FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Hypnotherapy combines talking therapy (psychotherapy) with hypnosis to help you create real, positive change by working with your subconscious mind. It’s a practical way to tackle things like anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or performance blocks.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) takes it a step further. It blends psychotherapy, hypnosis, and the latest neuroscience research. We don’t dwell on the past. Instead, we focus on the future you want, building a clear path to the goals and outcomes that matter to you.
Forget the movies, hypnosis isn’t mind control. It’s a completely natural state of mind you enter every day. Think about getting lost in a book, a film, a run, or even driving a familiar route on autopilot. That relaxed, focused state? That’s a trance.
In hypnotherapy, your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions, helping you dissolve limiting beliefs and unwanted behaviours. And don’t worry, you’re always in control and fully aware of your surroundings. Nothing happens without your consent.
Absolutely. Hypnotherapy is safe, non-invasive, and relaxing. You remain fully in control at all times. Many clients find SFH sessions uplifting and genuinely enjoyable.
Nope. With Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we focus entirely on the future and the solutions you want. You don’t need to analyse or dwell on past experiences, unless you choose to.
A typical session lasts about an hour and has two parts:
1. Talking (psychotherapy): We focus on what’s working in your life, your goals, and how you want the future to look.
2. Hypnosis (trance): I guide you into a deep state of relaxation where your subconscious mind can absorb positive, solution-focused suggestions.
Together, these steps help you make real, lasting change.
It varies. Many clients start feeling positive changes after just a few sessions. Most see their goals achieved in 8–12 sessions, but some need more or fewer. Your commitment to the process will help you get results faster, some clients notice improvements from session one.
All sessions are online via Zoom. You just need a laptop, tablet, or smartphone and a quiet space. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person therapy and offer maximum convenience.
Absolutely!
Online hypnotherapy is just as effective as in person and for many people, it actually works better. Being in your own environment helps you relax more quickly, which makes the whole process smoother and more comfortable.
All you need is a quiet space, a comfortable chair, and a good internet connection. I’ll guide you through everything, just as I would if we were in the same room.
My hypnotherapy sessions are £80 per session (60 minutes), and all sessions take place online via Zoom, so you can work with me from the comfort of your own home.
Most clients choose one of my package options (6, 8, or 12 sessions), which offer a discounted rate and give you the consistency needed to see real, lasting change.
We’ll book your next session at the end of each appointment, and I always recommend choosing a regular weekly time, as this helps keep your progress steady and ensures availability.
Each session lasts up to one hour, so arriving on time means you’ll get the most out of our work together.

Life happens... I get it. I just ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This allows me to offer your slot to another client. Missed sessions or late cancellations may be subject to a fee. I’ll also give you 24 hours’ notice if I ever need to reschedule.
