Frequently asked questions

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses hypnosis to help individuals achieve a desired change in their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, or physical well-being. Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and concentration, often induced by a trained therapist, where the individual becomes highly responsive to suggestions. During this state, the mind is more open to suggestion and is better able to access and influence subconscious thoughts and beliefs.

How does Hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy works by guiding an individual into a relaxed and focused state, often called a trance or hypnosis. In this state, the mind is more receptive to positive suggestions and can facilitate changes in behaviour, emotions, and perceptions.

Is Hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is considered safe when conducted by a trained and certified hypnotherapist. The process is non-invasive, and individuals remain in control and can end the session at any time. Hypnotherapy is not mind control; it is a cooperative process.

What conditions can hypnotherapy help with?

Hypnotherapy can assist with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, phobias, smoking cessation, weight management, stress, pain management, sleep disorders, confidence building, and improving performance in various areas of life. This is just a small overview of conditions, there are far too many to list so please do get in touch if you don't see your specific concern.

How many sessions of hypnotherapy are typically needed?

The number of sessions required varies based on the individual and the specific issue being addressed. Some concerns may see improvement in just a few sessions, while others may require more consistent and extended treatment. Smoking and Vaping cessation only requires a single session.

Who can benefit from hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy can benefit individuals of all ages and backgrounds. It's effective for those seeking to overcome challenges, improve well-being, manage stress, break habits, enhance performance, and make positive changes in their lives.

Can anyone be hypnotized?

It is important that we stress that nobody can be hypnotized against their will. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process, most individuals can be hypnotized, but the level and depth of hypnotic trance can vary. Some people are more naturally receptive to hypnosis, while others may require more practice or a skilled hypnotherapist to induce a trance-like state.
