The Therapy
Free Initial Consultation
I offer a 'Free Initial Consultation' to all my clients (with absolutely no obligation). This first meeting is extremely important, as it gives you the opportunity to meet me in person, and see if you feel comfortable talking to me. You can also find out if Hypnotherapy can help you with your particular problem. Rest assured if I can't help you, then I will refer you on to someone who can.
My Consulting Room
When you come to see me for help, I will show you into my Consulting Room, where you
can talk to me privately about your problems in a quiet, relaxed, non-judgemental environment.
It is essential that you feel comfortable and at ease with me, as you need to be able to talk
openly about your life. This way I will be able to give you the best possible
therapy in order to help you achieve the results you want.
There is a comfortable sofa for you to sit on when you arrive, and then when we do
the Hypnotherapy part of the session, you move into my hypnotic chair. This is a
luxurious, leather chair which you can settle back into, letting yourself be just
as comfortable and relaxed as you want to be. Should you wish to recline and/or use
the footrest then you are more than welcome. It is your therapy, and you do exactly
what is right for you.
I usually play some therapeutic background music during the Hypnotherapy session,
which is very soothing for your subconscious mind. I always explain about hypnosis
first so that you know exactly what to expect (which is actually to
feel no different, as there is no such thing as a hypnotised feeling!), and then
I answer any questions that you may have. Once you are happy, and only when you
are ready, I guide you into hypnosis.
My Approach to Therapy
Once we have decided we are going to work together, I will let you know the way
that I plan to work. I have numerous methods that I use when taking my clients
through therapy, and they are always client-centred, so you can feel confident that
you are getting the best treatment for you, and your particular problem. I will
discuss this with you during the session, and answer any questions that you may have,
as it is important that you feel comfortable with the way I plan to work in order for
the therapy to have the best chance of success.
Therapy is all about working together as a team which is why the client/therapist
relationship is so important. I am committed to giving all my clients 100%, and
I expect the same from them. If you are committed and motivated to succeed, then
together we can get you the life you deserve.
Types of Therapy
There are many ways Hypnotherapists can work when taking their clients through therapy. Below are some of the main types:
- Suggestion Therapy
- Analytical Therapy (also known as Hypnoanalysis)
- Parts Therapy
- Archetypal Parts Therapy - Warriors, Settlers & Nomads
- Inner Child Therapy
- Psychosexual Therapy
- Past Life Regression Therapy
The most appropriate method is always chosen for each individual client.
Consultations
As a general rule, most sessions are held on a weekly basis, with the exception of the 'Quit Smoking' session which is a one-off session lasting between 90 minutes and two hours (please click on the 'Quit Smoking' page for more information).
I work to a 50 minute hour (which is general industry standard practice), therefore clients should allow an hour at most for their session. Like all good Therapists, when I feel that a little extra time is needed, then I will give it. Please bear this in mind should you find yourself waiting a few minutes longer to start your appointment. I appreciate your patience, and will get to you as soon as possible.
The duration of a course of therapy very much depends on the nature of the problem. However, as a rough guide:- Suggestion Therapy can be effective in just a few sessions.
- Analytical Therapy can last for anything between six to twelve sessions.
I will discuss this with you at your Free Initial Consultation, taking into account the type of therapy I am going to use, the time available, and any other specific requirements you may have. Please rest assured that I will use the most appropriate method to help you get better as quickly as possible.
Appointment Times
I always try to accommodate my clients, and arrange a mutually convenient time for
therapy.
Some evening appointments are available, although these times do get booked
up quite quickly.
Fees
To be discussed at the Free Initial Consultation. Each client's therapy is unique, therefore fees do very much depend on the type of therapy to be used.
Methods of Payment
Cash, cheque and all major credit and debit cards are accepted methods of payment.
Cancellation Policy
The time I spend working with my clients is very important, which is why I operate a 48 hour cancellation policy. Should you find you are unable to attend your session, then please let me know 48 hours in advance, otherwise you will be charged the full session fee.
