Hypnotherapy - What to expect

Each potential client receives a free telephone or online consultation to discuss their specific issues. I will explain how hypnotherapy can help and answer any questions you may have. To better understand your needs, clients are required to complete a confidential consultation form, including a medical history.

Going forward, appointments are available in person if you're local to Darlington, or via Zoom should you be located further afield. You can rest assured that with online therapy, I will bring the same level of dedication and expertise as I would in an in-person setting.

Hypnosis is a natural state of trance that we enter multiple times a day. In therapy sessions, I'll guide you into a deeper state of hypnosis by using my voice and gentle hypnotic music.

So how will I feel?

Well, everyone can have a different experience of hypnosis, there's no right or wrong way to feel. Some people don't feel like anything different is happening, others may experience feeling heavy, light or even tingling sensations. Some people remember every word said, others remember very little. Be assured that whatever your experience, it's the right one for you. All I ask is that you attend with an open mind and go with the flow.

Will I tell my personal secrets?

Absolutely not. You remain in full control of everything you say and do. You are not under the power of the hypnotherapist.

What if I get stuck in hypnosis?

This is impossible, be assured that you will always come out of trance. This will happen naturally even if not done by the therapist themselves.

Will I be asleep?

Although the word "sleep" is often used during hypnotherapy, you'll actually be somewhere in the middle between sleep and awake. In fact you'll be in a state where your natural senses will be around 30% more efficient than usual!

You remain in control of all you say and do at all times.
