Frequently Asked Questions

Hypnotherapy uses relaxation and focused attention to help you access the subconscious mind, where many habits and emotional patterns are held. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) coaching works more with the conscious mind — reframing thoughts, language, and behaviour patterns to create change. Many sessions combine both for a fuller, more lasting result.

Not at all. Many clients come with a general sense that something needs to change rather than a precise goal. Part of the first session is helping you clarify what you actually want to work towards.

This varies depending on the issue and how you respond to the work. Some people notice a shift after one or two sessions; others benefit from a structured programme over several weeks. This is usually discussed and agreed upon after an initial consultation.

Yes,  I offer a free 30 minute consultation, there is no rush during this time so please allow a little longer.

You remain fully in control throughout — hypnosis is simply a state of deep relaxation and focused attention, similar to daydreaming. You won't be "asleep", you can't be made to do anything against your will, and you'll remember the session.

No. This is one of the biggest myths about hypnotherapy. You're aware and in control the entire time; hypnosis simply helps quieten the analytical mind so the subconscious can be more accessible.

Most people can enter a hypnotic state to some degree, though the depth varies from person to person. It doesn't require any special skill on your part — just a willingness to relax and follow the process.

These sessions are more conversational and interactive than hypnotherapy — you'll be talking, exploring patterns, and actively working through techniques together, rather than being guided into relaxation.

After your initial consultation, your first session I recommend you allow 2 hours, this is so I can check in with you, have a chat about any questions you may have, then the work begins, after, the hypnosis time, we will have time to chat too

My sessions are online, but I can provide in-person sessions by prior arrangement.

Common areas include anxiety, stress, confidence, phobias, weight management, smoking cessation, sleep issues, career transitions, and performance (exams, public speaking, sport). If you're not sure whether your situation fits, it's worth asking directly.

Hypnotherapy and NLP work differently from traditional talk therapy because they engage the subconscious and behavioural patterns directly, rather than relying solely on conscious insight. Many clients come to this work after other approaches haven't given lasting results.

No — hypnotherapy and coaching complement but don't replace medical care. In some cases where you may have been referred via  medical care, and with your consent, information can be passed back to your medical centre
