Frequently Asked Questions

The mind is part conscious and part sub-conscious. When you experience deep relaxation in the therapy room, positive messages and affirmations can be embedded by the therapist into your subconscious mind using a variety of tools and techniques.  

The subconscious cannot differentiate between fact and fiction - and this is how permanent positive change is brought about. 

It takes approximately 21 days to change a behaviour, or get rid of a habit for example, so three or four sessions of hypnotherapy are usually needed.  

Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation. We all go into a form of hypnosis every day when we day dream for example or when we're about to go to sleep or when we are just waking up.   It is a very relaxed state and often happens when we're engrossed in a good book or Netflix series!  You will get a real feel for it when you book a consultation and relaxation session too!

Can you make me do something I don't want to?

Absolutely not!  All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and this means that you will never do anything you don't want to do.  

Stage hypnotists have certainly not helped professional hypnotherapists at all and it is a myth that you can be made to do things that don't align with your morals or values.
