FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
Most people don’t need long-term therapy.
We’ll get clear from the start on what you want to change and how we’re going to do it. Many clients work with me for a short, focused number of sessions (often 3–6), but it depends on what you’re coming with.
The aim is always to help you feel better as efficiently as possible, not to keep you longer than you need.
What happens in a session?
Sessions are structured but relaxed.
We’ll talk through what’s going on, understand what’s keeping you stuck, and focus on practical ways to change it.
Where appropriate, we’ll use hypnotherapy to help shift the deeper patterns, in a way that feels calm, safe and collaborative. You’ll leave each session with clarity and something useful to take forward.
Do I have to talk about my past?
You don't have to.
We focus on what’s happening now and what will actually help you feel better.
We might touch on past experiences if they’re relevant and you want to, but this isn’t about digging everything up, it’s about moving you forward.
What if I can’t switch off or relax?
That’s completely fine and very common.
You don’t need to “be good” at relaxing for this to work.
I’ll guide you through it in a way that feels natural and manageable.
Most people are surprised by how quickly they settle.
What does hypnosis actually feel like?
It’s not what people expect.
It’s more like being deeply focused or absorbed similar to when you’re watching a film or daydreaming.
You’re aware, in control, and able to move, speak or stop at any time.
Nothing is done to you it’s something we do together.
If it's not for you, we don't use it.
What if I fall asleep?
If you’re exhausted, your body might take the opportunity to rest which is often needed.
But don’t worry, I’ll gently guide you back so you don’t miss anything important. I can also record sessions and WhatsApp them to you so you can listen again.
Will this work for me?
If you’re open to the process and willing to engage with it, it’s very effective and what worked best for me.
This isn’t about quick fixes or magic, it’s about giving you practical tools and helping you shift the patterns that are keeping you stuck.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes and they work just as well as in-person sessions.
Many clients actually prefer being in their own space, where they feel more comfortable and relaxed. If you're local to me, you can choose on the day where suits you best.
Is this right for me?
I work with people who:
-
feel overwhelmed but are still functioning
-
struggle to switch off or rest
-
are stuck in cycles of overthinking or self-doubt
-
want practical, effective support (not endless talking)
If that sounds like you, this is likely a good fit.
How do I get started?
The best place to start is a 20-minute call.
We’ll talk through what’s going on and see if this feels like the right fit, no pressure, just clarity.
