• What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy that uses hypnosis to create a state of focused attention.

• How does Hypnotherapy work?

You will be guided into a relaxed state, which will then allow you to gain access to your subconscious mind. 

For Past Life Therapy sessions – where you work on emotional traumas, chronic pains, recurring patterns in your life, hypnotherapy allows you to be in a state of higher understanding and focus, whereby you are able to gain a different perspective of the issues you wish to work on. This helps in discovering the “point of origin” of your problem, thereby allowing for a much deeper healing experience. These sessions are very personalised and can be life transforming. As a follow up you will receive an audio recording of your session which sometimes helps you understand and gain an even deeper insight into your healing journey. These sessions can be up to 4 hours long.   

For personalised 1 to 1 sessions – where you work on a specific issue, such as anxiety or addictions, hypnotherapy allows you to be in a state of increased focus. 

Following an initial discussion about the issues of concern, we will use hypnotherapeutic interventions to help you in modifying unwanted behaviours, emotions, and stress responses. This allows for a restructuring of your thought processes leading to long lasting change. 

These suggestions are always discussed with you beforehand and agreed upon and will always be used for your benefit and your healing. These sessions are 60 minutes long. 

• Will I lose control?

You will always be in control during hypnotherapy.  Hypnotherapy is a technique that empowers you. It does not control you. 

• I thought hypnosis is just for entertainment?

Hypnotherapy is a respected therapeutic practice. It is used to help with emotional healing as well as personal growth, by providing you with a deeper understanding of your healing needs. 

• Can I get stuck during hypnosis?

No, you cannot. You can come out of a hypnotic state anytime you wish to do so. You are generally aware of yourself as well as your surroundings. 

• Can Hypnotherapy be against my beliefs?

Hypnotherapy does not lean itself towards any particular believe system, which therefore makes it compatible with all belief systems. Hypnotherapy sessions are about self-empowerment and mental wellness.

• I have heard that only certain people can be hypnotised?

95% of the population can be hypnotised. However, you must be willing to engage in the process as well as trust the process. Please feel free to ask further questions and I will be happy to answer and explain your personalised session approach with you.  

• What can I expect after my hypnotherapy session?

Most people will experience a feeling or relaxation and calmness, feeling at ease and a feeling of tranquillity. It is also normal to feel emotional after a session, as supressed feelings can surface as part of the healing process. 

• What happens during the Integration period – which is the time after my hypnosis session? 

You will need to allow time for your subconscious mind to incorporate the changes, suggestions, healing, and experiences from your session. This is a gradual process and takes time. The amount of time is different for each person, as you are unique, so is your integration period. 

• Diet and hydration after your session

It is important to stay hydrated after your session, as well as have a light snack to help you with your general wellbeing. 

• Will I need Follow-up sessions?

After your initial free consultation, you will receive an email with a summary of what you would like to work on as well as a suggested treatment plan by me. This includes how many sessions I believe you would benefit from, as well as a focus on certain therapeutic techniques which would work well with your concern.

For Past Life Therapy sessions – where you work on emotional traumas, chronic pains, recurring patterns in your life, you may find that one session is enough for you and has resolved what needed to be resolved. In some cases, you may feel the need for more sessions. You will know if you require further sessions. This will be entirely led by you.  

For personalised 1 to 1 sessions – where you work on a specific issue, you will always receive written acknowledgment of the issue you would like to work on, as well as the amount of sessions that I believe you would benefit from as a therapist. It therefore helps discussing future sessions. 

Feedback is important for you and for me, so I can help you get the best out of your sessions. 

• Is there anything I can do to help myself and my healing journey after my hypnosis session(s)?

There are a number of things you can do to help your ongoing healing journey, and we can discuss what would work best for you. You could consider the following though….

Reflective journaling - Writing down your thoughts and feelings after your session can help you track your progress as well as provide insights on your healing journey over time. 

Support networks - I encourage my clients to engage with a supportive network after their session, as this support can be instrumental in your healing journey. This can be friends and family members or joining the Healing a Moment in Time Facebook group to share and discuss experiences.

• Will there be ongoing changes within me?

Changes can continue to develop and solidify over the coming days, weeks and months. Be patient with yourself and take the time to observe these gradual transformations.
