Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be aware of what is happening?

Yes. Most people are surprised to remember all that has happened during the therapy.

So I'm 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.

How many visits will I need?

Simple problems, such as smoking, nail biting, slimming, pre-test nerves etc usually require a single session and the success rate is surprisingly high. The more deep-rooted nervous disorders require analytical rather than suggestion therapy which usually consists of 8 weekly sessions.

Can I be influenced to do anything against my will or nature?

No. In fact you would be shocked out of the hypnotic state immediately any such action was suggested to you.

Can normal people be psycho-analysed?

Not only can be, but should be. For an insight into yourself, it has no equal.

Can I bring someone with me into the consultation?

Yes, Of course.

Can you help with medical problems?

If you think your problem may be medical, it is essential that you consult your G.P. first.

Why is it that some therapists take five or six sessions for anti-smoking and you only take one?

There are many reasons why therapists take a different number of sessions, to help with different problems; their training, their experience, their approach to the problem etc. My personal belief is that therapy should be conducted as easily and as quickly as is possible - without taking short cuts.
