What is Hypnotherapy and does it work?
I am a Bristol based Certified Hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is a safe, enjoyable and highly effective tool that can be used to break negative 'stories' (beliefs) that have caused issues such as depression and anxiety. It transforms your life.
What is RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy)?
Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) is the award-winning therapy that combines the most beneficial hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP, CBT, and neuroscience principles. RTT® continues to grow in global recognition and has proven to be one of the most effective therapies available for achieving fast and permanent results.
Will I be asleep?
No, you are in a deep relaxed state or a shallow trance and comfortable. Often you will not feel hypnotised until you come out of it. You are aware of everything and able to dialogue with me. You are always in control.
What if I cannot be hypnotised?
Everyone can be hypnotised but as long as you are willing to be. In fact we are in a hypnotic state several times during our day such as when driving on auto pilot, doing the washing up, listening to relaxing music and watching a film.
Can this take one session?
As we get direct access to the subconscious mind and it's vault of stories quickly, it saves you from hours and sometimes years of talk therapy which dialogues with the logical part of the mind; the conscious.
The root of the issues you come to me for are usually embedded in that extensive library of your subconscious mind and have been acquired in our much earlier years, such as childhood.
Usually 1 session is required per issue but sometimes it can take more than one session such as long term depression and anxiety which can take between 2 -3 sessions as a maximum.
Do you do Regression?
Yes. We go back to scenes, you will always review these scenes as if they were movie scenes but you will never relive them. This is really powerful and fascinating as you will be able to understand objectively the significance and meaning attached to these scenes. Once this is understood we can then transform the meaning.
Is it effective online?
Yes. It is very effective. Even though I am Bristol based, as long as you have reliable internet connection, you will be in a place of your choice and relaxed.
What happens after a session?
You will require some time to process and settle yourself following the shifts that have been made in the sessions. This may mean that you can feel anything from excitement, to reflection, to a sense of relief. This varies from client to client, but however you feel you will always leave the session feeling empowered through phenomenal understanding and subsequent freedom.
What if there is something I am not comfortable in talking about?
On occasion a client may have something come up to the surface and feel uncomfortable about talking about this. It is vital to remember that I am here for you and this will be respected during the session. Given that RTT is an amazing, phenomenal and flexible method within itself, we can work around those movie scenes without you having to disclose any intimate details.
Am I charged for the follow up 30 minute session?
No. This is included in the initial booking price. This session allows us to talk about your progress and we can gain further insight as well as giving you a fantastic opportunity to ask any questions.
What ages do you work with?
Anyone from 5 years and up; although these younger clients will be taken on a case by case. I have appropriate DBS checks in place. I have appropriate Safeguarding policies in place for the protection of children and vulnerable adults.
Are the sessions confidential?
Yes absolutely. I work within the Professional codes of ethics and any disclosed material will be kept in accordance with this code. All records are stored in compliance with the latest GDPR guidelines.
