FAQs
Questions, answered honestly.
If yours is not here, just ask — there is no such thing as a silly question when it comes to your own mind.
What is hypnotherapy, really?
It is a calm, focused state of attention — not sleep — in which the mind becomes more open to helpful suggestion. In practice it feels like a deep, pleasant relaxation, while you stay fully aware of everything around you.
Will I be asleep, or lose control?
No to both. You remain awake, aware and in control throughout. I guide; you decide. You can pause or stop at any point.
Can online hypnotherapy be as effective as in person?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be delivered online by video call, allowing us to work together wherever you are. You can participate from a comfortable, private space without needing to travel.
Why are programmes 6 or 12 or more sessions?
Specific fears can sometimes be addressed in around six sessions. Life changes, feeling emotionally drained, or a loss of purpose tend to have deeper roots, so they often run for twelve or more sessions. We always adjust to what you actually need.
How long is each session?
Typically 60 to 75 minutes.
Do I need to believe in it for it to work?
Not at all. All that is needed is a willingness to take part. Belief often follows the first change.
Is it confidential?
Your privacy is important to me. Everything you share is treated confidentially in accordance with my professional obligations, subject to legal and safeguarding requirements.
Can it help when I feel I have lost my way?
That is the heart of the work. When a major life change leaves you without a sense of purpose or direction, we rebuild it together — gently, and at your own pace.
What is the women's group programme?
A small, online group programme for women who feel things are crumbling, run over ten weeks. Places are limited to keep the group close and supportive.
What if I am not sure it is for me?
Book the free consultation and say so. That is exactly what it is for — an honest conversation, with no obligation to book anything further.
