Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in a session with you?Each session is a gentle, supportive space where we work with both the mind and the nervous system. I combine counselling, somatic awareness, and focused hypnosis to help uncover and shift the deeper patterns behind what you're experiencing.
Every session is guided by what feels safest and most supportive for you.
What is counselling-led focused hypnosis?Counselling-led focused hypnosis is a therapeutic approach that blends talk therapy, nervous system support, and guided hypnosis.
Rather than simply giving suggestions, we explore the underlying emotional patterns and beliefs first. Hypnosis then allows us to work with the subconscious mind where lasting change can happen.
This makes the process gentle, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your pace.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?No. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation, similar to being deeply absorbed in a book or daydream.
You remain aware, in control, and able to speak at any time. You cannot be made to do anything that goes against your values or comfort.
What kinds of things can hypnosis help with?Focused hypnosis can support change in many areas, including:
• Anxiety and overwhelm
• Stress and nervous system regulation
• Smoking or vaping cessation
• Weight and eating habits
• Confidence and self-worth
• Limiting beliefs or emotional blocks
• Financial or success blocks
• Habits and behavioural patterns
Each session is personalised to your needs.
Do I need to believe in hypnosis for it to work?Not at all. Hypnosis works through focus, relaxation, and openness to the process, not belief.
Many people come in feeling curious or unsure, and that is completely okay.
What should I do after a session?After a session your mind and body continue to integrate the work.
You may notice:
• Deep relaxation or tiredness
• Emotional shifts
• New insights or clarity
• Subtle changes in thoughts or behaviours
Giving yourself time to rest, hydrate, and reflect can help support the process.
