What happens during a consultation?
Your initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss what brings you to hypnotherapy, your goals, and how the process works. I will explain how the brain functions in relation to your concerns and how hypnotherapy can help. You will also receive a free hypnosis audio to support your progress between sessions.
How often should I listen to the hypnosis audio relaxation?
It is recommended that you listen to the hypnosis audio relaxation daily, preferably before bed. Regular listening helps reinforce positive changes, encourages deep relaxation, and supports the progress you make during sessions

your concerns and teach practical techniques and skills.

change
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No, hypnosis is a deeply relaxed state where you remain in full control. You will be aware of everything happening and can come out of hypnosis at any time if needed.
Are there any dangers?
Hypnotherapy is a safe and natural process when practiced by a trained professional. It is simply a relaxed state of focused attention, similar to daydreaming or meditation. You will not lose control, get stuck in hypnosis, or be made to do anything against your will. However, it is not suitable for individuals with certain psychiatric conditions, such as psychosis, unless advised by a medical professional.
How many sessions will I need?
Every individual is different, but most clients notice positive changes within 6–12 sessions. Some may benefit from fewer, while others may choose ongoing support.
How do I prepare for an online session?
To get the most out of your session:
Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed.
Use headphones for better sound quality.
Ensure your device has a stable internet connection.
Have a blanket or pillow nearby to help you relax.
How soon can I expect to see changes?
Everyone responds differently, but many clients begin to notice positive shifts within just a few sessions. Some feel improvements after the first session, while others may take a few weeks. The key is consistency, both in attending sessions and listening to the hypnosis audio regularly.
