About hypnotherapy itself

Will I lose control whilst I am hypnotised?

Absolutely not. You can come out of hypnosis at any time. It’s a bit like being totally absorbed in a movie, book or a creative activity. All of a sudden you realise that you have been lost in thought but snap back into reality with ease.

The more hypnotherapy sessions you have, the easier it is to relax and be secure in the knowledge that you can end the session when you want, should you wish to.

What if I can't be hypnotised?

Everyone experiences a form of hypnosis at some point in their life. Those 'where did time go?' moments. Your hypnotherapist will help you achieve that state of mind. They may include relaxation techniques, visualisation, metaphors or any number of techniques.

What if I don't wake up?

Many people think that they may not wake from a hypnotic trance. This is a myth. There is never any danger of remaining in trance because you experience it daily. The therapist may use the phrase 'and wake' but actually, you are not asleep.

Can I be made to behave like a chicken?

Not unless you have a desire to be a chicken. This is stage hypnotism and not part of the professional therapist's portfolio. Suggestions are based on your needs and agreed focus for the session.

Booking, cost and locations

What happens in the first appointment?

Your first appointment lasts 90 minutes in total. The first 30 minutes are a free consultation where we talk about what is going on and what you would like to change, followed by 60 minutes of therapy. Nothing is decided before we have spoken.

How much does it cost?

All individual sessions are £60 per hour, with a £6 deposit taken at the time of booking. Packages and multiple sessions booked in advance are always discounted, and students always get 5% off. Full details are on the packages and prices page.

Where would we meet?

I see clients at three consulting rooms: The Ellesmere Centre on Beverley Road in Hull, The Silver Moon in Hornsea, and Glow Holistic Wellbeing in Pocklington. There is no price difference between them, so choose whichever is easiest for you.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends entirely on what you are working on, and it is one of the things we discuss at the free consultation. Some people come for two or three sessions, others work through a four session package. I will be honest with you about what I think is realistic.

Still wondering?

Have any other questions?

Ring, message or email and ask away. I would far rather answer something now than have you put off booking because of it.

Ready when you are

Every new client gets a free 30 minute consultation, so there is nothing to lose by starting the conversation. Call, text or send an enquiry and I will get back to you.
