Q & A

You've got questions, we've got answers!

  • What can hypnotherapy help with?

    I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma-related responses, emotional overwhelm, panic and persistent stress patterns.

    These often include overthinking, hyper-vigilance, emotional reactivity, and feeling stuck in unhelpful cycles.


  • Who do you work with?

    I work with adults, and also with children and teenagers in specific cases where appropriate.

    All approaches are adapted to the individual’s needs and emotional state.

  • What happens in a session?

    I use multi-level communication, addressing both conscious understanding and unconscious processes. This means we discuss things that make sense to the conscious mind while also working at a deeper level using hypnosis, visualisation exercises, and other evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

  • How does hypnosis feel?

    Most people describe it as a relaxed, focused state — similar to being absorbed in a book or daydreaming.

    You remain aware of what is happening and can speak or stop at any time.

  • Is hypnosis safe and will I lose control?

    You remain fully in control throughout the session.

    Hypnotherapy is a guided process where you are aware of what is happening and can respond normally at all times.

  • Do I need to talk about my trauma in detail?

    Not necessarily.

    The focus is not on retelling events, but on changing the emotional responses and patterns connected to them.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    Many clients notice meaningful change within 1–3 sessions, although this varies depending on the individual and the issue.

  • How long is a session?

    Sessions are typically 60–90 minutes for adults.

  • Will I need to prepare?

    No preparation is needed. Just come as you are.

  • How do I book?

    You can book a free discovery call to discuss your situation and see whether this approach feels right for you.
