After a telephone or email consultation, so that I can assess your needs, your first appointment will include a hypnotherapy session. You will be guided into a deep state of relaxation, allowing you to drift into a different state of consciousness, so allowing beneficial corrections to be given directly to your subconscious mind.

 

At no time can a client be conditioned against their will. Suggestions can be rejected, even in a hypnotised state, but for hypnotherapy to be beneficial there must be trust and co-operation between client and therapist.

 

If hypnotherapy is required for a long standing fear or phobia, then a personal program will be put together for your initial appointment which will be followed by two or  more appointments as deemed necessary. You will also be given a cd to listen to at home between appointments.

 

However, if your needs are more general, i.e. insomnia, stress or lack of confidence, after an initial session you will be given a cd of two relaxation programs to listen to at home. These are based on a very light level of hypnosis and designed to be used safely, without a therapist being present, which often means a second appointment will not be necessary.

 

A session last around 2 hours and depending on the severity of a problem, clients can be helped greatly in the interim by using the home program CD before deciding if another appointment is necessary.
