Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person and depends on what you’re working on. Some clients notice a shift after just one or two sessions, particularly for a single, specific goal like a phobia.Your exact plan will be discussed during your initial consultation, based on your goals.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe, non-invasive therapeutic approach used widely alongside other psychological methods. You are never unconscious or “under someone’s control”, you remain aware throughout and can stop the session at any time. That said, hypnotherapy isn’t a substitute for medical or psychiatric care where that’s needed, and a our therapist will always screen for suitability before starting.
Will I remember the session?
Yes. Hypnosis is a state of focused, relaxed attention – not sleep or unconsciousness – so you remain aware of what’s happening and typically remember the session afterward, much like recalling a daydream or a period of deep concentration.
Can it be combined with other therapies?
Yes, hypnotherapy works well alongside other approaches such as counselling, CBT, or coaching, and many clients use it as a complementary tool rather than a standalone treatment. If you’re currently working with another therapist or doctor, it’s worth mentioning that during your consultation so sessions can be aligned appropriately.
