questions

What is Hypnosis? A state of relaxation and concentration at one with a state of heightened awareness induced by suggestion. It is a non-addictive power for good and is a natural manifestation of the mind at work.

Will I be aware of what is happening? Yes. Most people are surprised to remember all that has happened during the therapy.

So I am not asleep then? No, you are simply extremely relaxed.

Is there any cause at all for concern? None whatsoever. Hypnosis is a proven therapeutic aid.

Could I be influenced to do anything against my will or nature? No. In fact you would come out of the hypnotic state immediately any such action was suggested to you.

Can I bring someone with me into the consultation?
Yes, of course. But once therapy begins it is one to one and totally confidential and I would have to ask them to leave.

Can you help me with medical problems? If you think your problem may be medical, it is essential that you consult you GP first.

Can people without any particular issues be psychoanalysed? Not only can be, but should be. For an insight into yourself, it has no equal.

Why is it that some therapists take several sessions for smoking cessation and you only take one?
There are many reasons why therapists take a different number of sessions, their training, their experience, and their approach to the problem etc. Remember with smoking (as with all therapies) we will be having a pre-session chat. If during that time I feel I cannot be of help. I will not take you through the therapy, and no charges will be made. This is one of the reasons why I maintain a high success rate.

Will you put me under like a stage Hypnotist does? Certainly not, a clinical induction takes time and is not dominant or intrusive in any way.
