Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a completely natural state of mind where the participant feels completely relaxed both physically and mentally. Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state that people experience up to 150 times a day. Remember the last time you were driving and reached your destination and thought, “I don’t even remember driving those last 10 minutes.” That is an example of being in the hypnotic state
What is a Clinical Hypnotherapist?
A Clinical Hypnotherapist is a specialist in hypnosis, who uses the healing state of hypnosis to work with problems or conditions that a client wishes to change.
Will I be asleep or unconscious?
No. In hypnosis, the conscious mind takes a rest but you will not be asleep or unconscious. The feeling of hypnosis is a deeply relaxed state.
Is Hypnotherapy mind control?
No. All hypnosis is considered self-hypnosis and nobody can be hypnotised without being a fully consenting and willing participant. In the same way, a Hypnotherapist is not able to control you in any way.
How does hypnosis feel?
The feeling when in hypnosis is of being completely relaxed, both physically and mentally.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Yes. Anybody that is a willing participant can be hypnotised.
What will happen in a Hypnotherapy session?
We will chat about what has brought you to Hypnotherapy and what you would like to see or feel at the end of your sessions. After our initial chat, I will guide you into hypnosis using various relaxation methods which I believe is most appropriate for you. Once in this relaxed or ‘trance’ state, positive suggestions can be accepted by the subconscious mind to bring about long-term change. After a session you may feel uplifted, clearer and most likely, very relaxed.
Do you only see women?
No, I have many male clients too. Although most of my messaging is around supporting women, I love to mix it up and hypnotise men too. Do you think your Dad, partner or brother could benefit from hypnotherapy? Tell them to head to my booking page or give me a call.
