considered a safe, non-invasive, medication-free therapeutic technique when conducted by a trained professional. Throughout the session, you remain aware of your surroundings and cannot be forced to do anything against your will.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No. One of the biggest misconceptions is that people lose control under hypnosis. In reality, you remain conscious, aware, and in control throughout the entire session.
What can i expect during my first visit?
The hypnosis session begins with a gradual transition so that you get relaxed while taking you into a deeper and deeper state of relaxation. As your breathing and heart rate slow down, the brainwaves slow down as well. Your body is relaxed and your mind is relaxed. Expect to feel rested and relaxed after a hypnotherapy session.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Most people can experience hypnosis if they are willing to participate and have an open mind. According to our experience, approximately 98% of clients respond positively to hypnosis, many even during their first session.
How long does each hypnotherapy session take?
Our standard hypnotherapy session typically lasts approximately 120 minutes, excluding the initial phone consultation and assessment. This allows sufficient time to understand your concerns and customise the therapy according to your needs
How many sessions will I need?
Every individual is different. Some clients notice improvements after just one session, while others may require two to three sessions or more, particularly for long-standing or complex issues.
When will I start seeing results?
Many clients experience positive changes immediately after their first session. However, lasting behavioural transformation often requires reinforcement through additional sessions depending on the complexity of the issue.
What happens during my first appointment?
Your first appointment usually includes:
- Understanding your concerns
- Exploring possible root causes
- Setting therapy goals
- Explaining the hypnosis process
- Conducting your personalised hypnotherapy session
- Discussing your progress and next steps
Every session is tailored specifically to your needs.
Do I need to prepare before attending my session?
No special preparation is required. Simply come with an open mind, wear comfortable clothing, and avoid rushing to your appointment. Being relaxed helps you enjoy the session more fully.
Can hypnotherapy replace medical treatment?
No. Hypnotherapy should not replace medical care, psychological treatment, or prescribed medication. It is intended to complement appropriate healthcare where suitable. Always consult your healthcare provider regarding any medical or psychiatric condition.
Does hypnotherapy work for anxiety and stress?
Many people seek hypnotherapy to help manage anxiety, stress, excessive worrying, and emotional overwhelm. Hypnosis aims to help individuals develop healthier thought patterns and emotional responses.
Can hypnotherapy help me quit smoking?
Hypnotherapy may help strengthen your motivation to stop smoking by addressing subconscious habits and behavioural triggers. Success depends on your commitment and willingness to quit.
Can hypnotherapy help with weight loss?
Yes. Hypnotherapy focuses on changing eating behaviours, improving self-control, reducing emotional eating, and developing healthier lifestyle habits rather than simply dieting.
Will I remember everything after hypnosis?
Yes. Most clients remember almost everything that happens during their session because hypnosis is not sleep. You remain conscious throughout the therapy.
Can the hypnotherapist make me do things i don't want to do?
No! That’s a myth. The fake examples of hypnosis in scary movies and novels inaccurate suggest the hypnotist does something to you, puts you “under” and make suggestions to you that you then have to carry out. That’s impossible. No one can make you do or say anything you don’t want to do in or out of hypnosis. That is purely stage hypnosis!
Stage hypnosis is designed purely for entertainment, while clinical hypnotherapy is a professional therapeutic approach focused on helping individuals improve their emotional well-being, overcome challenges, and create positive behavioural changes.
Do you offer online hypnotherapy sessions?
No. At the moment, we only provide face-to-face hypnotherapy sessions and do not offer online sessions.
This is because we believe an in-person approach allows for better communication, deeper connection, and a more effective therapy experience for our clients.
