FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions For Hypnotherapy Pathway

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a guided therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to help you access your subconscious mind. During hypnosis, your mind becomes deeply relaxed yet remains fully aware. This relaxed state allows positive suggestions and therapeutic techniques to help overcome unwanted habits, fears, emotional challenges, and limiting beliefs.

What conditions can hypnotherapy help with?

Hypnotherapy may help people dealing with:

  1. Anxiety
  2. Stress
  3. Depression
  4. PTSD
  5. Insomnia
  6. Smoking cessation
  7. Weight management
  8. Fear and phobias
  9. Confidence issues
  10. Pain management
  11. Labour pain preparation
  12. Study focus and concentration
  13. Emotional trauma
  14. Behavioural change

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.

Can I book a hypnotherapy session for my family member, spouse or friend?

We do not recommend booking a hypnotherapy session for someone else unless they have personally decided that they want the treatment. Hypnotherapy works best when the client is willing, motivated, and actively participates in the process. If the person is attending only because someone else asked them to, the session is unlikely to be effective. To avoid disappointment and unnecessary expense, the individual who needs the treatment should contact us and fill up the booking form themselves.

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:

  1. Understanding your concerns
  2. Exploring possible root causes
  3. Setting therapy goals
  4. Explaining the hypnosis process
  5. Conducting your personalised hypnotherapy session
  6. 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.

How much does hypnotherapy cost?

Our standard Problem Exploration & Solution Hypnotherapy Session is RM699 per session, inclusive of the RM50 mind assessment fee.

There are no subscription packages, and clients only pay for each session they attend. A flexible instalment plan is also available

Is the mind assessment fee is fully refundable?

No. This is a small fee (RM50) that covers the cost of evaluating your condition before we formulate a plan and map out your hypnosis journey. The money is non refundable even if you decide to withdraw or if your booking is not accepted.

Is my information kept confidential?

Absolutely! Booking is simple. Complete our online enquiry form or contact us directly by phone or WhatsApp. Since we operate strictly by appointment, we recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred session.

Can I bring someone to accompany me?

While it is not necessary to have someone to accompany you but it is entirely up to you. Having someone with you does help your journey to discover yourself. However, your privacy and confidentiality is our top priority.

I googled 'hypnotherapy' randomly on 30th October about 11am. I found Dr. Anand 's details, I read the Google reviews. I pinged via the chat box Ken and had a quick reply. Cindy, Dr. Anand' s assistant texted me via WhatsApp and provided the necessary details. I filled up the form accordingly. Dr. Anand called me to understand my situation further and spoke to me for some 50 minutes. And he gave me an appointment the same day and we met at 4pm. The session was amazing, spent some 3.5 hours with Dr. Anand. He's really just God sent. I am so grateful and thankful. Just 1 session and my anxiety and fear and doubts are all gone. I am just so happy with the results. It's beyond remarkable. Dr. Anand 's techniques are unique and was perfect, it did what it was intended to do. I have attended other repetitive hypnotherapy sessions with others, but didn't see any changes. However, with Dr. Anand, it's just life changing, just with 1 session. Dr. Anand really just focus on me that entire 3 hours duration, understanding my situation completely. He genuinely wanted to help. And the set up for the hypnotherapy room was simply magical. Immensely helped with the hypnotherapy. It has been 2 weeks since I met Dr. Anand. Few new changes - I started a new job, I have fear of driving to new places - but with that 1 hypnotherapy session, these new changes didn't make my anxiety resurface, etc. I am feeling confident and calm and courageous daily. And Dr. Anand constantly kept in touch, checking on my wellbeing and if I am okay. Just grateful. Cindy was helpful and accommodated my requests accordingly and in a timely manner as well. Thank you very much Dr. Anand, forever indebted. What you did means a lot to me, to feel wholesome.

A Life-Changing Experience with Dr Anand – Hypnotherapy Services Malaysia I reached out to Dr Anand during a time when I was struggling with emotional pain—not physical, but a kind of heartache that left me feeling stuck and having low tolerance, especially toward the people I love most. I knew I needed support to cope and find clarity. From the beginning, Dr Anand was very responsive. Despite my unpredictable and hectic work schedule, he was patient and accommodating, arranging a call during a more relaxed time for me. Our first phone consultation lasted about 40 minutes, and he even shared some guided meditation audio clips. After listening to them a few times, I already felt calmer and more grounded. For a moment, I even thought I might not need the in-person session. Still, with an open mind, I decided to go ahead—and I’m truly glad I did. Dr Anand explained his six-step process in a very clear and transparent manner, which made me feel comfortable and safe. I appreciated how he laid everything out factually and professionally—it gave me trust in the process. During the session, although I remained fully conscious, I experienced a deep emotional journey. That’s when the real breakthrough happened. I was guided back to a memory from when I was just 7 or 8 years old—a young girl seeking validation and recognition, but never receiving it. I hadn’t realized how that childhood pain had quietly accumulated over the years and was being triggered by a recent incident in my life. That moment of clarity allowed me to finally understand the root cause of my emotional patterns. I felt it deeply, I understood it, and I accepted it, with methods that to cope with it. I walked out of that session feeling lighter, more at peace, and almost brand new. If you’re looking to understand your emotions, heal from within, and gain clarity about your mental and emotional wellbeing, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Anand. He brings professionalism, empathy, and real results. It’s not just therapy—it’s a powerful journey back to yourself.
Response from the owner:Dear Miss Amanda, Thank you for sharing your heartfelt journey with such openness and trust. Reading about your transformation—from the weight of unresolved emotions to the lightness of clarity and peace—deeply moves me. Stories like yours are why I’m so passionate about this work. I’m truly humbled that our session helped you reconnect with that young girl inside you, longing for validation, and that together, we could reframe that pain into understanding. Those moments of breakthrough, when the past finally makes sense in the context of the present, are where healing begins. You embraced the process with such courage and willingness—credit for this transformation belongs to you. Your kind words about my approach mean the world. Creating a safe, transparent space is at the core of what I do, and I’m grateful you felt that support. Remember, healing isn’t linear, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need to revisit those coping tools or explore new layers. Wishing you continued growth and self-compassion. Keep honoring that wiser, lighter version of yourself—you deserve it. With gratitude, Dr. Anand
