1. Is hypnosis safe?
The client is absolutely safe. Hypnosis is as natural as sleeping and we constantly drift in and out of hypnotic states all day without any danger.
2. What does hypnosis feel like?
Typically it will feel like an immensely relaxing and blissful experience. You will be aware and in control at all times whilst feeling in a dreamlike state.
3. Is there a free consultation?
A free phone consultation is available for us to discuss the problem you face and how we can start you on your journey towards resolution.
4. How frequent are sessions?
This depends on the nature and severity of the problem. Phobias, for example, can often be cured in one session. Smoking cessation/weight loss may take between 1-6 sessions. Severe depression can take a little longer as we remove one layer at a time of the problem.
The gap between sessions will often be 1-2 weeks, though as progress is made, this gap will increase.
5. How long does a session last?
Again, depending on the nature of the problem, sessions will normally last between 50 and 90 minutes.
6. Will there be work to do between sessions?
Some issues can be resolved in one session with little work or effort on behalf the client. More frequently I will set tasks including self hypnosis and other cognitive tasks. These won’t necessarily be very time consuming but will require some commitment for the greatest, permanent results.
7. I feel embarrassed about my problem. Will I be judged?
I treat all clients from a position of unconditional positive regard. Life throws many obstacles at us all, some more than others, and often without the right knowledge and help, we are powerless in the face of these problems. In effect we are often the product of factors beyond our control so there is never anything to be ashamed or embarrassed about. You can rest assured that in my company you will feel relaxed, at ease and know that I will have your best interest at heart regardless of the current issue.
8. Where will the session take place?
I mostly work out of the TCM Holistic centre on the Leigh Sports Village complex. I am also willing to work at a client’s house depending on location and necessity.
