What to ExpectMy first consultation with you always includes taking a history of the issue you want to work on and other information that will enable me to put together a treatment plan for you. Treatment plans are always individualised. I then discuss with you the nature of the work I think we should do in order for you to reach your treatment goals.
It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you need to and to decide whether you want to work with me. It is very important that you feel comfortable with me. If for any reason we decide not to go ahead with therapy, this initial consultation is free. If you do want to work with me then time permitting, you will have your first hypnotherapy session.
With the exception of stopping smoking where I aim to help you stop smoking in a single 2-hour session, most issues require more than 1 session.
Very often I will give you something to do regularly between sessions to facilitate treatment and move things along more quickly for you. This might include self-hypnosis, listening to a recording I have made for you or some other appropriate activity.
When you come to me to stop smoking, I will speak to you on the phone before booking you in for your session. This is so that I can ascertain that you are ready to stop smoking at this time, that hypnotherapy is right for you and to give you a couple of things to do in preparation for the session.
About TherapyWhen I design a treatment plan for you, there are many techniques I can use to enable you to get the results you want. My aim is always to bring about a permanent resolution of your issue. I always discuss with you why I am selecting a particular approach for a particular session.
In many cases, the route to permanent resolution of an issue requires dealing with an old issue you weren’t able to understand or didn’t have the resources to deal with at the time. Hypnotherapy is an ideal way in which to do this.
The hypnotic state is simply one of focused attention much like you might experience when reading a good book or watching a good film. In hypnotherapy, I guide you to a state where your attention is focused inward. Most people just feel very relaxed. You will hear my voice usually throughout the session. Sometimes I may be asking you to speak to me. At other times you may simply hear me making suggestions for change. By reducing the normal distraction and chatter you experience in your ordinary state of awareness, it is easier to make the changes you want. You are completely safe in the hypnotic state and fully in control.
About MeI have worked in the field of complementary health therapies for more than 20 years. I am currently a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register. I was initially drawn to hypnotherapy because of my interest in shedding those blocks that prevent us from fully experiencing and enjoying life.
I seek to continually improve my work through attending workshops, courses and reading. I have a number of articles on hypnosis and hypnotherapy published on the world wide web. I have also run a number of workshops on goal-setting and identifying your vision for your life, 90 day goal-setting and self-hypnosis. I enjoy public speaking and am a member of Toastmasters International.
