FAQ’s

Well, rest assured, what we do is nothing like the stage hypnotism you may have seen. So I won't be making you cluck like a chicken or bark like a dog!

In hypnotherapy, the hypnosis we use is relaxation-based. Imagine your brain entering a trance-like state, similar to when you're driving a familiar route or engrossed in a good book or TV show. It's completely safe, and you remain fully aware of your surroundings. At most, you might nod off!

In trance, your conscious and subconscious mind align, giving you access to the 95% of your mind that usually guides your daily life. This allows your subconscious to focus on the changes you want to achieve your goals.

In our sessions, we stay focused on the present and the path forward, avoiding dwelling on the past or getting stuck on problems. Together, we work as a team towards your goals, step by step.

Solution-focused hypnotherapy operates on a brief therapy model. Our approach is refreshingly straightforward and practical. We arm you with the tools and mindset necessary to confront stress, anxiety, and overwhelm head-on, ensuring you carry those skills with you for life.

Solution focused hypnotherapy is highly effective with a wide range of common issues, including:

- Anxiety
- Stress
- Anger
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Eating Disorders
- Weight Management
- Fears and Phobias
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Low Confidence and Self-esteem
- Sports Performance and Fitness

No matter what you're facing - be it anxiety, overwhelm, stress or any other challenge - each session is crafted to guide you towards letting go of the past, cultivating skills and habits for the future, and finding joy in the present moment.

The initial consultation is all about getting to know each other and understanding how I can best support you. We’ll start by discussing what’s brought you to hypnotherapy and what you’re hoping to achieve. This is a chance for you to share your concerns and ask any questions you might have about the process.

During our conversation, I’ll also explain how the brain works, particularly how stress, anxiety, and other challenges can affect your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Understanding this helps set the foundation for our work together.

We’ll talk about what Solution Focused Hypnotherapy involves and how it can help you make positive changes. There’s no obligation to commit to further sessions—this is simply an opportunity for you to decide if this approach feels right for you.

By the end of our session, you should have a clearer idea of what to expect from hypnotherapy and feel more confident about the next steps. If you choose to continue, we can then discuss scheduling your first hypnotherapy session.

I find that most of my clients benefit from 6 to 14 sessions, each lasting 50-60 minutes, although this may vary based on why you came to see me.

Sessions are scheduled weekly until we reach a natural conclusion. Your comfort and pace are my priority throughout, so we can continue working together for as long as you feel is necessary.

When you're ready to conclude our sessions, I'll be here to support you every step of the way!

I charge by the hour as a set fee, regardless of what you'd like support with. I find that this is the fairest way to support you. This puts you firmly in the drivers seat of your experience and means you can have as many sessions as you choose. Only you know how you're feeling!

Initial Consultations are 35 - 50 minutes long and are always FREE

My Standard Session Fee for 50 - 60 minutes is £60

*Sessions for phobias and smoking/vaping cessation are typically shorter requiring less sessions unless they are linked to other problems you'd like to resolve. The number of recommended sessions will be discussed during your Initial Consultation to ensure the best approach for your needs.

After you've had your FREE initial consultation, you'll be able to arrange your weekly sessions directly with me.

Online hypnotherapy is just as effective as traditional face-to-face sessions. Many clients find it more convenient since they don’t have to travel. You can attend from anywhere—whether at work, on a trip, or from the comfort of your home. This is especially helpful if you're unwell or anxious about meeting in person. Being in your own space can help you feel safe and more open during our sessions.

If you prefer face to face sessions, I also have clinic hours available at the renowned Clifton Practice rooms in Clifton, Bristol.
