You’re always in control during hypnosis—it’s not mind control or unconsciousness. Instead, it’s a deeply relaxed, heightened state of awareness and concentration that most people experience in everyday life without even realising it.

I will not know any of your secrets unless you share it proactively and consciously to help with your therapy.

Only if that’s secretly on your bucket list… but in reality, no.
It’s stage hypnosis that is designed for entertainment, where people volunteer to play along.
Hypnotherapy is very different—it’s a calm, professional process focused on helping you make positive changes.
You’re always aware, always in control, and definitely not about to sprout feathers.

Absolutely. I offer hypnotherapy sessions via Zoom, making it easy for you to access support from the comfort of your own home.
In fact, many people find online sessions even more effective—you’re in a familiar, relaxed environment, with no travel time or pressure. All you need is a quiet space, a stable internet connection, and a comfortable place to sit or lie back.
Virtual hypnotherapy is just as personal, focused, and impactful as in-person sessions—just more convenient and flexible around your lifestyle.

I don’t offer weekend appointments, as that time is dedicated to my family.
However, I provide a range of weekday sessions, including flexible daytime and evening options, so we can usually find a time that fits comfortably around your schedule.

In most cases, you won’t need to contact me between sessions. Hypnotherapy is designed to equip you with practical tools and techniques so you can confidently manage thoughts, feelings, and situations on your own.
Between sessions, you’ll often have simple exercises to use, which are an important part of the process and help reinforce the positive changes we’re working on together.
Of course, you’re always welcome to get in touch for practical matters such as rescheduling or cancelling an appointment.

Yes, absolutely. It’s very common to experience more than one challenge at the same time—whether that’s anxiety, sleep issues, confidence, or habits.
Hypnotherapy works by addressing the underlying patterns in the mind, so improving one area often has a positive ripple effect on others. We’ll work together to prioritise what matters most to you and create a clear, manageable plan so you feel supported—not overwhelmed.

Hypnotherapy sessions are structured, calm, and easy to follow, which many clients find reassuring from the very start.
In your initial consultation, we’ll talk through what you’d like help with, explain how hypnotherapy works, and outline what future sessions will look like, so you know exactly what to expect during the course of your therapy.
Ongoing sessions typically last around 50 minutes and include:
A friendly, practical conversation to understand progress and support you with tools and strategies
A period of guided relaxation and visualisation (hypnosis) to help your mind absorb positive changes
Each session builds on the last, helping you feel more confident, in control, and supported throughout the process.
