Hypnotherapy Process

An initial consultation, generally lasting around one hour and usually involving several elements:

• A discussion about your requirements and goals
• Gathering personal information such as sleeping patterns, lifestyle information, medical symptoms or medication, any treatments involving other healthcare providers
• An explanation of how the hypnotherapy process will work
• Practical details such as cost, cancellation policy, how many sessions might be needed

In the subsequent session the practical application of hypnosis can then begin, the process is explained, and the following session structure may give you an idea of what to expect:

• A welcome chat to encourage comfort and relaxation
• Induction – the hypnotherapist will then lead you into a state of deep physical and mental relaxation
• Once deeply relaxed, the hypnotherapist can then begin 'change work' using techniques and approaches discussed and agreed to help you towards your goals
• Once the 'change work' is complete, the hypnotherapist will begin the transition to wakefulness, in which you are gradually brought out of your trance
• Time for any questions you may have and a summary of the session and any progress made thus far
