I keep six honest servants. They taught me all I know. Their names are What, Why and When; How, Where and Who. (Rudyard Kipling)
FAQs
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring, dream-like state, similar to drifting into sleep.
HOW DOES HYPNOTHERAPY WORK?
Hypnotherapy is an effective way of changing unwanted patterns of behaviour and unhelpful thought processes. Through hypnosis, negative perceptions and beliefs are altered in the subconscious mind, so they no longer hold you back from making positive change in your life.
CAN ANYONE BE HYPNOTISED?
Yes, as long as they want to be. You cannot be forced into hypnosis against your will.
WILL I KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Yes. You may be even more mindful of what is happening. When your eyes are closed your other senses increase in awareness and sensitivity.
WHAT IS BEING IN HYPNOSIS LIKE?
We all experience short periods of trance in our everyday life. Day-dreaming is hypnosis. Staring into space, or out of the window of a train, oblivious to other conversations; that too is hypnosis.
WILL I BE FORCED TO ACCEPT SUGGESTIONS?
No. Your mind is very protective of you. You remain in control at all times and will not accept suggestions that go against your morals or values. A professional hypnotherapist only promotes positive change and would never ask you to do anything against your will.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
The number of sessions is dependent on the problem. This will be assessed during our initial consultation. Many issues can be treated in just 2 or 3 appointments. Progress is reviewed regularly so that future sessions are always based on positive improvements.
HOW LONG DOES A SESSION LAST?
Sessions are usually 60 minutes in duration. Most first sessions include familiarisation with hypnosis, so these are longer than an hour but carry no additional charge.
HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE BEFORE COMMITTING MYSELF?
I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation to help you come to an informed decision. You are under no obligation to proceed with hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis is frequently used to treat irrational fears, habits and addictions, lack of confidence, anxiety and weight issues. We are all aware of our conscious mind, where logical thinking happens when we make decisions. We are less aware of our unconscious mind, which is a much larger part of our brain that looks after key automatic or involuntary functions, such as breathing, heartbeat, digestive and hormonal changes. It is also has a vast library that stores all our memories and emotional experiences. Through hypnosis, the unconscious mind accepts positive ideas and suggestions, enabling people to resolve issues and let go of old habits, cravings and negative thoughts.
