Frequently Asked Questions

Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions. If you have a question that isn’t listed below, please contact me, I will be more than happy to answer it.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is the narrow focus of attention. It is a very natural, relaxed state that we all experience on a daily basis. Hypnosis works because it is simply the delivery and acceptance of suggestion. It is the bypassing of the conscious logical mind and direct communication with the illogical subconscious mind. This is the area of the brain that tells us what to feel, how to act and behave. Using hypnosis we can reprogram the way we think about addictions, fears and phobias and numerous other conditions.

What is NLP?

NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a bit like an 'owners manual' for your brain. It is a useful set of techniques that can actively change the way we think, feel and act.

Is hypnosis safe and what does it feel like?

Yes, hypnosis performed by a trained professional is very safe. It can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. Everyone’s personal experience of hypnosis is different. It’s not like being unconscious or falling asleep, you are aware of what is happening the whole time.

In fact it’s a bit like when you drive a familiar journey, when you reach your destination you can’t really remember driving there at all. It’s also quite like being totally engrossed in a film or book, when you finish reading or the film ends, you realise the position your sitting in has caused an ache or pain, however you didn’t notice that ache or pain until your focus of attention was broken.

Can I get stuck in hypnosis?

Absolutely not! You may enjoy the experience so much that you wish to remain relaxed, but there is no way that you can be “stuck” in a hypnotic state.

How long is a session?

On average a session is one hour long (60 minutes)
