How many sessions will I need?The number of sessions can vary based on individual needs and the nature of the issue. While some clients experience positive changes in a few sessions, others may benefit from a more extended treatment plan.
What does hypnosis feel like?Hypnosis is often described as a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. You remain aware and in control, similar to the feeling of being engrossed in a captivating book or movie.
Can anyone be hypnotized?Most people can experience a deep level of hypnosis. It depends on factors such as willingness, trust, and the ability to relax. I will work with you to find the approach that best suits your individual needs.
Is hypnotherapy effective for everyone?While hypnotherapy can be highly effective, individual results may vary. Factors such as motivation, openness to the process, and the complexity of the issue being addressed can influence outcomes.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?No, you will not lose control during hypnosis. You will be aware of your surroundings, and you can choose to terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is a collaborative process, and you are an active participant.
Can hypnotherapy be done online or over the phone?Yes, I offer virtual sessions through secure online platforms or over the phone. Virtual sessions can be as effective as in-person sessions, providing flexibility and convenience.
How should I prepare for a hypnotherapy session?Before a session, find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be interrupted. Reflect on your goals and bring an open mind to the session. Avoid consuming heavy meals or caffeine shortly before the appointment.

Do you have an alternative to being in a state of hypnonis?
Absolutely. Not everybody is comfortable to being in a state of hypnosis and I honour their thoughts and feelings about that . It has taken me some time and a lot of reseach to find a modality which, in my opinion, is as effective and gentle as my approach to hypnotherapy. The technique is called Root-Cause Therapy and I am so excited to offer this to my clients.
What is Root-Cause Therapy?
Root-Cause Therapy is an emotion focussed therapy which uses guided meditation, regression and future projection to get to the root cause and heal any current symptom taking us away from being naturally peaceful
With advanced ways of testing and discovering the actual causation of the currently presenting unease within oneself, we find the actual cause which could be reflecting itself through negative life patterns, thoughts and choices.
A qualified practitioner facilitates the client to tap into the self-healing mechanisms of the deeper parts of their mind in an empowering safe container, whilst still conscious and awake.
Each session with an RCT therapist is structured in such a way that they can help prioritise and work through life-long symptoms and past hurts in a gentle yet thorough way.

What makes Root-Cause Therapy different from Hypnotherapy or Talk Therapy?
Unlike hypnosis, which - for some people - can create a fear of lack of control and unlike talk therapy which, for some can anchor them in to their problem rather their desired outcome, this type of healing creates a space for you to unravel why you do, think or feel the way you do - and discover and shift any unwanted patterns consciously, with you in the driving seat along with the knowledge and guidance of your therapist.
Root-Cause Therapy is done on a conscious basis instead of a state of relaxation on a subconscious basis.
Both thechniques are highly effective, but like everything else in life, there is not a 'one solution for everything' approach. We all have different needs, wants and approaches we respond to most positively.
One of the most commonly asked questions is whether delving into old trauma is necessary for progress. Many individuals express concerns about potentially opening up difficult emotional experiences, often describing it as "opening a can of worms."
Over my 10+ years of practicing hypnotherapy, I've shifted away from the traditional approach of revisiting and reframing past traumas. Instead, my focus is on guiding clients toward their desired reality and addressing any resistance they may have to achieving their goals. Rather than dwelling on the past or emphasizing perceived shortcomings, I work collaboratively with clients to identify what they truly want in life. The aim is to connect with the feeling of that goal and help them release barriers that stand between their current situation and the reality they wish to manifest.

This method underscores immersing oneself in the sensation (feeling) of the desired outcome at present and demonstrating to the Subconscious Mind the new programming you've chosen. Visualization plays a key role, emphasizing the idea that you need to see it before you can truly be it.
So, if you are ready to be the creator of your own destiny, I am ready to help you get there.
