FAQ'S
How do I know which therapy is right for me?
You are encouraged to read through the different therapies and notice what resonates most with you. Often, your intuition will guide you to the approach that feels right. If you are unsure, you are very welcome to get in touch for guidance.
What happens in a session?
Each session is tailored specifically to you. We begin with a confidential discussion about what you would like to work on, followed by the most appropriate therapeutic approach for your needs. This may include guided hypnosis or other techniques to support insight, resolution, and meaningful change.
How many sessions will I need?

About Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Yes - most people can experience hypnosis, as long as they are willing and open to the process. It is a natural state that we all move in and out of every day. However, no one can be hypnotised against their will.
Do I lose control?
No. Hypnosis is about gaining control, not losing it. You remain aware of what is happening and cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do.
Will I be asleep?
No. Although hypnosis is deeply relaxing, it is not the same as sleep. Most people feel calm, focused, and mentally aware - often with a sense of heightened clarity.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Everyone experiences it slightly differently, but most people report a pleasant sense of deep relaxation. External distractions tend to fade, making it easier to focus inwardly and access insight.
Can I get stuck in hypnosis?
No. You are always in control and can return to full awareness at any time. Occasionally, people simply enjoy staying in the relaxed state a little longer.
Will I remember what happens?
Yes. Most people remember the session clearly. As with any focused experience, you may not recall every detail, but you remain aware throughout.
Do I need to believe in spiritual or past life work for it to be effective?
No. You do not need to hold any particular beliefs. Simply being open and curious is enough for the process to work effectively.
Is hypnotherapy the same as stage hypnosis?
No. Stage hypnosis is designed for entertainment. Hypnotherapy is a professional, therapeutic process focused on helping you create positive change.

Can hypnosis cure anything?
Hypnosis is not a cure-all, but it is a powerful tool for supporting change - particularly for stress, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing.
Do you have to be weak-willed to be hypnotised?
Not at all. In fact, people who can focus, imagine, and engage with the process often respond very well. Hypnosis is a natural ability - not a sign of weakness.
Can I use hypnosis on myself?
Yes - and it can be incredibly beneficial. Self-hypnosis is often taught as part of the process so you can continue the work independently.
Are there any side effects?
Hypnotherapy is a natural and safe process when carried out by a trained professional. Most people leave sessions feeling relaxed, calm, and more centred.
