Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will I lose control when being hypnotised?
NO, is the short and honest answer. A hypnotherapist can never get a person to do something against their will. What you see on TV are carefully selected subjects, with exhibitionist tendencies, who WANT to be on the stage taking part in the fun. No hypnotherapist can make a client divulge information they don't want to or do something out of character.
Please understand this as it makes the session a lot easier. In fact, there is absolutely nothing to fear as you'll probably experience hypnosis as a relaxing and enjoyable journey through your mind. There is real magic in hypnotherapy, but it's more in the form of a partnership between therapist and client, rather than a master/guru exerting mind control.
2. How many sessions will I need?
I aim to help you in as few sessions as possible. I respect your time and money so I'll do everything in my power to ensure we make positive changes quickly.
Having said that, 'quitting' issues tend to be more rapidly resolved than confidence, weight loss or phobia/fear based issues. For stop smoking, you'd typically be looking at 1 session (with the possibility of a follow up). For other issues, 3 to 6 tends to be the average. However, some clients choose to continue the therapist/coaching relationship months, or even years, down the line as they experience the benefits of having a knowledgeable and dedicated therapist/coach for ongoing support.
3. What's the success rate?
So long as you are motivated to change then there’s every chance our session will be successful. Occasionally, it can fail when the client approaches hypnotherapy as a miracle working cure. This is something it's not. I can’t just snap my fingers and solve your problem. Sometimes it takes time to explore the issue and treat it correctly. However, if you’re prepared to put in the work and commit to the sessions then my records indicate there’s an 80% chance you’ll see an improvement.
I’ve now been working as a hypnotherapist for over 20 years and have had many successes across all the issues listed on the treatments section of this website.
