1. What is hypnotherapy?

   - Hypnotherapy is a technique that uses hypnosis to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility. During this state, a trained hypnotherapist guides you through a process designed to address specific issues and concerns, promoting mental and emotional well-being.

2. How does hypnotherapy work?

   - Hypnotherapy works by guiding you into a relaxed, trance-like state where your subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions. This allows the hypnotherapist to guide you to change negative thought patterns, behaviours, and emotions, leading to improved mental and physical health.

3. Is hypnotherapy safe?

   - Yes, hypnotherapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment when conducted by a certified hypnotherapist. It does not involve medication or physical interventions. Most people find it a pleasant and relaxing experience.

4. What issues can hypnotherapy help with?

   - Hypnotherapy can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety management, stress reduction, weight loss, confidence building, public speaking, fears, and phobias. It can also assist with habits like smoking cessation, sleep problems, and pain management.

5. Will I lose control during hypnotherapy?

   - No, you remain in control throughout the session. Hypnosis is a state of focused awareness, and you can reject any suggestions that do not align with your values or goals. You can come out of hypnosis at any time if you choose. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, the hypnotherapist is merely your guide.

6. Can everyone be hypnotised?

   - We go into hypnosis daily, for example when lost in a good film or perhaps when daydreaming. However, the depth of hypnosis and individual responsiveness can vary. Factors such as willingness, relaxation levels, and trust in the hypnotherapist play a role in the effectiveness of hypnosis.

7. What does it feel like to be hypnotised?

   - Being hypnotised feels different for everyone. Common sensations include deep relaxation, a sense of calm, and focused attention. Some people may feel light or heavy, while others might experience tingling or warmth. You remain aware of your surroundings and can recall the session afterward.

8. How many sessions will I need?

   - The number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the specific issue being addressed. Some issues, like smoking cessation, might be resolved in a few sessions, while others, like chronic anxiety or weight management, may require more extended treatment over several months.

9. What should I expect during a hypnotherapy session?

   - During a session, you will first discuss your goals and concerns with the hypnotherapist. Then, you will be guided into a relaxed state using techniques such as deep breathing and visualisation. Once in hypnosis, the hypnotherapist will provide suggestions and imagery designed to address your specific needs. The session concludes with a gentle return to full awareness.

10. How do I prepare for a hypnotherapy session?

11. How can hypnotherapy help with anxiety?

12. How does hypnotherapy reduce stress?

15. How many sessions are typically needed for weight loss?

    - The number of sessions varies depending on individual goals and progress. A typical weight loss programme is delivered over 4 weeks, as it takes 21 days to break a habit. Ongoing support can help reinforce healthy habits and prevent relapse. Your weight loss journey will be individual to you, and changing your habits will take action and reinforcement.

16. Will hypnotherapy make me lose weight automatically?
