Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural state. It is similar to being absorbed in a book or film, and is usually characterised by pleasant relaxation. Some people liken it to daydreaming.

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of hypnosis. During hypnotic trance, with the guidance of a therapist, you can access the power of the unconscious mind, effectively bypassing usual (conscious) barriers to thoughts and feelings.
Often in life, people establish negative behaviour which can become habitual. The unconscious mind controls this reflex behaviour. Hypnotherapy accesses the unconscious mind, and utilises a range of therapeutic techniques to help you establish positive behaviour and regain control life of your life. Although many of our negative habitual behaviours are driven by unconscious motives, the unconscious is also a massive reservoir of potential, knowledge and energy which can be activated via hypnotherapy.
Unlike drug-based interventions, hypnotherapy has no side-effects.

Which conditions can hypnotherapy help with?

Hypnotherapy is applicable to problems that have emotional, habitual or perhaps psychological origins.
Some of the areas where hypnotherapy can be used are:
• Anxiety
• Headaches
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome

• Performance anxiety (exam nerves)
• Phobias (fear of spiders, flying, water, etc)

Can anyone be hypnotised?

The vast majority of people can be hypnotised - but only if they want to be. No-one can be hypnotised against their will.

Can someone control my mind?

You are in control at all times. No-one can be forced to do anything they don't want to.

Will I give away secrets while under hypnosis?

Not unless you want to. As stated above, you are in control at all times.

How many sessions will be needed?

Therapy is tailored to the individual. Positive results are usually achieved in one to five sessions.
