About Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a perfectly natural phenomenon that occurs in everyone many times
throughout each day.
Although many people associate it with normal sleep it is in fact,
entirely the opposite of sleep, often being described as a heightened state of
awareness and alertness.
It occurs at times when you change your awareness from the world around you to focus more on your own internalised thoughts, feelings and imagination.
Hypnosis is entirely safe, totally natural and usually an amazingly enjoyable
experience.
About Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy means using a person's natural ability to enter hypnosis
to treat a variety of medical and psychological problems and conditions.
It is estimated that
85-90% of people will respond well to clinical hypnotherapy and receive noticeable benefits. Indeed, t has often
succeeds where other, more conventional methods of treatments don't.
When carried out by a professionally trained and skilled hypnotherapist,
the benefits can be long lasting and often permanent.
Unlike other, more conventional treatments, Hypnotherapy is generally only used
for brief, strategic therapy. This enables you to quickly gain the benefits
of treatment in just a few sessions and learn the skils you need to be able to carry on the positive changes
on their own.

F.A.Qs
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Click the question to expand the answer
Can anyone be hypnotised? 
Almost, it's estimated that about 85% - 90% of the population can be hypnotised
to some degree and will benefit from hypnosis.
At what age can children been Hypnotised?
Generally the guidelines suggest that from around six years old children will
make wonderful hypnotic subjects. Although it is dependent on the child's ability
to understand quantities and be able to compare and contrast different things.
Will I reveal my deepest secrets to the therapist?
No. You can't be made to say anything you don't want to. You're always free to
tell your hypnotherapist as much or as little as you want to.
How many sessions will I need?
As many as you need, and not any more or any less! Typically hypnotherapy is
seen as short term and is used strategically. How many session exactly depends
on what you're trying to achieve and how well you respond. For some things
, one session is all you'll need. For others you'll need 3,4 or 5. More than
6 sessions is rare.
How quickly will I see results?
Again, this is different for everyone. Most people feel significantly different
at the end of the first session. Generally, you'll see changes at a speed that
right for you, but you should see some major differences after 3 sessions.
How much will I remember?
Pretty much everything because you won't be asleep or unconscious at any time.
What does Hypnosis feel like?
It feels wonderful, everyone I work with comes out of Hypnosis smiling and looking
refreshed.
I'm worried about losing control?
This is normal and very common. In reality you are always in control. You can
always accept or reject any suggestion a therapist gives you. (just like you
can when you're not hypnotised!)
A good therapist will be able to explain and allay any fears you may have, and
can't proceed with hypnosis unless you want to.
How to create hypnosis?
There are many ways to create hypnosis, I'll teach you some you can do yourself.
But none will involve swinging a pocket watch!
What's the difference between Stage Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy?
There's a world of difference: people involved in stage hypnosis are there for
fun and entertainment. Hypnotherapy is always done sympathetically, compassionately
and for your personal benefit. Hypnotherapists will never ask you to do anything
silly or outrageous.
How long is a hypnotherapy session?
For me, it's between 90 minutes and 2 hours for each person (occasionally longer).
Other hypnotherapists may limit you to a single hour.
Do you charge per hour or per session?
Always Per session, regardless of how long each session is.
Do you do past life regression?
As a rule, No. Past Life Regression (whether you believe in Past Lives or not)
can often be a traumatic experience for many people. It can be used
as a tool for therapeutic change, but I find there are much better and much more
enjoyable ways to change.
How much will I need to invest?
Financially, each
session is charged at £50 (except Stop Smoking sessions). However, you will
have to invest some of your time outside of each session to using and explore the
changes that will happen.
